I really thought that...

...things were going to slow down after the holidays but I guess I was wrong! I have no clue where the month of January went...And I know where the first part of February went... :)

So here is a recap of the past couple of months!

Nashville has had one of the snowiest winters ever... This was the evening of our first snow days...
We only got a couple of inches but that seems to shut down the whole city. And little did I realize when I bought my house, exactly how much trouble it would be to A.) get out of my parking lot and B.) to get off this hill. Thank goodness I can access my work computer from home. It has saved me this winter.

Garth Brooks put on 9 benefit concerts for the city of Nashville, to help with the flood recovery process. I got to go to one of them thanks to my wonderful neighbor Kelly!


Our company ended the year strong, and we were lucky enough to get bonuses... So, I got new chairs for my living room!!!

(Purple Velvet, they look awesome!!!)

Casey and I didn't get to go back to Colorado for Christmas so we ended up trying to Skype with Mom and Dad on Christmas morning. Casey and I found some pretty awesome surprises under the Christmas tree. Casey got a drill, and I got the stand mixer I have been lusting after for years...expect baked goods!!!

The December parties didn't stop...there was still fun to be had there were birthdays, happy hours, and football...needless to say I didn't get much sleep.


New Years was the BIG party. My Brother, Casey, and rung in the New Year with our Neighbors at the Adventure Science Center in Nashville. It was fun!

(Don't we clean up nice?)

The next thing I knew it was recruitment for Vanderbilt (boy did that sneak up on me this year)...And, as the recruitment adviser, I was at the Vandy Tri Delta house every night helping them select a new pledge class, which they got an amazing group of girls!

After recruitment was over the countdown to Family Cruise 2011 started!!!

But there was on last thing I had to do before I left town for 10 days. I had to put together my submission for the AIM awards. I really wrestled with putting together an entry, but in the end I am glad I did. You may be wondering what the AIM awards are and what my entry is... Well, AIM stands for Achievements In Marketing, and these awards are put on by the Nashville Chapter of the American Marketing Association (NAMA). These awards really focus on results. So, I put together a entry about the Nashville Huskers, I know it might be crazy but with the amount of success we had, I wanted to share it.

My reward for accomplishing everything was a 10 day cruise to the Caribbean with the family... but that is another post....

So now you are up to speed!
