a blast from the past. 2010.

here's a little look back some of the exciting things happened in my life and the lives of the ones around me from 2010....

in january i took a big step in 'growing up'. i packed everything up and moved ship to a new city for no reason in particular other then to live somewhere new. though it was an interesting transition, coming from a city that i was born and raised in to a city were i only knew a few people, it was an experience i would never trade. although i would never be caught dead cheering for the edmonton oilers, the city itself was great, i loved it. when i moved back home to calgary later in the year i think i left a piece of my heart in edmonton.

february was a month full of cheering, tears of happiness, and a much needed vacation! the vancouver 2010 winter olymips took place this month. canada took home 26 medals in total, 14 of those being gold (which was the most gold for any country!).

my family friend amy gough competed in the womens skelton for canada which made it extra exciting to watch. and who would forget the amazing gold medal win by the mens hockey team. i think that most canadians had tears in their eyes when sydney scored the winning goal in overtime against the united states. such a proud moment.

i was also privileged enough to get the chance to take a little vacation

down to phoenix to visit my aunt and uncle. when we weren't laying by the pool with strong margaritas in our hands we could be found doing our thing at the mall. a blissful, relaxing time away.

yeehaw cowboy. july, as it always is for a calgarian (even when they live in edmonton) is the cowboy month. i am a huge fan of the calgary stampede and make it a priority to get down to the stampede grounds at

least once a year. this year my family (minus the youngest member of our clan as he was gallivanting in europe for the summer) got tickets to the rodeo! it was a great afternoon with lots of horse poop and mini doughnuts, yummmmm!!

fast forward a few months to august. i took a trip that every girl must take at some point in their 20's... a girls vegas trip!! myself

and 3 of my closes girlfriends ventured south for 4 nights to the city of sin. it was some of the

most fun i have had in a long time. all night dance parties, laying by the pool in the blistering heat and lots of shopping. we stayed on the strip at the flamingo hotel (which by the way has the best pool ever, i would highly recommend it). i checked off an item from my 'to do before i die' list and went to a cirque de soleil show. we saw 'zumanity' which was a bit scandalous to say the least.

34 x 5 + 52 - 198 = 24. that's the magic number that i turned in the month of november. it was low key which was such a blessing! i celebrated the magic number by spending my time with my close friends and family. i was spoiled beyond belief, and it was great!

december was a month of crazy busyness! i moved (for the 4th time in a year) into a

townhouse with 2 of my best friends. we are still getting settled in, collecting all the little household items that are needed. it has always has been a dream that one day the three of us would have a place together, now it's coming true, crazy!

well there you have it folks, the low down of some of the exciting things that 2010 held. what were some of your highlights?

i hope that you had a wonderful year in 2010.
i look forward to the adventures that 2011 is sure to hold. all the best this year!
