year in review

Read the entire Harry Potter series for the first time (yes, that deserves to be first!)
Took over the school with Brittany
Had the best Winter day ever
Strolled along Quidi Vidi with Tony
Spent Valentine's Day with some lovelies
Finally let go of a rollercoaster relationship
Had a time at the SASF Paris Ball - some of the decorating crew priming with some Mickey D's haha
Sister survived a car accident without a scratch
Two cuties got married
I quit my job and moved home for the summer
Had many fun sister roadtrips.
Started sketching again 
We lived long and prospered
A fun Canada Day in PDG
My favourite family picture to date taken at my cousin's wedding
Early morning fishing trips//whales!
Volunteered at VBS at church
Hey Rosetta concert with a few pals
Girls nights
Spent four months living "the Disney dream"
Had amazing roomies- Jenni from Canada and then Melanie from England
Travelled more than I have in my entire life: 
Canada: (Vancouver, Victoria); 
USA: Alaska (Skagway, Ketchikan, Tracy's Arm, Juneau), California: (LA, San Pedro); 
Mexico: (Puerta Vallarta, Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada)
Experienced 'dry dock'
Crossed jetskiing, ziplining and parasailing off my bucket list
Danced like a pirate with friends from around the globe
My sister got engaged!
Came home in time for Christmas
Got to spend a day with Robz while she was back in town
Rang in the New Year with these lovely folks!

I have mixed feelings about 2011. I debated whether or not I even wanted to do this but in looking back, despite the constant shadow of the bad, I can see that there was a lot of goodness to be found as well. The second half of the year certainly redeemed the first and I am so very thankful for that. I am incredibly grateful for the friendships that helped me through it. I said goodbye to certain dreams but now have a more exciting future set for myself than I'd had at the start of 2011. As painful as it was, in many ways I am relieved; 
I've learned that I am strong. I look forward to more happiness in 2012!
