2011 was a year to remember.
Here are just a few of my memories:
T on one knee. Cycling on the Northern California coast. Heartbreaking natural disasters. Ring shopping and wedding planning. Growing out my hair (again). The horrible shooting of Gabrielle Giffords and other innocent victims. Visiting Tucson. The pre-Thanksgiving three hour commute (gah!). Earning a master's degree one. class. at. a. time. Little brother tied the knot. Car payed off. Grandma's 88th birthday party. Heather's island wedding. Not a single inpatient shift! Bon Iver at The Shrine. First trip to Canada. Design love. Feeling at home in my little community. Weekend getaways. Sisterly phone chats on my evening commute. Having parents I want to cherish forever. Book club. Friends engaged or pregnant. 9/11 ten year anniversary. Coworkers still mispronounce my name. T's sweet family. Lazy Saturday morning brunches. Learning to road cycle. Feeling happy every day (minus maybe one or two). A relationship that never feels like work.
