Miss Magic All Grown Up: 2011: Year in Review by Photo

January

Ended 2010 / began 2011 with Joel, my brother, sister-in-law, and friends. We brought in the new year with bagpipes, fireworks, and an "Irish Kiss."

Attended my very first Skins game (v. Giants .. final game of the season).

Celebrated a quiet birthday with dinner and cake at Joel's house.

Got a new tattoo!

February

Mostly revolved around gallbladder surgery and recovery. With a lot of love around me.

March

Ended my lease.

April

For the very first time, went to --and got engaged in -- VEGAS, baby!

May

Moved out of my apartment in into our home with Joel.

Toasted and celebrated our engagement with school colleagues.

Attended Tiffany and Erik's lovely outdoor wedding.

A visit from Ted and Dana from GA (and met my "nephew" just in time to celebrate his 1st birthday!) and Alie.

June

Short beach vacay to search for a wedding venue. Despite the one wrench in our plans, it was a great success!

My favorite pictures of us ever, waiting at a sound-front restaurant for dinner.

July

Bathroom paint job -- thanks for your help, Alie!

Our first concert together -- Tim McGraw in VA Beach.

August

Joel went to Scotland with the International Children's Games and took advantage of the time to create a surprise bedroom redesign.

First real beach trip as an adult (aka, rental house with brother and friends, paying our own way, no help from mama and daddy). It included some sweet wedding planning, lots of hot tub time, and of course, a fabulous seafood feast dinner.

September

Back to school ...

Opening game of the 2011 season.

Nerd alert -- cheesin' about the completion of my 365 photo project.

October

Engagement pictures with the fabulous Sarah and Matt Stanton.

First trip back to campus since graduating -- and first game in the newly renovated stadium.

Showered with love from true friends during a rough time.

Spending time with bridesmaids and picking out dresses!

November

Joel and team representatives waiting to receive his trophy for SCMS' soccer team for going undefeated in the regular season and becoming the 2011 season champions.
