Wow! 2011 was a absolutely incredible year.  “Every month brought a wave of change and through the change, a challenge to grab ahold of the opportunity to grow.” This was a quote from a favorite blogger of mine, Jamie Delaine. And the same rings true for my year in 2011. Not only did I marry my very best friend, but I also started a new job as the missions coordinator at my church and my photography career hit the ground running! I really learned a lot about myself, who God created me to be and how I could be best used to further His Kingdom.

2011 came with many new discoveries, new memories and new accomplishments!

Mike and I saw 1 more ballpark this year (Nationals Park).
We saw the Red Sox play in the ‘burgh.
We saw Taylor Swift in concert (and yes, Mike and I were screaming the whole time).
We became Pitt football season ticket holders.
I discovered Pinterest and Hobby Lobby.
And, I got my very own treadmill!

2012 has a lot in store already! I have lots of dreams, goals, and plans that I am looking forward to see come to life this year!

Get back into running…on my new treadmill!
Visit 3-4 more ballparks (New York and California, here we come)!
Go back to Kenya with Mike.
Become an official business entity (we are actually doing that this week…hooray)!
Take Mike skiing for the first time.
Go to a photography convention/expo in Cincy with my wedding photographer!
Learn, read and grow more as a photographer!
Try something new…perhaps knitting?
Make much use of Pinterest, trying new recipes and making more crafts.
Become awesome at Dance Central 2 on our new Kinect!
We have a lot of weddings to look forward to and many more stories to tell and friends to make!

Thank you all so much for you love and support throughout 2011! Looking forward to another great year in 2012!
