When I think back on this year, SO many amazing things come to mind. Here are just a few:
In April I drove 6 hours with two of my best friends to spend Easter at Tybee Island, GA.
In May I graduated from college and made my way home to PA
In June, I flew across the Atlantic to Sofia, Bulgaria to work with Mission to the World as a summer intern. We visited Velingrad, Asenovgrad, Plovdiv, and lived in Sofia.
In Mid-June, we took a weekend trip to Istanbul Turkey, where we visited the Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar and the Kings Palace. We stayed in a hostel (strangely enough called 'Paris Hostel'), drank loads of apple tea (YUM!) and suffered on a hot, stinky train.
In July we took a week long hike in the Balkans (Rila Mountains) and saw some of the most beautiful views imaginable.
In August I returned to the US, and moved into my first apartment to attend grad school.
Since then, I've spent time studying, traveling to NYC, GA & KY, enjoying fall and a lovely Christmas break.

So much can happen in a year! This time last year I had NO idea I would spend the summer in Bulgaria. I had no idea I would be attending grad school...or living on my own. It just goes to show how many amazing things can happen in one year - I can't wait to look back on this post next year and see how much has happened in 2012!
