Just when I thought 2010 was going to be the year to beat...

2011, you surprised me. Wow. I've done so much this year, it's incredible. I'm not going to lie, I didn't think anything could top 2010. Let's face it, in 2010 I graduated from High School, went on my senior class trip, went to Nashville, traveled across the country to Colorado, went to Taylor Swift's 13 hour meet and greet, went to Jess's wedding, met Chris Young, got a new car, and started college.

HOWEVER.. I've done so many awesome things in 2011 too! To be honest, whenever the clock struck midnight last new years and it was officially 2011, I was super sad that 2010 was over. I really didn't have high expectations for the upcoming year at all. But, I've had so much fun this year. Let's recap.
