2012: You need to bring your A-game

Because 2011 knocked it out of the park for me. So much fun was had this year! But here were the best of the best moments for me:

• Going snowtubing in Blowing Rock, NC. (and visiting again for Thanksgiving except no snow - so we did wine tastings!)

• A trip to Charleston for my birthday in the Spring with some of my besties.

• NKOTB concert in the ATL! Have been wanting to see these guys ever since they first announced they were touring again and it finally happened. WINNING!

• My Gamecocks winning the National Championship in college baseball - AGAIN. Also, the football team having our first ever 11 win season. It was an awesome season despite a lot of setbacks. Our football team took on the motto of our baseball team: WIN ANYWAY.

• My first PR on a 5K!

• Cruising to Mexico. Hope to do this again next year. Amazing!

• Running my first ever half marathon. Still can't believe I did that. And that I'm doing it again in March. Insanity.

• Meeting Teresa Guidice from the Real Housewives of New Jersey. What a fun night! I'm really enjoying experimenting with her recipes.

• A trip to Orlando, Florida - twice! The second time we saw Breaking Dawn on premiere night. So.Much.Fun. What can we say, we love it there.

• And last...but mostly definitely not least...my trip to NYC. I love that city so much and can't wait to go back. There are rumors of a return visit in the Spring :) We'll see...(crossing fingers)

2011 thanks for being awesome. 2012, you have big shoes to fill. Let's do this!

 Happy New Year everyone!
