We had drinks (mine virgin since I was the DD for the night).
Rachel and Christina split their time between two bars to celebrate the New Year (partially) with us as well!
And Rosie's passed out gear to get everyone in the spirits to ring in the new year! I had really nice time spending the new year with some of my favorite people!
So, this is my final blog post. I have been putting it off for a couple of days because I am sad that this is it! I'm proud of myself for sticking with my blog and actually taking a posting pictures for 365 days in a row.
This past year has been a really good one. I've traveled to new places (New Orleans, Chattanooga, Mammoth Cave, Las Vegas...) and returned to old favorites (Dallas, northern Michigan, Toronto)! I've learned a lot about myself and continued to grow as a person and become more comfortable with who I am. I lived in a new place for half of the year and had the experience of ultimate independence. I fell in love with living in a city that I had always been taught from society to fear. I have grown closer to amazing friends and met new people and formed relationships that I will never forget. I became one year closer to finishing my undergrad degree and did so with honors. I've learned to fully embrace and love my life. It might not be perfect at times, but I know I am really lucky to have so much awesomeness surrounding me! 2011 was a really great year and I am really excited and looking forward to 2012! I know so many life-changing things will happen this upcoming year!
