Whew! What a crazy year this has been. It was so much fun to go on a little trip through memory lane to write this post! I can’t believe how much has changed and how much I did in a year! My final 2010 takeaways:
- I have a pretty sweet life
- I travel a LOT
- I got really good at studying and doing homework on planes
I hope you all enjoyed this trip down memory lane as much as I did! Was this a big year for you, too? Why?
Love this post! How will you ever top 2010?? I have no doubt that you will find a way. I hope I get to see you as much or more in 2011 as I did in 2010, I was so lucky!!!
I hope so, too
xo p.s. Did you get my voicemail yesterday?
And, an awesome second part of the year. Damn, girl, you’re amazing.
Wow, you went to an amazing amount of weddings! What a year!
2010 was pretty great for me and a lot of it stemmed from starting my blog!
btw, are you attending FitBloggin’?
I was debating about it… need to see because of $$, travel, etc. Are you?
Great recap! Your 2010 seemed AMAZING.
I really enjoyed reading this recap! Sounds like you had an amazing year. Were you always this adventurous?
Yes
My family moved a lot so I was used to doing lots of traveling!
Wonderful post, you have a charmed life indeed.
I love every year and I especially loved this Thanksgiving. My prayers were answered when my 2 of my 3 sons, who are all 3 are in the Navy, were able to come home and see their parents for a couple of days. First time I have seen them in 4 years. I am very thankful.
Awesome post!
You do travel a lot. I am super jealous
I adore traveling!
You seriously had one rocking year!
Wow! What a fun year you’ve had
You’ve done so much traveling.
Wow, that’s a lot of stuff you did and it’s only for 6 months.
I really admire how you balance your school, your health, family/friends time and traveling/fun time.
I love seeing travel pictures so keep them coming. I can’t wait to see your Italy pictures.
I’m sad to say that I might have to re-schedule the Italy trip (for my honeymoon) and stay closer to home and go somewhere tropical instead.
2010 has been so epic and fun! I am glad I got to meet you this year!
What a great year for you!!! I can’t wait to read all about 2011!!!
P.S- I’m looking into UNC Chapel Hill for grad school!!! By reading your blog and what I have found on their site, the nutrition program looks GREAT!
An epic year, indeed, Anne. Thanks for sharing it all with us. And here’s to an even greater year in 2011! Good luck!
I can’t believe how much you’ve traveled! So jealous! You’re my hero!
You have a wonderful life. I’m very jealous but you deserve every bit of it!
WHOA, you had a seriously epic 2010!
…and the photobooth shots of us is pretty amazing, haha
Love it!!!
