2011 Retrospective posted
Ah, 2011. A year that was brought in while wearing tie dye tighty whities at a house party in Des Moines, and finished at a freshly painted warehouse party in Chicago.
It was quite a roller coaster year with my new job, huge culture shifts, and a long distance relationship with that amazing wife of mine.
There's sooo much to talk about, but I'm gonna try to keep this short and list style.
So, other than my new job and the move to Chicago...
I remember making a resolution to wear a lot more tie dye tighty whities and to continue to grow and get better at everything I am doing. Unfortunately I failed the first one, because I only wore those tie dye skivvies once on last New Years eve. However, I feel like I did pretty well on growth. I am learning a ton, meeting a lot of new people, trying to live healthier, and making Kari and I's relationship stronger than ever before. All good things. Good things that I am going to continue to work on in 2012.
I really wonder what this year is going to be like, both leading up to and following the election.
Even more so, I wonder what 2013 is going to bring.
Life is insane.
