There's a lot to talk about that happened in 2011, so I figured I'd get it out there one last time, so that I can put the past in the past and focus on the new!
In...
January...
Trevor's two sweet precious cousins were born!! They are adorable! And I'm sad that they moved away. :'(
February...
we had our first big snow!!!
I love the snow!!! Trevor and I had the day off because of the snow and we spent the day goofing off. Staying warm, well except for when we were out playing in it! I remember we were goofing off on the 4 wheeler and it tipped over!! I hit my face! But I still love that snow!!
March...
was apparently the month of concerts.
My cousins and sister attended the Lady GaGa concert in Dallas and it was an awesome concert!! Love me some GaGa.
Here is where you probably realize what the heck?! One week after GaGa, Trevor and I attended a Gary Alan concert! Ha, GaGa to Gary Alan! Major change! But I still love me some Gary!!
April...
didn't bring much rain but it brought flowers before May did!
Not much happened in April...that I can think of or have any pictures to prove of anything happening.
However, we did get a gorgeous flower bed! :)
Oh and of course Easter, which I went home for.
May...
we took one of our many mini vacations to Houston. We stayed with some friends, attended an Astros game, went to Kemah's boardwalk and had dinner by the water!
June...
well, do I need to even tell you? Duh! My ((and my sister's)) birthday!!! The big 22! Man, am I getting old. Now I'm 22 AND A HALF! *sigh*
We also spent the entire day on the lake for Floatilla! It's always a fun time! Nick and Joni even joined us this year too!!
July...
was of course 4th of July!! We spent the whole day shopping and cooking out! Our night time events of watching fireworks and popping fireworks didn't work out too well because of the rain! We eventually got to pop a few, but that was it.
August...
is when everything began to pick up.
It was Trevor's 28th birthday, Mekenna came to stay with us for a week, and then Mekenna and I met up with my family in Dallas for a little getaway. We shopped, went to Six Flags, and stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge! It was a great getaway! Remember just a few seconds ago when I said that I loved me some Gary Alan?? Well, I wasn't lying...because we went to see him again in August!! :)
September...
we headed back to Houston. We had to go witness our friends getting married!
It was a beautiful and fun wedding!! Can't wait to have my own!! *this is where my big wink comes in ;)*
October...
picked up majorly! It was an extremely busy month! And the month of trips!
Trevor and I headed to South Dakota! My first trip to South Dakota, although that is where Trevor is from. We went there for Pheasant season. Trevor hunted while I bummed around. His family did throw a big Barn Dance party! It was a great time!
I also went back home to Sunray to celebrate with my family, my grandparent's big 50th Anniversary!!
While I was there, they had their first snow. ;)
November...
I headed back home again for some turkey!! And my family says I never come home..Ha! Anyway, Trevor had to stay in Shreveport and work on Thanksgiving Day so he had Thanksgiving with a friend. He joined me in the town of Sunray the Saturday after Thanksgiving. There, we had Thanksgiving again, but with him and his family. He was also so kind to entertain my little sister and help put up Christmas decorations at my mom's house!
December...
is my favorite month of all!! I'm sure you all haven't forgotten how much I love Christmas time!! This was also my favorite month because my luck seemed to turn over a new leaf! I got accepted into the Rad Tech program at Northwestern in Shreveport, which brought tears to my eyes for many reasons!! ((Which by the way, I start Tuesday!)) Abby came to visit us to celebrate her 21st birthday! She wanted to do nothing but go to the boats....so that's where we went! The next night was Trevor's Company Christmas party! Always a good time! And then there was Christmas, which I went home for. Christmas came too quick this year. I never really felt like it was Christmas! Christmas day, Mekenna turned sweet 16 and we had a white Christmas!! Even better! Maryn's birthday was on the 16th and she turned 7! Next was of course New Year's, which I have already told ya'll about! But, I failed to mention that I found $100 on Friday-the 30th! I see it as good luck for 2012! ((For those of you who saw my Facebook post today, I am sure that you are confused. I found the money Friday, but chose to turn it in. No one ever claimed it, so I got to keep it and got it back today!!)) YAY!! A free $100. :) I never have that much luck!
Great things happened in 2011! And I am ready to take on 2012! I hope it's a fabulous year!!! I've had many blessings, too many to count! I have the greatest family, the bestest friends, the sweetest boyfriend, and the most precious little Lailee! I am greatly thankful for everything that happened in 2011! I ask for all of you to continue to keep my stepdad in your prayers! I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for me!
& this is life as I know it...
