Here's a brief review. Hey, I had more success than I expected, but I looks like some of these aspirations will be carrying over to this year...
Places I'd like to travel this year:
-England (for work and maybe some family history?) - check, July
-Washington DC
-Salt Lake City - check, December
-Seattle - check, September
-Alaskan cruise (I hope!) - check, June
-Alcatraz
Things I'd like to do:
-establish and stick to a regular exercise plan - I had my moments...but...
-attend the temple at least twice a month - well...on and off...
-visit 2 new temples - check (Freiberg and Salt Lake)
-complete Project Management certification - postponed
-take some formal training in genealogy and attend at least 1 conference - Conference yes, formal training no
-purge the storage in my room and get the rest of my stuff out of my parents' house - um...
-continue learning how to sew - check (I even have my own machine now!)
-explore new cooking adventures - still in progress, I think this will be an ongoing goal
All in all, not as bad as I thought.
And as I did last year, a month by month review:
January: Awesome trip to Disneyland with Katy and Jessica where we stayed at the Grand Californian (I love, love, love that hotel!)
February: Short, last minute trip to Germany which included a trip to the Freiberg Temple.
March: We did a special trip to the Oakland Temple Visitor's center followed by a meal at Fenton's. I also experienced the Boiling Crab for the first time with the guys from work.
April: Lost a good friend (Erin) and reunited with some other good friends (Monica, Sharon, Alexa). Visited Filoli for the first time.
May: Another last minute trip to Germany (I was gone a total of 96 hours...). And a solar eclipse that was pretty sweet.
June: Saw the opening night of Brave and then left for Alaska! It was amazing! Visited Filoli for the second time.
July: Family history conference in Sacramento and Germany (most likely for the last time), England and 1/2 a day in Scotland. An amazing trip (which I unfortunately have no pictures of...).
August: Katy moved out :( Lily (my "niece") was born :)
September: Kate moved in :) and I got to travel to Seattle with my work guys for our "offsite" meeting. Our condo was burglarized (this is how I lost the pictures from England and Scotland). We decided to celebrate Christmas in September to lift our spirits.
October: Halloweentime at Disneyland with my girls (Katy and Jessica). And a new job!
November: I got older again. The election drove me crazy and I wasn't terribly happy with the outcome. Sucessfully completed 30 Thankful days.
December: I threw a successful white elephant gift exchange. Christmas with the family! And an awesome trip to Salt Lake City and Midway Utah. So much fun...
Aspirations for 2013:
Carry over from last year includes:

and
-Alcatraz
I don't have so many lofty travel goals this year; since I have a new job, I anticipate I won't be able to take as much vacation time. But I'm hoping to go to a couple of trainings through work that will take me to some interesting locations (like maybe Disney World in Orlando?).
I would also like to add "learn to love 2 Nephi (Isaiah)" to my aspirations for 2013(Thank you for the inspiration awesome Gospel Doctrine teacher in Utah).
This seems like a rather short list, perhaps I should ask my friends for suggestions. Hmm...
