Some were better than others. But these 5 were a few of my favorites:
- The one where I compared myself to a Bachelor contestant.
- The one where I realized this blog has ventured down an unanticipated path.
- The one where I realized that even the ordinary is extraordinary in Chicago.
- The one where I got a new job.
- The one where I witnessed a birth.

But if you're keeping score, these 5 were the most popular:
- The one where I realized when the Art Institute is free for Illinois Residents.
- The one where I imagined my Ideal Day.
- The one where I Dared to Dream.
- The one where I shared my favorite bits of Academy Award Fashion.
- The one where I went on a Meetup walking tour.
2012 has definitely been chock full of great memories for us and I can't wait to see what 2013 brings!
How will you remember 2012?
What are you looking forward to in 2013?
