2011 Wrap Up
I’ve seen a lot of these today so figured I might as well join in, so bare with me as I attempt to include everything that occurred this past year in chronological order (to the best of my memories ability) and in bullet point because it’ll streamline this.

One of my favorite things about being home aside from family time and seeing old friends and visiting my favorite restaurants, bars and hang outs.

So far the 11 year old has managed to beat us both.

Jane's mom: why aren't you following me on twitter yet?
Jane's dad: I haven't been online today to even find you yet. I've got 22 followers.

Today my dog broke my futon. I think it’s time he’s goes on a diet.
I’m confident that the fact that 3 of us were sitting on it with him has nothing to with it.
Back at the Statehouse today. Need coffee.

I got a letter!
From my best friend from high school and roommate at K State today. He’s off at basic so I hadn’t seen or heard from him for a few months now (which is rare for us).
Best reason to take study break ever.

At least I’m pretty sure I could master time travel right now… or at least teleport of something.
