"So This Is The New Year"

I love the end of the year. It is one of the best times to look back and reflect on what has happened in one's life in the previous 12 months. I can't believe it has already been almost a year since I have been home again. Let me just tell you a little about 2011. I went to my first set of playoff games for the OKC Thunder and fell in love with basketball. My oldest sister tied the knot. I stumbled upon a job that has led me to pursuing a career one of which I am not quite sure of. I have started back to college after 4 years of being out of high school. I moved into my very own apartment all by myself for a solid 6 months. I ran my first 5k. I climbed Mt. Scott. I intentionally spent the vast majority of the year single, as I have learned it is better to be alone and happy rather than together and miserable. I have become comfortable in my own skin. 2011 has been a year of complete transition for me, though I would like to say in 2012 I will have it all figured out I fear that will not be the case. Life is always transitional, this is also what I have learned this year. One thing you can always count on consistently is change. Change is oh so inevitable, but it is how one reacts to change that defines a person. Things change, though I can't tell you where my life is going I am positive about my future. 2011 was a beautiful mess of a year and part of me is a bit sad to see it leave. Another part of me is so pumped for 2012....Lets see what firsts are in store next year! Here is my year 2011 in picture form
