And visiting LOLBoyfriend.

I’m going to miss this SO MUCH when I have to go back to New York.

We also have lots of wine and champagne and beer. GONGETDRUNKKKK (and watch Star Wars and snuggle, probably).

It is for every day.

Scrolling through the dash there are so many new year posts about 2011 being a struggle for so many. I hate that! 2011 was an incredible, life changing year for me and I wish that was the case for everyone!

I wasn’t going to make a post like this because the mark of changing year seems so arbitrary to me. But too bad, here we go.

2010 ended terribly. Ry and I were in a rough place where we had to decide to either end things or be in it for the long haul. I spent New Years in Binghamton with him and spent the first week of January with some sort of horrifying flu in his apartment. At the end of January I left for a semester abroad in Utrecht, Netherlands where I was able to travel continental Europe for six months and meet some of the most incredible people that I’m lucky to have in my life. At the end of my term my cousin Stephanie came and stayed with me in the Netherlands and we spent a week and half traveling together in Spain, followed by a week in Ireland with Ryan. I went home and spent a week with Ry and my family, and then some time in Binghamton in my new apartment with Ry before he left for his job training in San Francisco. I spent the rest of the summer in Binghamton, at my museum internships and seeing some school friends I’d missed. This semester had its ups and downs but I got my highest GPA ever, had some crazy nights with my Shmoosh, got close with the girls downstairs, got to visit Ry in SF, and got the best Halloween surprise of all time when Ry visited. Then Christmas with my amazing family and now I’m in Newport Beach for the whole month with Ry. 2011 was a fantastic year for me, and I can only hope 2012 will be as fulfilling.
