My 2011 Year In Review

2011 Lots of change occurred with me in 2011. I changed jobs again and I moved. So far both are going well. Lots also stayed the same. I once again went to New York in December. Again it was too cold and too crowded. I made it to the Cathe Road Trip, my fourth time. Next year, I might try a different fitness trip. I need to look and see what else is out there.

And I only over spent my Holiday budget this year by $207. So all in all, it was a good if not relatively uneventful year.
