2011 in Review

I thought I should probably get the 2011 Highlights posted before it gets too deep into 2012... What a fast year! The first 5 months were such a blur with wedding planning, getting married, and watching our house get built. Once we moved in, I felt a lot of self-imposed pressure to get the house set up before heading off for Austria, so it started feeling homey pretty quickly. At the time, it was slow, but looking back, my time in Austria went by in a blink. I'm so happy to have met such amazing people from all over the world. Since we've been back, 3 of my closest friends have gotten married. That makes 8 weddings this year! I really enjoyed spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with our in-laws. Hoping to see my side of the family soon! So good-bye 2011! Hoping 2012 is just as amazing!
