2011 in pictures









It’s always hard to believe that our “new year” is almost over. Every year. Time always seems to speed up. Maybe it’s age. Who knows.

2011 was a good year.

I was just looking back over the montage I made from 2010 and remembering memories made….was it really almost 2 years ago?! Geesh.

I don’t have the time or memory to do a month by month play like I did last year but I will hit some of the highlights…..

I turned 29.

My nephew turned 1.

My sister got engaged.

I was accepted into Occupational Therapy School.

I have now completed 2 semesters (out of 9).

I spent a week at the beach.

I learned a lot this past year. I learned that I’m much more capable than I give myself credit for. I learned that if you quit participating in unnecessary drama, it goes away. I learned that good friends are hard to come by. And that I’ve got the best ones in my life. I came into a quiet yet unshakable confidence this past year and it feels good. I almost feel like my brain kicked back in after years of substance abuse. My thinking became clearer and I felt more grounded in reality than in previous years.

So here, in no specific order, are photos from 2011. The people in them are the ones that I am the closest to and that make up a large part of my life. I would not be who I am today if it weren’t for all the amazing people in my life.

2011, you were grand. Thanks for the memories!
