top ten from '10

December 31, 2010

This has been one amazing and incredible year! I'm a little sad 2010 is ending but I am ridiculously excited for 2011. There are so many great things ahead..like getting married!

Here are my top ten highlights from 2010 in order by month:

Last December 31/January 1st Matthew and I rang in the new year together for the first time! 
{the year before I was sick in bed}
We also went to New York City which was so fun! We ate so much great food and explored the city.
In February my grandma came into town to see me and my mom, and the three of us had a fun couple days in Santa Barbara.
In March Matthew and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary over yummy Thai food.
And Hanna and I had a little girls weekend at Elizabeth's in San Diego!
In April Matthew and I went down to San Diego, had an adventure, and spent time with his sweet family.
Matthew also won me a stuffed animal at a carnival!
In May we adopted our little Ginger Bear! Look at how tiny she was..sigh I miss those days!
In June I celebrated my birthday over cupcakes with my boyfriend!
In July Matthew and I had the incredible opportunity to shoot with Jose Villa. Love these photos!
In August I went to Las Vegas to celebrate my best friend Lizzie's birthday! I love our girl time.
In September Matthew got down on one knee and I cried my eyes out! {and said yes of course!}
In October my mom and I flew to Pittsburgh to celebrate my Grandma's 86th birthday
Matthew and I also had a fun little Halloween party with our Gigi Bee!
In December we got into our best 60s attire and went to a Mad Men themed holiday party!
Oh, 2010, thank you for being so good to me! I think I included more than 10 things but it was hard to narrow them down. I can't wait for what lies ahead in 2011!!

Tonight we are ringing in the new year with some close friends. 
It's going to be pretty laid back, but perfect!  

Happy New Years Eve everyone!! 
Thank you all for being such a wonderful part of my year!
