A resolution in review

Almost a year ago, I decided to make New Year’s resolutions fun, instead of using them as an opportunity to be critical of myself.

It’s been an amazing year. I might not have mastered a second language or lost 50 pounds, but I spent some of the best quality time with friends a girl could imagine.

In 2011, I attended over 25 live events. (A full schedule is listed to the right) These ranged from country music concerts to plays, comedians and dancing with my friends at a piano bar. I also threw in a few Panthers games and, of course, some racing pigs. I traveled as far as Roanoke, Virginia for an event. I was lucky enough to have 17 friends to attend events with and two family members.

There are so many things that I have learned from my experiences, most of which are hard to put into words. I learned to relax and have fun. Sometimes, I even let myself dance. I realized that I have a diverse group of friends that are up for almost any kind of event I could throw their way. I came to know the value of a Groupon.

Earlier in the year, I was feeling a little down and alone. A good friend reminded me that is never the case and this year has proven it. Every month, not only have I had an awesome event to look forward to, I’ve had amazing friends with me for every one.

Thank you to everyone who helped make my resolution a success in 2011, from reading my blog to opening your wallets and attending events with me. I’ve got another fun idea for 2012 and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Thank you to: Kelly, Misty, Michael (my brother), Gabe, Jean, Mark, Alisa, Frank, Dan, Tasha, Cheryl, Tammy, Elizabeth, Jemi, Micah, Derek, Joey and Mom.
