2011 in Review.

2011 is at an end.  I'm always a little sad that another whole year has gone by.  But, this year has been the best year I've had in a long time.  So, while I am sad to see it over, I am very excited for 2012.

Here are some of the highlights of the last six months.  (You can read all about the first six months here.)

JULY

July started off with a bang with the Casey Anthony verdict and my not-so-popular opinion.

The USA women's soccer team lost in the World Cup finals, but Derek Jeter got his 3000th hit!

I showed some twitter love and shared my "list."

And my BFF Emily turned the big 2-7.

AUGUST

I listed some of my fave things and made the convincing case for Pacey and Joey (NOT Dawson).

There was some very scientific research on kissing conducted.

And I hung out with Andy Roddick and watched some tennis.

SEPTEMBER

September was awesome because Donny came to visit me!

Fall tv premiere week had me giddy.

My first Week in Numbers post-- including some beautiful flowers.  :)

My Erin Condren planner arrived!

OCTOBER

Then, things got super crazy at work.

I decorated a pumpkin.

Flew to Dallas to visit Donny.

And went a tad crazy in the Sephora Friends and Family sale.

NOVEMBER

I made my final TV cuts for the year.  

November always means Katie's Sexiest Men list!

Carolina basketball started.

Amanda and I started planning her wedding with some mountain adventures.

And spent Thanksgiving week being thankful, spending time with family, shopping and seeing The Muppets.

DECEMBER

This month, I set out to re-name my blog to go with a re-design from Jenn!!

I spent a semi-covert weekend in Dallas with my love.

And had a very merry Christmas and birthday with my family.  :)

All in all, a pretty fantastic year, if I do say so myself!
