2011 in Pictures

In what has become a regular thing for me, it's time to look back at 2011 in pictures!!  And I got it in just before the deadline! :)  While 2011 hasn't been my best year, there were certainly some fun times!  I spent a lot of 2011 rehabbing my knee, which culminated in me walking a half marathon in September.  Wow!  To be perfectly honest, I'm not sorry to see 2011 go.  And here's to a fantastic 2012!!

2009 in Pictures

Here we are at the end of another year! Where the time goes, I'm not sure. Anyway it must be time for a pictorial review of the past year.

But before I get to the pictures, I need to make a complaint. It isn't even New Years Day and already Starbucks is out of eggnog lattes! Or at least the few I visited are. And this is why you can start drinking eggnog lattes before Thanksgiving - because before you know it, eggnog lattes are over and you are still wishing for one more.

And now on to the pictures!

1. January - My first visit to what has become my new favorite store, Laura Bee Designs
