I am not going to be able to do any blogging for the next couple of days, so I thought I would do my year end post today at work. It's maintenance week here, and I don't have anything better to do! Warning: Lots of pictures ahead. :)
So here is a list of the main things that I did during this year (in mostly chronological order):
- I bought a house. (and emptied my savings account...)
- Went to Oaklawn twice. pretty sure I didn't win, but the point is to have fun right? See the man in the purple had and fur coat that Lyndsey is pointing at? I think he looks like Flava Flav. haha. The people watching there is the best.
- Went to Guadalajara for 9 days with the IBUS class. Got sick in Mexico- who hasn't?? This picture is of me and a giant agave plant, which is used to make tequila. This was my favorite field trip. After this, we went to the Jose Cuervo plant. It was awesome.
- Joined jasmere- which I love and I am a "SuperFan."
- Baby brother was born.
- Went to a few Travelers baseball games. Got several sunburns. :)
- Went to 2 Razorback football games. Woo pig! Wish I was going to the Sugar Bowl to cheer them on!
- Donated my hair for the 3rd time. This is an after pic. See how long it is in the Mexico picture??
- Went to the Greek Food Festival. Bought more cookies and baklava than I should have.
- Liza and Lisa threw me a house warming party.
- Went to Elizabeth and Adam's wedding. This is me and Desi at the wedding. p.s. It was hot!!
- Went to Memphis with some friends.
- Went to the Lake of the Ozarks with the family.
- Started volunteering with Stone Soup.
- Started doing the EDGE for the 5th and 6th graders on Wednesday nights at church. Here we are playing a game.

- Went to Kansas City and stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge.
- Had an overhead light put in my living room. yay! we can finally see!
- Went to Laura and Hal's wedding.

- Hosted the Sunday School class Halloween Party at my house. Here we have a nerd, Little Red Riding Hood, and a pirate.
- Went to Branson with some of the girls.

- Went to that dreaded speed mixer.
- Went to the Christmas Frolic at the Historic Arkansas Museum.
- Attended my first ever ugly sweater party.

That's my year in review. I am looking forward to the good things to come in 2011!
Seems like quite the year. Thanks for putting me on your blogroll, too!
ReplyDeleteI must say that when I read about the baklava, my mouth watered. There's a diner near where I work that serves baklava cheesecake. Holy cow-- it's good. :-)
Wasn't Wicked awesome??
Happy New Year!
