The End of 2011

Can you believe 2012 is just around the corner?  That means one more year left for civilization...according to the Mayans.

Let's look back on the year...

January 2011: My New Year's Resolution was to slowly become a vegetarian, then a full vegan by the end of the year.

March 2011: I became a full vegan.

May 2011: I took a trip to Mammoth Mountain, CA and had way too much fun for a work trip.
      I went to Boston for the first time and fell in love with the city.  It's big, but not New York big.  The streets are crowded with people, but in a pleasant way.

August 2011: Baby Walter is born on August 11.
     Family road trip!  We drove to Vegas and spent the evening with friends we haven't seen in years!  Then we drove to Carpinteria, CA for my cousin's beautiful wedding.  After the wedding we drove up to Lake Tahoe, another place I've never been.  I decided that it's overrated.

September 2011: Another family trip to Wisconsin for a week.  We only get back every couple of years.  Cheesehead for life!

October 2011: I get to meet Baby Walter!  I flew up to Boise for the weekend and spent it holding Walter, burping Walter, and handing Walter off when he needed to be changed.  Such a cute boy, that Dubya!

November 2011: Work trip to Copper Mountain, CO.  Not as fun as Mammoth...

December 2011: I turned 27!

My brother, Matt, comes home from New York on Saturday.  I'm excited to have him home, but he'll be here for two and a half weeks.  That's a lotta Matt!  Ok, ok, it's not just a lotta Matt.  I know that we're all going to be spending as much time together as possible, and that's a lotta family time! 

Happy holidays everyone!  The next post comes from the New Year.  Stay tuned for my 2012 New Year's Resolution!
