10 Cool Things of 2011
Yes, ladies and gentleman, it’s that time of year again… bring on the Top 10 lists! I used to get annoyed at all these lists, but I have to admit, it’s pretty cool to look back and remember the cool people, events and what was important to you in year’s past like 2008, 2009 and 2010.
While it may have started out a little rocky (like quitting my job without a new one in sight), 2011 ended as an unbelievable year. And, certainly one of my favorite. As I looked around the last few days of 2011, I read and heard a lot of people say, “Thank goodness this year is over, it [insert depressing/sucky word here].” This year, I disagreed with them all. 2011 is one year I’ll look back on with a HUGE grin on my face.
Without further adieu, here’s the Top 10 of one of my very favorite years:
- Backpacked across Europe in heels
- For the first time, I let a guy sleep over at my place
- Experienced two of my best friends becoming engaged!
- Got a new job. Again
- With the new gig, I road tripped back to the East Coast. These days, Columbus, Ohio is “home”
- I ran my very first half marathon
- Became an “Aunt” for the very first time
- Many a great lesson and experiences were had (including Skydiving!)
- I traveled like a mad woman – 7 countries, 48 cities and 197 days on the road
- I learned the meaning of true friends
