I think this post was easily one of my favorite posts to put together. Last year, I put together a 2010 Review post and I had such a blast doing it that I figured I’d do it again this year.
2011 was a VERY busy year for me; lots of traveling, lots of celebrating, some personal struggles, and some major life changes. Here’s a look back at a month-by-month review of some of some of my major highlights in 2011!

2011 was definitely a fantastic year…but I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be even better. Who’s with me?!?
