I took this idea from the
best friend. I am going to take a look back at 2011 via my little blog!
In
January I was just starting to get the hang of this little blog thing.
In
February I decided to kick-start my blogging my doing "30 Days of Blogging."
In March I started the
"Green Dress Challenge" where I decided to start losing some weight (still working on this, it's a constant challenge) and met one of my "Idol's" (or
American Idol that is).
In May I had my first experience traveling along and got stuck in
Dallas overnight, and my life (and my perspective on life) was changed forever when my roommate lost her father to cancer.
In
June I committed to growing up and doing better in school.
In
July I turned 22 and "completed" my
"Green Dress Challenge" when I could finally fit into the dress I was wanted to wear, and wore it to a Jason Aldean concert!
In
August I reflected on the summer and said goodbye to my little brother when he moved to
Florida.
In November I blogged for
30 days about what I was thankful for.
I also purposely wanted to make sure I made it to 200 blog posts in 2011 which makes this my 200th post! I wanted to start blogging more and in 2010 I only blogged 10 times... so I think I stepped it up a bit! I'm happy! Happy New Year!!
If you look closely at this picture you can see that it says "World of Color" in the water.. it was showing a lot more clearly than that but my camera wouldn't capture it. I can't even describe to you how brilliant "World of Color" is. Some of the things done in this show can only be described by Disney magic.. if you haven't seen this show yet.. do yourself a favor, and next time you are there... see it! I cried.
This was the picture they snap of you right before they drop you again on the "Hollywood Tower of Terror"... my family and I are on the middle row... and as you can see from my face.. "Tower of Terror" is a pretty accurate name.. but it is so fun!
This is a picture I took in line waiting for "Snow White."
"Pinnochio"
My mom and I waiting for the new "Little Mermaid" ride.. and being that this was my all time favorite movie growing up, I loved this ride!
"Indiana Jones!" (which we rode at least 3 times.. it's the best).
It was an amazing trip. Disneyland or Disney in general will never get old.. and I will never outgrow it! 
My mom got French Onion soup that I tried a taste of and was pretty good!
My mom and dad got a salad with grilled salmon that was pretty good too (i'm not the biggest fan of salmon though).
and this was the main dish my brothers and I all got... it was not at all what we expected. It was called the "Monte Cristo" sandwhich and it was described as having turkey, ham and melted cheese and said it was "lightly" battered. There was not much meat at all, it was heavily battered (and the batter was sweet) and covered with powdered sugar. It was not that great, but it's presentation was amazing.
That night for dinner we stuck with a place we knew would be great, the "Rainforest Cafe," and it was simple, good food with great atmosphere.
