2011 End of Year Wrap-up

2011 was a pretty good year.  Here are some of the high points:

We bought our first house!  This is me on closing day, in my beautiful new kitchen.  A few weeks later, we celebrated our 4th anniversary. 

I traveled a fair amount.  In February, I went to Tempe, AZ to visit a friend.

 

In March, John and I went to Washington, DC and hit up all the tourist spots.  One of our good friends was living out there, so we had free lodging and an awesome tour guide!

 

In May, I went to see Wicked (for the second time, still awesome) with John's mom, sister, aunt and grandma.  It was a great night!  It's ok if you are jealous of my in-laws.  

In June, I went out to Colorado for my friend, Laura's wedding.  I also got to see her in August when I was back in Denver for a work trip! 

I also went to Indianapolis in June to visit the fam, Kansas City in April for a friend's bachelorette party, the middle of nowhere Kansas for my family reunion in August, Wichita in November for another friend's wedding, and then back to Indy for Christmas. 

I read 30 books in 2011.  Now, I know this isn't impressive compared to a lot of people, but I'm comfortable with it.  My favorites were The Hunger Games trilogy, Bossy Pants, and Freakonomics.

And last but not least, I started this blog!  After reading other fashion blogs for quite awhile, and a LOT of encouragement from friends and family, I finally jumped in and did it on November 18th.

Here's to 2012!!
