Okay I wanted to be like all the cool-kids and write a 2012 post but wasn’t sure where to start. So I saw people posting these 12 photos for 2012 (one photo for each month) I thought maybe I could handle this. And I promise to try and not overload you with too many Disney Pictures. Except I really failed at this and have over 30 photos……I guess I was really busy in 2012!
January – Santa brought me a Disney World Annual Pass for Christmas and since I wasn’t working I spent the first week of January exploring WDW while my Mom attended a conference in Orlando. At the end of the month I attended Interactive Connections and learned about Technology in Catechesis and learned about the 7 Crisis’ the church is facing. I got a blogging buddy and I guest posted about NFP as a Single Lady.
My favorite photo of Cinderella’s Castle
This on the inside of the castle. All the drawings are beautifully done.
February – The job search continued. However 2012 was a leapyear.How did you spend your extra day? I spent mine at Disney World. They were opened for 24 hours and I was there from 11pm – 6am when it closed. The best part is there were tons of people JUST THERE that the lines for all the rides were non-existant.
Only time Minnie and Mickey have ever come out in PJ’s
March – My Birthday! I turned 26…man I’m getting old. The Leapday Trip went into March and was for my birthday. I’ll never remember we met a guy at the hotel pool who’s daughter was part of the Make a Wish Program. I felt bad for the guy because his ex-wife wouldn’t let him stay at the condo at the wish a kid place. In February Disney launched The Sorcerer’s of The Magic Kingdom game. It was fun until August when the servers crashed and I LOST all the progress I was working on. It was still fun to collect the cards though.

In March I got a temp job that lasted a week and we moved in with the Amish!
April – I got a JOB! It was a great job with great people being a Jill of all trades aka doing tasks that no one else wanted to do. We had our confirmation retreat and Milo got a new Pillow.
May – I got a Smartphone! Had a funny conversation with autocorrect.
I participated in The Ultimate Blog Swap! And I went to my first blog conference and met a celebrity!
And I took my sister with me to Disney
and we saw this awesome Avengers Monorail!!
June – I got to throw rose pedals on the ground before the eucharist during the Eucharistic Congress Procession.
We went to the beach (when it wasn’t raining)!
And I learned how to make this yummy Frech Fry Recipe.
July – My cousins came down and we went to Disney for a week!! It was a lot of fun to visit with them and go to Disney even though it was soooo HOT! The lines weren’t as bad as I thought they would be.
I love this picture! It was the HOT part of the day and we needed naps. LOL
August – I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled. I got the Muzzy photo app and had fun playing with all the features. I also scored some couponing deals.
Creepy Geico landed on my window while I was driving!!
September – I started this blog. I left all my couponing/saving money posts at The Catholic Couponer and moved all my faith, giveaways, reviews, and disney posts here. I wrote an awesome post about Steve Angrisiano. We took a daytrip to Legoland. It was neat to see the Lego City!!

And we supported our community by eating at The Columbia on 1905 Day! Every September there is a Sunday they sell everything for the prices they were in 1905! The 3 of us ate for $30 with TIP! At a restaurant that would have cost us $20/person!
1905 Day!
