Year in Review!

Wow!  What a year!  It's been mostly good.....except for the part where my husband still lives in another state.  That hasn't gotten any better!  Maybe I should start a campaign to bring Billy home!  If any of you know of ANY jobs.....;)

I can't believe 2011 is OVER!

Some notables?  Is it bad I can't think of anything right this second?  Good thing you guys have no idea how long it takes me to type a post! ;)

1.  I was lucky enough to visit Florida (and my dear sister, Alli) again!  Mom and I went over 4th of July weekend and it was pretty awesome.  We found a yogurt bar called Yogurt Ur Way and it pretty much made my heart happy (and the number on the scale climb)!  And I guess I should remind you all that I went parasailing in Key West!  That made me feel pretty brave!

2.  We went to ALL kinds of sporting events over the year!  Some favorites?  Sitting courtside at the Pacers game (and appearing on the kiss cam.....with my BROTHER!!!!!)!  We also loved the two Columbus Crew games (and many autographs), the Louisville/Butler basketball game, the many U of L soccer games, Manchester United game in Chicago, and of course, all of Blake's games! :)  Still on the bucket list?  A Cincinnati Bengals game!

3.  Lola turned 3.  Blake turned 9.  I thought I was 33 for an entire year.  When I found out I was only 32, it was pretty awesome!  I'm making the most of my REAL 33rd year....and writing a book about it, too!

4.  We (mainly I) went to some pretty AMAZING concerts!  Bests of the best?  My Morning Jacket, Blink 182, Jimmy Eat World.  Honorable mention?  Journey.
5.  Billy totaled his car and had to get a new(er) one.  We are glad he was okay!  He still works super hard for his family!  We miss him and love him each and every day!

Some resolutions?  I usually don't make many resolutions or set many goals.  (Is that bad???)  But I guess I will have a couple for the year and we'll see how it goes!

1.  Lose weight (same goal every year)!
2.  Train hard for my VERY FIRST mini marathon (April 28th)!
3.  Finish my book.  And getting a book published would be pretty sweet, too! 
4.  Get more people to read my blog (my viewer count was down this year....sad)!

We had a pretty great year, I suppose!  We got to see many dear friends.  We went on lots of fun trips.  We are looking forward to the upcoming year.  And here's to remembering to write 2012 on all appropriate documents.  It's always the hardest thing about the New Year!  ;)  May you all have a prosperous one!
