So my year was so, so, SO great! I learned so much about myself, and made so many amazing memories. I spent more hours exercising this year than I have in my entire life combined. I ate lots and lots of fruits, veggies, and wheat things. I went on more dates than I have in my entire life combined. It’s interesting how when I actually am in love with myself, other people start to love me too. I am forever grateful for my dear family. They are truly all my best friends. I also made many lifelong new friends who have blessed my life in so many ways that I can’t even count them. I feel overwhelmed with all the blessings that I have been given. I am so anxious to jump into 2011 and make it just as awesome as 2010 was! Now it just needs to stop being winter so I can go hiking and camping!!
And here are just a few before and after pictures:
