Senators serve a term of 6 years. Every two years, 1/3 of the Senate is up for election. There is one election in each state in which no Senator is up for reelection (2 Senators/State...only 2 elections required). Depending on the sequence for your state you may or may not be voting for a Senator in the 2012 election.
There are also special elections. These are usually a result of death or resignation of a Senator. Each state has a method to handle this. The person who is elected in a special election completes the term of the person he is replacing.
