Ready to say goodbye to 2011

Holy hanna. Christmas is almost here. Where has the time gone??? It's been a crazy year. A big majority of this year will be nice to leave behind while I move into 2012. Even though the first half of 2011 wasn't very kind to me, it did start to look up and I think it's good for me to remember that fact. Here's a quick look back on 2011 for Ashley Remarkable.
-Sadness and heart break (lets skip over this because we all already know the story. If you are feeling left in the dark refer back to Bad juju out....Good juju in)

-Move number one to my bestie, Jackie's, house (I can't thank her and Chaz enough for all they did for me)

-Joined a flash mob group (So much fun! Met some great people)

-Car accident number one (Seriously!)

-More sadness and tough times

-Trip to New York to visit Auntie Moni and Uncle Jim (enjoyed some much needed R&R!)

-Sold Armada (car I wrecked) and refinanced my house to pull out my equity so I could finally get my own place and car.

-Move number two into my very own apartment (lots of tears and gratitude for all those who helped make this possible)

-Fun summer weekends with friends

-Met my sweet Christopher

-Car accident number two

-Bought my car (cried the whole way home)

-Hot days in my apartment with a non working swamp cooler (temps were up to 100 degrees!)

-Lots of cuddling and fun with Chris

-Got a little something for myself (boobies!)

-Long weeks of recovery from surgery (ouch!)

-Car accident number 3 (this time I wasn't in the car. Chris was driving my car and got hit)

-Park City shopping weekend with Chris

-Wendover with Daddio, Audrey and Chris

-Camping with mom, Tim, brothers, Chris, and family friends at Yuba

-Move number three to Seattle, Washington

-Crazy apartment searching resulting in residency in Greenlake

-On the downside.....two months without Chris :(

-On the bright side.....two months exploring a new state!

-Lots and lots of driving with the new job!

-Said goodbye to my Seattle adventure

-Move number four back to Utah (13 1/2 LONG hours by myself! Yuck.)

-Two weeks with no work

-Found a job (love it! Brookview Pain Management )

-Trip to LA for Chris's work (he got to bring me along)

-Lost a friend to a tragic car accident (RIP Abbi Jane Call <3)

-Halloween and Thanksgiving with family

-Black Friday shopping with my mom and Chris (yes, we are crazy)

-Preparation for move number five to the house Chris bought

Now we just wait for Christmas to come. It's going to be a different one this year. Some things are still really hard to face, but I have good things in my life to remind me I am blessed. :)

Much love and gratitude
Remarkable Me
