Whew! What a crazy year this has been. It was so much fun to go on a little trip through memory lane to write this post! I can’t believe how much has changed and how much I did in a year! My final 2010 takeaways:

1. I have a pretty sweet life
2. I travel a LOT
3. I got really good at studying and doing homework on planes 😉

I hope you all enjoyed this trip down memory lane as much as I did! Was this a big year for you, too? Why?
