So we are well into 2012 and I finally decided to update my blog. I was having a hard time coming back because I realized the last two posts were about two very important and special people in my life and I just didn't want to move on without them. I know that probably sounds a little silly (and it kind of is) because I know they are always in my heart and in my memories. I have finally come to terms with this and know I need to move forward and embrace all that is possible in 2012. But first, I want to reflect on The Best of 2011!!
January - My Birthday Month where the hubby and I took a day trip up the North Shore to Grand Marais, stopping for some cross country skiing and ending the evening eating some amazing pizza at Sven and Ole's
February - I skied my first Prince Haakon in Hayward, WI! It's part of the American Birkebeiner (more info here ) It's a cross country ski race. I had so much fun and can't wait to do it again, unfortunately it won't be this year, but hopefully again next year!!
March - The hubby's b-day month! We spent many hours driving to and from the cities from Duluth to find the perfect place to call home for the next couple years!
April - I started working in the cities a couple days every other week and we threw a surprise anniversary party for my parents in Lancaster! We finished April with the Med School Farewell Banquet-fun night!!!
May - I moved to the cities full time while the hubby was in Duluth - lots of travel back and forth again
June - Trip to Lancaster to celebrate Heritage Days!
July - 4th of July Wknd spent at the cabin! Official 4th of July we had a BBQ with friends and walked on Summit Ave in St Paul to see the fireworks :) Looking back, I saw lots of friends in July!! Celebrated weddings and babies! Twins Game with the Uncle too, lucky girl! I also started my new (and current) job!
August - 12th Street Campout! A time where my hubby's roomies and all our closest friends from undergrad get together and reminisce! My softball team also won the championship for summer league!
September - Got to see my godson over Labor Day :) Did a TON of canning with a close friend (yay for Xmas Presents completed!) My beautiful sister Sierra was crowned homecoming queen! We celebrated another wonderful couple's nuptials!
October - We celebrated my cousin Lea's wedding :) Sierra turned 18! We had a great Halloween Party in Bemidji!!
November - My favorite time of the year - Deer Season! (I'm sticking to highlights, so we won't discuss the sad stuff that happened as well)
December - Christmas, of course! Cookie bakings, presents, family, fun :)
Sayonara 2011 - Bring it on 2012!!
