Year in Review

This year, I: 

• got my first DSRL
• took 9,500 photos with it
• finally visited Portland, OR
• made new friends who live far away (no surprise there)
• drank too much in Portland
• and Florida
• started wearing only dresses
• and cut my hair short again
• lost and gained weight. Rinse, repeat
• almost mastered the art of pita bread making
• became serious about photography
• and decided to build a portfolio to show potential clients
• had my first (free) photo session with a friend and his daughter
• spent my first Christmas away from my family
• met the guy I want to marry (and will marry)
• spent way too much time away from him and missed him like crazy for over 100 days
• and met his wonderful family in the space of two weeks (phew, that was a lot of family members and friends!)
