2011- Who Know's When?

Time again for my look back at 2011 and give you my favorites! Yay!

Favorite Song:



Its a toss up between Crossfire and Only the Young by Brandon Flowers. I am OBSESSED with these two songs right now! LOVE IT!

honorable mention:
Stereo Hearts by Gym Class Heroes
Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 (oddly those two songs both have Adam Levine singing, huh.)


Favorite Movie:


Kung Fu Panda 2 (I really loved this movie!)

honorable mention:
Thor
Sherlock Holmes 2 (I haven't seen this but I KNOW I would love it! Mmmmhmmm)
Harry Potter--so epic!
Tangled


Favorite TV Show:


The Vampire Dairies

I am obsessed with this show and can't wait for it to start again in January! Whoo!

honorable mention:
Any of the Real Housewives of course ;)
The Rachel Zoe Project
Project Runway


Favorite Book:


I Capture The Castle
I read over 60 books this year, its hard to choose a favorite!
There were a couple series I loved, Gregor the Overlander and Inheritance (which is the Eragon series), I really enjoyed those!

honorable mention:
My blog friend Melanie wrote The List and I honest to goodness LOVED it, it was hysterical, seriously had me laughing out loud and grinning stupidly. It was a fast, light read and I so enjoyed every minute. The ending was fabulous!

Favorite Vacation:
We honestly didn't take ANY trips this year. Not even a camping trip. What a lame year. My husband did take many trips to Washington DC for work and he spent a month in Korea, so lucky for him. :/

Favorite Outfit:
I'm changing this from clothes I own to ones I want ;) I discovered Pinterest this year, so there is a lot to be inspired and want from off there! haha





Yes, I realize these don't really have anything to do with 2011, except that I spent a lot of time coveting these outfits. If I had the money, I would have dressed like this in 2011. ;)


Favorite Project:



(this isn't mine, same idea but picture it in a mustardy yellow)

It would be my favorite project if I could get it to work, but I redid a coffee table into a tufted bench. Except that I've redone the top twice and need to again since Kimball's pulled half the buttons off. This time when I re-do it, it will be PERFECT! :)

Most drastic change:


I cut my hair short again, and dyed it bright red!



Highlights:
Bethany was baptized!

Kimball turned one


new family pictures


fun summer and fall










Peter Pan themed Halloween:



Maddie started kindergarden (Bethany 3rd grade)



Fun 30th birthday for my sister




Kimball started nursery!


Lowlights:
my computer crashed and I lost a LOT of pictures :(

Dave was gone for a month in Korea, that was hard :(


Definitely this was a good year, much improved from the year before, I like the thought of every year getting a little better. We grow a little more, we become a little more patient, a little more loving, a little...more. Here's hoping we can take 2012 and make it what we want it to be!

  1. that was a good list.
    I don't think Barbara Walters could have done much better for her TAKE of what 2011 held.
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE you hair short and sassy red.
    I was just looking at ya, and YOU DO look very much like a neice of mine.
    You would look great in all those cloths. I too have been spending (wasting) a lot of time with pinterest. The cloths are amazing.
    I don't know if they would translate themselves to my body and my old age though.
    Let's hope together for a good year !!! we might just make it work.
