There were so many highlights in 2011. I'm a highly visual person so when I think back on the year, all I see is a mosaic of pictures. So what better way to present my 2011 highlights than through Picasa's photo collages!
I went to some of the most amazing places to eat in 2011. My tastebuds went to heaven and back, many many times. Almost half the photos I took in 2011 were of food. Here were some of my favourites.
As most of you know, I love making things, but time was the most finite resource for me in 2011. Fortunately, I was still able to finish a few creative projects. Most notably, my crystal wedding shoes... haha.
Back when MP and I were sixteen, we jokingly painted a dream of what our future together would look like "when we grow up." Realistically, neither of us really thought it would come true as at that age, we doubted our relationship would last 12 weeks, let alone 12 years. But suffice to say, in 2011, our childhood dream came true. It was the first year MP and I moved in together, setting up home in our little apartment... getting married was just the cherry on top.
2011 was a year of many tumultuous changes at work but alas, I think I've finally reconciled the battles in my head. I'm in a good head space and 2012 is shaping up to be a great year with many exciting projects in the pipeline. Career wise, I have never aspired to any particular rank or title. I've always written in the annual performance reviews that I wanted to grow to a "position of influence". I finally think I'm there.
There were definitely sad moments in 2011. We lost Autie Sue which was sudden, shocking and devastating. It served as a gentle reminder of how short life can be, and that every breath I take, someone else in the world is fighting for theirs.
All in all, 2011 was an amazing year and I learned many lessons. My big motto for 2012?
Make every moment count.
