2011: A Year in Review

At the end of last year, I said that 2011 was going to be the best year yet and I was right about that! Todd & I finally moved in together and got married, honeymooned in St. Lucia, attended some of our really good friends weddings, and I ran several races. It's hard to believe this year is over but I'm excited to see what 2012 brings as we continue our first year as newlyweds.

Now a look back at 2011....
