2011 Recap

Ok so I must confess, sometimes it is really hard for me to motivate myself to keep this blog alive. Not to mention I am not even sure if anyone reads it anymore-haha! But I do love having the documentation…At the end of 2011 I was looking back at my posts from the year and it is a great way to remember all of the highlights.
However, it was a reminder that I did not do so well at keeping my resolutions for 2011. So this year I am not going to post them and we will see if that helps with my follow through!

2011 was a great year for us! As I did last year in 2010, here is a summary of all of the great things I experienced and new places I saw throughout the year:

2011 Highlights:
  • January- New Years in New Orleans!
  • February- Weekend trips to Charleston for Valentines day and ATL for Courts B-day
  • March- Matt and I went to Vegas!
  • April-I became an Aunt to my beautiful niece Grace Austen Rowland!
  • May- Turning 26 (but let’s face it, nothing too exciting about that…)
  • June- Work trip to Papagayo in Costa Rica, Kingsmore Beach Week and Loadholdt Beach Week (or weekend in our case :p) both in Charleston!
  • July- Matt and I had the best 10 day vacation ever: Amalfi Coast, Italy (Sorrento), Rome, Santorini, Greece and Athens! Totally a once in a lifetime bucket list trip that I will never forget!
  • August- OUR ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Work Trip to Italy (Florence and Rome), Chicago for Andrew and Christine’s Wedding and Jess and Adams wedding in Charlotte
  • September- I think our whole month of September was dedicated to Clemson Football!
  • October- work trip to Vegas, small college reunion for the Clemson/UNC game and Becca and Kyles wedding in Spartanburg
  • November- Charleston for Cam and Heathers Wedding
  • December- My beautiful sister in law Abigail Katherine Kern was born! Clemson Tigers won the ACC Championship and I got a new car!

We rung in the new year at Snowshoe, WV with Maggie, Neil, Becca and Kyle. We had a great time, although I discovered my skiing has not improved but has in fact only gotten worse. Nonetheless it was a fun time with great friends! Here are some pictures from our trip of us bringing in the New Year.







2012 has already started out great so far with our New Years Ski Trip and a belated Incentive Travel Solutions “Work Christmas Party” aka weekend getaway for us and a guest in Charleston! I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us!
