I give it a C+

I am back after nearly half a year. No promises to sticking to this thing, but I thought I could start with an easy recap of 2011.

2011 may have been the most chaotically exciting year of my life.

I don't wish its return, but its memories will forever be ladened in my heart. These memories were some of the best and some of the worst, but all of them pushed me on to something new and undiscovered.

Most of my best memories were spent with the people that I love, and for the early months of 2011, these people had new faces. For in 2011, we...

traveled to The Land Down Under

swam in the Great Barrier Reef

mastered public transport

were aired on national television

ate some really bad food....

but ate some really good food too

we danced...

and danced...

and danced some more

we slept under the stars in the Outback

and jumped off bridges

In 2011 we also had to say goodbye...

to the memories we made in Oz

and from a place called home, we had to say goodbye to a loving grandmother...

In 2011, I spent my summer...

at our favorite beach

but not until I beat mono

I began my senior year of college and....

moved off campus

stayed up ridiculously late, doing ridiculous things...

like discovering Pinterest...

and Skyping until the AM

In 2011 we...

watched our best friends get married

fell in love

made memories in an enchanted lake house

we told stories of the good ol' days

and we reunited frequently

I am thankful for the year 2011, and I already anticipate the moments, hours, and days that 2012 will bring with it.
