Gonna pop in this last one! A 2011 Timeline!

Seeing as we have 2 days left of the year 2011, I kinda wanted to pop in this one post. This year has been a year of firsts. Of course, you can say that about any year that you've lived, but this one has the most BIG firsts. I guess I just kinda wanna list them out...Mostly for me to see and look back on. So, here it is. 2011 in a (kinda long) nutshell.
