Kelly's Epic Adventure Called Life: 2011

Well another year has come and gone and I can't believe how much has happened in the past year. I think I say that every year, month maybe. But this year has been packed with so much that I don't even know where to begin. I am a sucker for those year-end best-of lists- you know, like "best weddings on 2011" etc. So here is my best-of list for 2011:

Lucy! May 22, 2011. We adopted Lucy because I wanted a dog to play with and keep me company. But we got the most adorable little furry friend we could have asked for. She is my little side-kick and she is such a good little buddy.

Ironman Boise and Arizona. I knew what an Ironman was before I met Mark, but I had no idea how monumental an achievement it was before I saw it myself. The half distance in Boise was incredible in itself, but doubling the distance was nothing short of amazing. There was so much time, money, dedication and pure determination that went into this event and to be there to share it with Mark was an experience I'll never forget.

3. Colorado. We got to go to Colorado three times this year and it is always fun to go home and see my friends and family. There's so much I miss about Colorado and being back is nice.

Friends! My friends are basically amazing and lots of them came and saw me this year. I can't even explain how awesome it was knowing my friends would come from hundreds or thousands of miles to see me!
