To say that 2011 was an amazing year would be a major understatement. It was life-changing, emotional, and full of memories that I will hold onto for the rest of my life! In chronological order, here are my top ten from 2011:
1. Matthew surprised me at my bridal shower with a book of photos secretly taken during the proposal
2. Going to Miami with my best friend Lizzie and meeting the Refinery29 team
3. Getting married to Matthew in May!!! {This one obviously takes the cake for a lifetime!}
4. Going to Italy for our Honeymoon!
5. My 24th Birthday
6. Matthew's 30th Birthday Surprise Weekend in Paso Robles! {This photo cracks me up!}
7. Taking Ginger to the dog beach for the first time
8. Becoming ModCloth's Blogger of the Moment!
9. Getting an incredible job and then being featured on Ruche's front page
10. Going to Santa Ynez with two of our closest friends in December
Here's to a new year, full of more adventures and precious memories!
I hope you all ring in the new year tonight surrounded by the ones you love.
Happy New Year's Eve!
