New Year, New Perspectives

As 2011 comes to an end, I love to go back through my photos and take a mental "snapshot" of the year.

My friend from Hawaii posted a good quote recently about pictures, saying that,"You never see the hard times in a photograph, but that's what gets you from one happy snapshot to the next."

Sure life has it's ups and downs, but being that New Year's Eve is fast approaching, a little rosy retrospection never hurt anyone! Let's take a little snapshot review of my past year:


January 2011
I spent my 20th Birthday with friends and family for a dinner at Pasta Connection.
I got to visit with my high school friend B*Sto for the first time in a long while!

February 2011
My stepmom and I pose for a picture on Valentine's day as our oldest dog, Shad watches.
DJ Dave (from the Branding Iron) and myself.
 March 2011
I went camping at the Joshua Tree National Park.
I ate at a fondue restaurant for the very first time!

April 2011
I sat in line for over an hour to ride DCA's newest ride: Ariel's Adventure.
I enjoyed the few weeks that Country Thursdays took place at the Carnaval Club.

May 2011
I got to meet Lee Brice at Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown Concert.
I bought my first pair of Rainbow sandals on my way to San Diego.

When I wasn't working like a mad-woman, I went antique window-shopping at the Circle.

July 2011
Enjoyed Fourth of July with my family and some friends out on the porch of my mom's house.
I went on a mini-vaca with my Dad to La Jolla, CA. We visited the aquarium there.

Found a hair stylist that I trust in Texas (for me this is important!).
Had my first hospital visit in Texas.

October 2011
Went to my first wedding in Texas.
Painfully (but proudly) walked through a haunted mansion maze.
Carved pumpkins with my roomie!

November 2011

I worked on my photography quite a bit this past semester.

December 2011
Found photographic pleasure in the most simple things.
Hosted a cocktail party to catch up with old friends!
Saw B*Sto for the first time in a year!


I'm so thankful and happy for all the things/events I was able to experience this past year. I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for me!

What were some of your favorite moments of 2011? What do you wish you could've accomplished that you didn't get around to doing?

XOXO,
