As one chapter ends, another begins...

I really can't complain about 2011. This has been a year of risks and celebrations for me and though by no means was every day, or even week, a good one (some were even downright awful), on the whole it was a year of real growth for me and I can only hope that 2012 will be half as wonderful.

Some highlights of 2011 (I'd make it a "top 10" but I've just enjoyed so much and really can't rank it):

- Bungy jumping - Queenstown, New Zealand - this was so scary, but I gotta say, I was left with the feeling that if I can jump off a bridge and trust that I'd be okay, I can do anything.
- Kayaking in Halong Bay with my Alex's
- Missoni for Target Sale - Morgan and I even scored some new friends out of it.
- Dinner and a cab ride in New Orleans
- Wilshire Walk with my fearless companions Rob and Sidney
- Seeing Book of Mormon - yes I saw it and YES it is every bit as wonderful as is I'd hoped.
- Dodger Game with the German boys
- Super fun girls game night - this has become my moms signature party and is always a good time.
- Glow Worm Caves
- Tour of Disney Channel Animation (thanks Jill!) and lunch at the American Girl Place with cousin Bella
- Angkor Wat - wins the awe factor of the year
- Harry Potter Christmas Party - I literally went to Hogwarts. Hands down the best party I've ever been to.
- MONA Museum in Tasmania - the more I think about it the more I want to go back.

And that's just my short list. Tonight I rang in the New Year with Uncle George, Aunt Kathy, and sister Lisa in New Jersey as Lisa and I are about to head off on our first grand adventure of 2012!! Stay tuned as we will be posting as frequently as possible in the coming days.

Happy New Years!!!
