2011 in review

Happy end of 2011, friends! Now that we're rounding out the year, it's time to sum up the year in photos and blog posts (my good friend Lisa used to do this every year and I loved it).

[january]
The year started off amazing, with my besties Jordan and Rae inviting me over for salmon and s'mores. So good!

[february]
Nick turned 23 (I know, I'm robbin' the cradle) and we celebrated with a ton of friends and plenty of cake!

[march]
Two of my good Waco friends, Hillary and Bryan, moved away from Waco since Hillary successfully defended her PhD. The LaBouffs threw an amazing Texas-themed going away party in their honor.

[april]
Not only did I turn 25 (woot!), I also got the best teaching evaluation I will probably ever receive in my entire life.

[may]
I visited Washington while Nick was in Kenya and dyed my hair brown. Smart decision!

[june]
Nick came back to the states after six weeks in Kenya looking like Abe Lincoln. Or a monkey. Nick was also in a wedding, which was probably the highlight of our year.

[july]
We spent Independence Day with two of the most loving, hilarious people we know: the Baller Wallers.

[august]
Nick reintroduced me to mountain biking and it becomes our sport of choice. I became frequently injured.

[september]
We randomly heard about a scavenger hunt in Waco and won $300. Booyah. Dr. Drew and I also became besties.

[october]
We tried our hand at a vlog and the response we received was overwhelming. We will probably never be this awesome again.

[november]
We spent our second Baylor Homecoming together and our blog got a facelift.

[december]
I wrote a witty Christmas letter for my family and friends, RG3 won the Heisman, and Baylor made it to a Bowl game. Sic 'em!

Happy 2011 y'all! Hope your year in review was hilarious to recall as ours! What was your favorite part of 2011?

I came across your blog from Sunlight after rain... it's super cute!! Love the post about date night, wish I could have thought of that pre-Christmas.
