This has been one amazing and incredible year! I’m a little sad 2010 is ending but I am ridiculously excited for 2011. There are so many great things ahead..like getting married!
Here are my top ten highlights from 2010 in order by month:
Last December 31/January 1st Matthew and I rang in the new year together for the first time!

We also went to New York City which was so fun! We ate so much great food and explored the city.

Oh, 2010, thank you for being so good to me! I think I included more than 10 things but it was hard to narrow them down. I can’t wait for what lies ahead in 2011!!
Tonight we are ringing in the new year with some close friends.
It’s going to be pretty laid back, but perfect!
Happy New Years Eve everyone!!
Thank you all for being such a wonderful part of my year!
