Trying to annotate a game for the first time.

I have no idea how the Game Analysis forum works, there don't seem to be many game analysis. Are there any rules? I read the pinned post I saw it says not to look at Chess engines, so I have avoided this. 
I have tried to annotate my latest game with my own ideas. I did look at a game database. Hope it isn't too silly. I'm sort of just guessing about the evaluations but I think it was a fairly even game. Hopefully someone enjoys it even if I'm just doing this for myself. 
I thought it would take 30-60 minutes but it seems like I was at it for 3 hours. I think mostly thinking about how to put my simplistic ideas into words.
I also want to thank my opponent (@orestevie) for playing with me.

Good job.

I don't think many people post analysis these days that hasn't been checked by an engine.

What you said made pretty good sense to me but I think you were too hard on Bd3.

Yeah, probably I'm too hard on Bd3. It probably shouldn't make the summary.

I think my own summary is that white blundered a pawn on move 12 and maybe should have played Be3, not only to defend the D pawn but because this is a development move. Black soon made some mistakes too and finally white put the rook on the 7th, which probably made for a very advantageous position for white. Basically white won because black's bad moves came later than white's.

I think if I annotate my own game again in the next couple of week I'll try to play a 15|10 rapid instead of blitz.
