2011 in Review

You could never possibly recount everything that had happened in a year's time. However, with a bright, shiny new year ahead of me... I am feeling nostalgic about what transpired in 2011. Not to be worried, I narrowed it down to one to two significant events per month.

January: Mike began complaining of sudden "heartburn" and discomfort in his chest.
February: Megan goes with Starkey to fit hearing aids on children and adults in Mexico. Mike is hospitalized for a few days under the presumption of "bowel obstruction".
March: After many doctors and specialists, the bowel obstruction turned out to be some other mystery entirely... 8-10" of Mike's bowel are removed without doctors really knowing what made them abnormal.
**No pictures because Mike refused to let me take any of him in the hospital. I got one video while he was coming out of anesthesia but as mentioned in a previous post... I have vowed not to post it**
April: Mike and I celebrate 1 yr of being homeowners by re-doing our front yard and planting trees.
May: I (finally) graduate with my Au.D. Mike and I celebrate and take a trip to the condo in Florida!
June: Mike finds out he passed the CPA exams!! All 4 on his first try! He's an official CPA.
July: We bask in the awesomeness that is the annual Mansfield 24th of July campout
August: Mike bought me a new car-- a crossover preparing us for family days in the future. Mike plays in corporate games. Marisa and I have our first garage sale-- a raging success.
September: We go on a Lake Powell trip with my bosses and their friends for a week. An entire week of boating, sun and games!! I celebrate my 25th birthday and Mike's 27th birthday!
October: We went up to Scofield cabin with the Dyes and Jonny. Mike competed in a volleyball tournament (not pictured).
November: Brittany and I road trip to Las Vegas for a girl's trip!
December: Mike and I celebrate our 4 year anniversary by staying at the Marriott at City Center, shopping at Gateway and eating delicious food.

2011 had it's ups and downs (as most years do). Mike and I are looking anxiously toward 2012 with hope, goals and ambition to make it the best year yet.
