Boy, you sure did go by really quickly. You brought some great memories and laughs with you, and I don't think I could ever forget you. Your friend 2012 is almost here to visit and I'd appreciate it if you could tell her to take her time. I don't like the way you years come and go so fast.
You stayed for 12 months, and while I could easily pick a million things I loved about you, I thought it would be fun to reminisce for a minute and choose one thing that stuck out in my mind from each month.
January kicked off the year right with a mini project reunion. At Winter Conference I got to see 9 people from my project family!
February brought a snow day! We spend the morning building a fort and forcing our friends to stay and have fun with us! We watched movies and cuddled to stay warm, then all made dinner together as a family!
SPRING BREAK! Mid-march we packed the cars and drove to Mexico for a few days. Easily the best of the six spring breaks I got throughout my college career! Sitting in an empty pro baseball stadium wasn't bad either!
In April I got to celebrate the wedding of sweet Reeders. It has been so fun to be involved in the weddings of these roommates! And now Megan and Stephen are expecting a little bundle of joy!
May was gradation! As a student, this day couldn't come quick enough. As a recent grad, I'd do anything to go back to those times.
Team Time in June! This was my going away party and most of my best friends came to the lake to hang out one final time! Such special people to me!
July brought the biggest adventure of my life. I hopped on a plane with this girl and moved around the world!
Wait a minute, is that the Sydney Opera House?! Yeah it is, suckers! In August I got to spend a few days in this beautiful city and literally could not get enough of this harbour. LOVED IT!
In September, Abby, Em, and I went to our first Footy match. Here we had no idea how the sport was played and it looked like extreme chaos on the field, but we loved it nonetheless.
In October we escaped the city and spend the day hiking in the Dandenong Mountains.
I don't actually have a picture of what I remember the most about November, so this will have to do. In November, we celebrated Thanksgiving! Even though we are thousands and thousands of miles away from the Land of the Free, we weren't about to let the tradition die!
December helped one of my dreams comes true: I got to spend Christmas day on the beach!!! What better way to end the year than crossing something off your bucket list!?
If 2012 is anything like you it will be a year for the books. 2011, I loved having you here. See ya never
