2011

I realize I am doing this a little bit late, but I have been wanting to do it for a while and have been lazy with the whole blogging thing and just haven't! I figure better late than never right? Besides, I have loved reading other people's years in review and found it very fun and entertaining to reflect back on my 2011 year. It was a good one and I just thought I would share a few of the highlights.

  1. ahh i loved reading this and remebering things! that valentine's day was soooo fun! how do you feel about re-living that this year? i know this is sort of a downer thing to mention since it's over but i miss gamma so much. it makes me so happy to see that last year we still got to be involved, we still had activities and we still had that beloved sorority. that st. patrick's day was bomb. i'm so glad we hung out so much! also i totallllly forgot you met danny on the cruise!! not even kidding you, i miss that cali trip weekly. that was by far one of the best trips of my life. so relaxing & so fun. those kids, oh gosh i love those kids.
