    Fun! =]

    Most life changing event(s) of your life in 2011?  Nothing earth shattering - but I started a 2nd job, we bought our first home, and welcomed our first niece!

    Best book(s) you read in 2011?  Well, I read 55 this year...I would say that my favorites were the Game of Thrones series and the Kingkiller Chronicle series

    Favorite movie you saw in 2011?  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2...definitely ended a 12 year journey waiting on all the books and movies to come out, kind of sad that it is all over!

    Favorite show you watched in 2011?  The League, Breaking Bad, and Walking Dead were 3 new ones I liked

    Best concert or play you saw in 2011?  Didn't see any of either...

    Any vacations you took in 2011?  We went to Vegas in August for the first time, it was fantastic!

    Any AWs from 2011?  ??  Not sure what this is asking.

    What are your goals for 2012? Get married? :)  Probably do some more landscaping & decorating of our house.  I'm not a big "goal" person I guess, I'm more of a "think of it and then just do it" kind of person!
