I am saying goodbye to 2012 & thriving forward into 2013!
But, before I do this, I wanted to recap on how 2012 truly changed my life.

I could probably insert every single picture I’ve taken over the last year into this post;
but I wouldn’t want to take up too much of your time Winking smile

So, I’ll stick with some high lights!

I had an amazing student teaching experience.

I was very lucky to have awesome co-op teachers as well as students that I will never forget.
I believe that I truly made an impact on them in a positive way.

Saying “see you later” to our students! – not goodbye.

I was even featured on the local news!

I met my amazing boyfriend, Corey, who treats me like a princess.

He is the most caring, compassionate, genuine, & level headed guy I’ve ever met.

Right before I was about to register for the program, I got asked to speak at the

It was in Colorado where I decided to 100% go for my business idea that I always wanted to achieve.

With the inspiration from my fellow FitFluential Ambassadors & the other’s I met there,

I came home & am now almost to the point of launching my business 6 months later.
