A Look Back at 2010 & a Glimpse into 2011

When I had a livejournal for a few years, I would always look back at the year when I new one was about to ring in and do a small summary of events. I feel like doing this again. I looked over blogs, my calendar and my journal. Hopefully I’ve covered most of the big events. I’m sure I’ve forgotten something though. It was a year of firsts, lessons and love. I hope to take what I’ve learned in 2010 and apply it in 2011.
