I'm reflecting on the top posts you all enjoyed of 2012. It's interesting to see which posts most of you like to read about. You can also take a look back at the post I put together for the top posts of 2011 - it's interesting to see a recap of each year - especially since each year for us has involved new states to live in, new jobs, challenges, etc. Thanks to all of you for making this blog fun and supporting it/us along the way!

The most read post of 2012: Our vacation to Texas in August. Oh, that pool. You must've liked it too. I long for summer as I write this post on a single digit degree winter day (where tomorrow won't get above zero degrees). My parents have such an oasis in that backyard!

I wrote about Fibro updates in October, shared fall photos and some of our fall football excitement:)

This post was right after I attended my first (and only at this point) Fibromyalgia Support Group. I reflected about my time there with Nick by my side and shared pictures of the beauty nearby.

Writing about the beginning of my dairy free adventure and about why I excluded dairy from my diet, and ways I was coping with the new diet.

This post was one I received a lot of love and support after writing. It was an honest reflection of Fibromyalgia's impact on me and how heavy the burden can be. This was a post that helped me share more accurately what I had been dealing with. The love and support of all of you truly helps me in this battle.

{6} Girls Night
The girls came to town and I met up with them for a trip to the MOA, to dinner, and a girls night sleepover. Oh how I love my friends:)

This post was all about my winning an all expense paid trip to VEISHEA with a guest (Nick!) for the weekend, thanks to the ISU Alumni Association Young Alumni Council. It was such a great blast from our past and we got all of the VIP accesses. It was a much needed gift at a time that was so greatly appreciated! We also got to meet up with Rachel, Jared and their two little ones - I got to finally meet sweet little Haven too. What a weekend.
This post was an update as I worked with Fibromyalgia Specialists and shared things I had been doing to help my symptoms (stretches, headache tips, excluding gluten from my diet, etc. )

This post shared about the bitter cold Minnesota winter (and my layers to cope with it!), and my excitement about the book FibroWHYalgia, by Sue Ingebretson (who wished me a Happy Birthday on Facebook yesterday by the way! What an amazing lady, I so appreciate her attentiveness to those of us walking the path the has walked). Such a great book for anyone dealing with similar chronic pain issues.
We have a tie for #10! Here are the two posts tied for #10:
{10:1} Best Husband Ever
This post is the truth. It shared about my birthday last year and how good Nick is to me. Our love grows more each day - I can't even put into words how much he helps me cope with the daily battles of fibro and shares in all the laughter and joys of this life too.

{10:2} Home {decor} Tour
As we finally got our apartment settled and decorated last May, I was excited to share some of our additions to make our home feel like home. I get a lot of joy out of decorating and using my creative side! I also shared about my new jewelry organization tool made by my friends! It holds my earrings and I got two decorative pieces to store my necklaces too. I absolutely love it.
I enjoy looking back to see what last year had in store for us, and think 2013 will be an even better year. Thanks for coming along this journey with us, I look forward to seeing what is yet to come!
