This is my farewell to you, 2011!

Another year has come and gone.  2011 has definitely brought some really great times.  And with all good things, comes some not so great things... This is my farewell to you, 2011!

January 2011 was a great way to start the year!  I started 2011 as a Barthel and I am ending it as a Ford!  I married the love of my life, my best friend, Nathan, January 15, 2011 at 4:30 pm.  It was the BEST day of 2011!
 
Following the wedding was a great reception, and of course a relaxing honeymoon in fabulous Las Vegas, NV!  Also, a trip to the Grand Canyon was in order!

After returning to real life once again, in April 2011, I was able to move my office HOME!  That’s rights.  I work from the comfort of my own home.  What a HUGE gas saver that was for me! 

But as I said before, with all the good, comes the bad.  In June 2011, I mourned the loss of my father.  After a long battle with prostate cancer, the cancer finally won.

On a happier note, in July 2011, we threw a HUGE 4th of July weekend party on the lake.  Swimming, fishing, drinking, and more.  Nathan had a PROFESSIONAL firework show to end the weekend!

In September 2011, I celebrated my 21st birthday for the 8th time! :)

In December 2011, me and my husband celebrated our 1st Christmas together as husband and wife.  I also SUPER SURPRISED him with a 2007 Gibson SG guitar!

And in 1 day, we will be celebrating our 1st new years together as husband and wife!

For 2012, I hope to have a great 1st year anniversary with my husband.  I want to get into shape. (a good looking shape preferably)  I want to go to Disneyworld! (HINT*HINT*) But most of all, I just want life to be happy in the upcoming year, no matter what it brings!

Cheers to the New Year!!!     2012
