it's a new year! — The Optimistic Wanderer

hello friends! It's been forever since I updated and I apologize! Working 50+ hours and finishing up the semester meant not a whole lot of time!

I'm super excited for all the next year has to bring some of the things in the works include:

The Galapagos this summer!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for this!!!!!!
Alaska over spring break with Bri to visit the lovely Ellen!
Hopefully a reunion with the love of my life aka Italy!
A new camera.....if I can work enough overtime!
Hopefully multiple trips to Oregon, Ohio, and Nevada!
AND because the lineup is AMAZING...Coachella!

Now none of this is set in stone (well, except Galapagos) but I'm definitely determined to make it happen! 2012 is going to be the best year yet, especially since it might be the end of the world! :)

And since I can't post without adding in a few pics, here's what I've been up to in the last few months:
