Bye Bye 2011...Hello 2012!

Hola everyone. 2011 was, in short, a good year. I had tons of fun despite all the not-fun moments. When I try to reflect on this past year, all I can really think about is love, friends and family. I feel hope for humanity and believe in the newfound glory of the world. There were key moments for our whole country and our world, in general, and you all know what those are, but regarding my own personal life--2011 has been good to me. I hope 2012 will be better--especially because I'm a Rooster and 2012 is supposedly lucky for us. :)

Next year, Jen and I will continue to BEWTY it up and most likely BEDApril and BEDAugust. However, we do have some special plans for when the two of us go to college. Yeah, that's right, get excited.

2012 will be an incredibly new and fun year that we can't wait to experience and share with you. 


As always, Don't Forget To Be Awesome.
