This year has been a whirlwind. At the beginning of the
year, I remember saying ‘I’m going to slow down this year.’ Pashah – didn’t
happen. So, here’s a stroll down memory lane…
In January I started using Latisse and it changed my life -
and my face. We got snowed in for four days during Atlanta’s Snowpocalypse. I
officially became Stacy Wilson. I spent 13 hours painting stripes in my guest
bedroom. We went to our friend, Lindsay’s, cabin in North Georgia and I made my
first video.
In February we thought about selling our house. But then
quickly found out that the rumors are true – house prices really are in the
crapper.
In March we threw a wedding shower for our friends Mike and
Mandy. We celebrated St. Patty’s Day and some birthdays – including my dad’s. I
trusted my GPS and it led me astray.
In April we celebrated a birthday and our wedding band, Flux
Capacitor, was there – Awe.Some. I traveled to Orlando for Mandy’s bachelorette
party and attended a bridal shower. Saw the dermatologist for the first time in
my life and finally diagnosed the eczema on my hands. Latisse continued to
change my life.
In May we had another bachelorette party in Atlanta for
Mandy. After that, I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. We finally got our deck
stained. Beau and Brother turned three years old. We celebrated my brother,
Patrick’s, birthday.
In June I went to Dallas, TX for work. We saw Zach Brown at a local bar - he sang a few cover songs and poured some free shots. We celebrated our friend, Branden’s, birthday
with a pool party. Shane and I started playing kickball. We celebrated our
friend, Mike’s, 30th birthday with a movie-themed costume party.
In July we went back to Lindsay’s cabin for summer 4th
of July fun – including tubing, trapping snakes and hanging out. We had
some trees cut down…hoping the grass would grow. It didn’t. We celebrated our
friend, Kelly’s, birthday. We found a bong in the closet. We bought a new car.
I went to Chateau Elan for work. We spent a week in Panama City Beach, Fl. Half
of my work team quit and things got stressful.
In August we celebrated one year of marital bliss. Shane gave me diamond stud earrings that I’ve wanted FOREVER. I went to Aruba with my besties. We
celebrated Danielle’s 30th birthday with a party bus and Smyrna bar
crawl. We finally sent out our wedding thank you notes. Work was still hectic.
In September we kicked off Georgia football season. We
celebrated our friend, Jennifer’s, birthday. We saw Journey. I started laser
hair removal – and it changed my life. Work got really rough and I had several
breakdowns. I found out that I run a 7.1 second 40-yard dash and put it on a
shirt. I started boot camp with Jennie and learned to run outside.
In October I turned 28. Work was still crazy. I got a
massage. Attended Kirnfest. Ran my first 5K. Started taking a photography class (that wound up sucking, big time). Celebrated my mom’s birthday.
In November I tried on wedding dresses (don’t ask :)). Celebrated our
friend, Justin’s, 30th birthday. Played our final kickball game of
the fall. Hosted our first Thanksgiving. I worked a lot. Celebrated our friend,
Mandy’s, 30th birthday with an 80’s theme.
In December I went to Raleigh for work. Saw The Sitter (it’s just like Adventures in Babysitting). Had a low
country boil. Worked a lot some more. Celebrated my brother, Chris’, birthday. Had
an awesome Christmas with the family.
I am thankful for all that we were able to do and celebrate in 2011 but I must admit it was a busy and stressful year. I'm looking forward to a fresh start...now, bring on 2012!!!
