"Da List" 52 Things in 2012

2012 already that means it's time for another list!  Last year I completed 34 items on my list and I finished two things 1/2 way.  As I've said before it's not about completing everything as much as it is exploring things I want to do and holding myself accountable.  2011 was a great year so many memorable moments.  My friend Rachael told me that it was the year of the girlfriend - she is partially right as for me it was more the year of the friends.  I easily made 10 new friends last year - lasting great friendships and I strengthened other friendships I had as well.  It was the year of the penguin for our family and we went off on many penguin adventures.  It was also a good year for crafting even though I have so many 1/2 finished projects.   

Anyhow I'll be recapping some special moments later this week but without further ado here is "Da List" of goals.
