I can’t believe 2011 is just about over. I feel like we were just ringing in 2011 yesterday, and now we’re getting ready to bring on 2012.
2011 Highlights
In March, we took Kevin’s nephew Riley on his first trip to Disney World: a must for any baby in Orlando. It was so neat to see Disney World through a child’s eyes again.
In April, I started this little blog, which has been an amazing creative outlet and a way to combine my loves of eating, writing and staying fit. I’ve also met so many wonderful people through the blog community and have been able to document so many wonderful events and moments in my life.
In May, I took my first-ever work trip for a conference and got to meet Richard Blais, winner of Top Chef: Masters, at the conference dinner.
In July, I relived my childhood at the New Kids on the Block/Backstreet Boys concert and we took a weekend trip to Ft. Myers Beach.
Then in September, I had my favorite moment of 2011: I got engaged!
Looking ahead
I am incredibly excited for so many things in 2012. Of course, we have our wedding next December.
I am also looking to take the GMAT in the beginning of the year and apply for business schools to get my MBA. Hopefully I kick some GMAT butt!
Last week, one of my best friends and bridesmaids, Sarah, got engaged to her wonderful fiancé Edgar, and she has asked me to be a bridesmaid. I am so honored and so excited to help her with her planning process next year. They are such a great couple, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m so glad we’ll be planning our weddings together!
2012 should be a great year, and I’m so thankful for how wonderful 2011 was. Thank you for sharing in all of my memories over the past year through the blog.
What was your favorite moment of 2011?
Good luck on the GMAT Jessica! I’m looking into the general grad school test (I think it’s the GRE?) and it’s scary! I’m really nervous about the math portion…this is like the SATs all over again!
Looks like you had a great year and plenty of excitement to come! Happy New Year!
So much good stuff going on in this post! I love that first picture at Disney, simply adorable
Good luck on the GMATs Jessica!
I had no idea that you only started your blog in April! It’s so crazy that so many of my favorite blogs (yours included) started around the same time I did. I guess we all are on the same track?
Have a healthy & happy New Year!
Love that beach picture! My favorite thing of 2011 was definitely my second marathon. And most certainly not the first one.
We haven’t heard any new wedding details lately….*hint*
