thanks for the fun, 2011!

oh 2011, have you really come and gone already?  i'll miss you, but i won't forget my favorite memories that you've brought:

the philly flower show this past february.  tulips...everywhere!

the attempt to catch a sunrise in lbi.  it turned out to be too hazy, but it was still a lot of fun (minus rob practically using a crow bar to get me out of bed.)

our boston adventure (it was rob's first visit!)...

surprising rob with a trip to nyc to see our good friend, mr. stoudemire...

and his first submission to an art show.

lazy days at the beach and visiting my favorite president, george washington...

having cake, and eating it, too.

venturing out in a monsoon, spending time at the shore with good friends, watching my sister graduate from her pediatric dental residency........then seeing her get ENGAGED!

visiting the museum of natural science and buying a uklelele for my grandfather's 88th birthday (seriously, that's what he told us he wanted.)

finding a new place to live on the hottest day of summer, almost having a retro floor, finally moving into a lovely little apartment...

...and making it our home.

starting physical therapy school and finding treasures out of someone else's trash...



saying goodbye to old friends,

and sharing happiest moments with best ones.

going apple picking, watching thunderstorms from our balcony, hosting an ugly sweater party, and making homemade pizza on fridays...and saturdays...(and maybe sundays)...

but most of all, spending it all with my favorite guy.

have the happiest new year! 
see you in 2012!
