Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012!

Here's my final post of 2011, ladies and gents! These are photos from yesterday when Nathaniel and I went on a little date out to Panera for dinner, and then to see The Artist - a 2011 black and white silent film. I highly recommend it! We had a lovely time, but geez this break is flying by way too quickly...I go back to school this Wednesday!

I'm going to conclude this post with a list of events that happened in 2011 that were significant...

February // Attended a Battle of the Bands with my friend Jessica, as well as with Nat before we started dating...! ♥ ; had a lonely Valentine's Day (haha!) ; explored a graveyard and went to the beach with friends; Google scared the crap out of me by resetting accounts.

  1. What a great year! I wish you the best new year possible! I've loved getting to read your blog, especially since we're in the same area...Do you know that I have never been to the Alameda Flea Market thing, but I literally live only a few miles from where it's held? haha! I'm so going the next time it comes around. Have a wonderful weekend!

  10. You are so classically beautiful in all of your pictures, for real. And the way you pull off lipstick so well... eep! Perfect.

    It sounds like you had quite the eventful year! It's always nice to look back on what you did through the year... makes you feel like you did a lot more than you thought, eh? :)
