The Way I See It...

Dear 2011,

You were a crazy year my friend. You started off the year by the side of a stressed and crazy senior college student and ended it by the side of a little less stressed, graduated and working woman. I think of everything that happened and pause and think…did that all really happen in just 365 days?! 

- Graduated

- Turned 22

- Got an AMAZING job

- Lost 35 pounds

- Loved on 4 weddings

- Sadly had to deal with a funeral too

- Watched Andrew become a greater man and work towards putting the bling in a ring.

Thanks for a good year. I learned a lot about myself, my limits, strengths and weaknesses. You were a good year but I am pretty excited to put you on a shelf.

Love,

Kansas

Dear 2012,

We’re only 3 days in and I’m already a little tired and stressed. 2011 was great so you have some big shoes to fill. Here are my goals. Be kind in helping me reach them.

- Lose another 20-30 pounds. 

- Pay off at least 1 of my large student loans

- Take my photography to the next level

- Gracefully accept that I will be 23

- Become a better girlfriend, friend, daughter, sister, and nanny

- Continue to update my wardrobe.

It doesn’t look like much to most people…but these are all kind of big deals. I’d appreciate your cooperation. 

Thanks 2012 and I look forward to working with you.
