To be raised in the south is a privilege. It means many things, but to me it has meant a love of all things preppy and classic, Lilly, Pearls, bows, ribbons, and the color pink. Graciousness is key, and one never leaves home without a little make up.

Happy New Year!!

As I reflect on 2011 and dream about my hopes for 2012, I thought I'd try to capture my year in pictures (somewhat).  2011 was a pretty good year, it was my first year entirely out of school, Michael graduated, got a job, and we finally got our own place!!  We also got two wonderful kitties, I got a new car... many nice things have happened!!  But I have high hopes and expectations for 2012!!  This is going to be a good year for me, I can just feel it!!

Early January sporting some bangs!


In April Michael lettered me, right before he went Alum!  This is a big deal in the Greek world, it means I'm allowed to wear Pi Kappa Phi letters and must be treated with the same respect (or more) that a brother gets.  Pledges will always see my name in the list of ladies they must know of!!  It was just a wonderful memory, and a great way to enjoy our last college formal.


May Michael graduated!!

 Spring/Summer I began to learn to play golf!

4th of July spent on the boat, wonderful!!

This wall seperated the Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Mu houses... And greek row was sadly torn down this summer, so we took some photos together before it was gone!!  Many memories of walking to this area of Campus.  I remember running down when I got my bid... and the magic of it all.  And then later on, often walking with Michael hand in hand to Chapter every week.  I will never forget those houses!!


In August my cousin got married!!!  Also in the picture is her brother :)

September: A nice night out in Flat Rock!!  

October: We met Charlie, who came to us so skinny!!

He filled out nicely!!  

November: We meet out little Pippa!!

December: I turn 24!  Wow I am old!!

Oh and Christmas was also lovely :)


All in all, it's been a lovely year!  I'm always excited about new beginnings, so I'm happy it's a new year.  I plan on really working on improving myself, inside and out.  Being more positive, and happy.  I also want to blog, read, and take more pictures!!
