hello friends,
since 2011 is just around the corner we were thinking of everything that we did, we learned, we ate, we traveled, we workout to. though 2011 was a great year we are hoping that 2012 is even better.
there are a few moments that stand out to us when thinking about 2011. maybe you remember seeing some here on the blog once before and maybe they are new to you. either way we hope you enjoy our little reflection.
completed our 4th half marathon back in January, and it was one of our better races.
fell in love obsessed with small spoons
bought some Contigo water bottles and our life was changed forever
discovered we had yeast overgrowth issues and did a candida cleanse
created our own sandbags and our workouts have never been the same
Michelle moved into a new place
our parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary with us
had a family vacation down at the Florida Keys
we finally got ourselves Vibram 5 Fingers and love them!
had a wonderful donut party because you know we love our donuts.
gave updates on where we stand with our hormones and our health plus did an elimination diet and got some success.
made some super yummy desserts over the year but this one stood out to us because it combines many of our favorites
Michelle got to meet the lovely Heather
pulled off an amazing surprise to our dad which still to this day we are not sure how we all pulled it off
joined Pinterest and again our life will never be the same
shared our ways of using apple cider vinegar for the skin
Gary and Lori hosted their first holiday Christmas party
had major issues with our google reader and RSS feed which is now hopefully all better
Michelle went to Las Vegas for her first time
probably the biggest moment over 2011 was Lori getting engaged
and then both of us turning 28
well that was our year in a nutshell. not sure of what 2012 will bring but we are excited and promise to keep working hard to make a difference.
we know this question has been all over the blog world but we still would like to know. what stood out to you in 2011? or what you looking forward to in 2012?
till next time,
xoxo

You two have had quite the adventurous year! I am so ready for 2012. I know this will be a great year. I’m ready for change. I am going to make this my year for sure. I hope you both have an incredible 2012!

thanks Sarena cheers for all of us having a great 2012!
you had quite an active year!! well i’ll be re-reading some of your hormonal posts. i finished my birth control pack last week and today is the first day of a new pack that i did not refill! so here’s hoping things don’t get too crazy, but i’m prepared to go like a year without getting a period since i tried a couple years ago to quit the pill and gave up after 6 months and no show. i need to be more patient with myself for 2012 so here’s to the start of that! so many things happened to me this year as well, a move to the city after being 4 hours away for the last 5 years, 2 new jobs, nate getting a new job as well. it’s been a ton of change! in 2012, i am most excited about our trip to prague and then paris (to visit my bro-in-law) in may!
