Welcome 2012. . .

{My first juice of the new year!}

2011 has come and gone. Looking back, it wasn't a terrible year and it wasn't a great year. I grew a little and started to enjoy NY more. This past year was when I finally started to get on my feet again after our move to NY and I found my mental happy place once more. Things that I did in 2011:

• Found and started attending a MO shul every week. 
• Finally started meeting people in the community.
• Moved forward with my conversion after years of searching for the right movement/Rabbi/community.
• Got a dog! (Yay Fitz! He makes our lives better.)
• Completed my EMT certification.
• Started running and working out regularly.
• Ran a 5K!
• Made my first NY friends who really feel like friends.
• Met lots of NY bloggers.
• Joined a volunteer FD to work as a Firemedic.
• Visited Maine (Finally!)
• Started studying for the GRE.
• Started Hebrew classes.
• Signed up to run the NY 1/2 Marathon in 2012 for Team Sharsheret!

2011 wasn't the worst year of my life by far, but I have high hopes that 2012 will be even better.

Here's to another year of great fun, great friends and many more learning experiences.

I hope everyone had fun ringing in the new year last night!
