New Year SOOC

I know it's not the new year yet, but it's only a few days away! Hard to believe that another year has passed. And it was a big one for me, mainly because of the wedding and honeymoon. Some other memorable events from 2011:

-Jon and I spent a week in FL and a week in TN in January. We were able to spend lots of time with family, and we still squeezed in a couple days with friends.
-My family threw a big party for my grandma's birthday in February. We tried to take a family photo, but we didn't fit in one room.
-My younger brother started playing baseball, which provided lots of great photo ops.
-My younger brother also went to his senior prom, and graduated from high school. It was a big year for him, too!
-My friends and family surprised me with a wonderful bridal shower in June.
-I went down to NJ with my family for my cousin's graduation party.
-Some friends and I went to NYC to the American Museum of Natural History.
-We also went to the Maritime Aquarium in CT.
-My parents remodeled the master bath and bedroom in their house.
-One of my best friends/bridesmaids had a baby boy!
-I finally made it to the Renaissance Faire.
-I participated in Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk.
-Jon and I both turned 26, so we are in our last year of saying "mid-twenties."
-Another best friend had a baby girl! Jon and I were given the honor of being the godparents.

I'm hoping for another big year next year! The good times are what make me stronger during the bad times.




New year, new challenges.
