A Year Later... I'm a Survivor

So it has been an entire year since my last blog post... Which is a testament to how BUSY, BUSY, BUSY 2011 was for me!! If you want the Spark Note version of what all I have been up to for the past 12 months, today is your lucky day!!! Here it is:

January:
This is a month I can never forget... January 10, 2011, was the day I witnessed Auburn win their 2nd National Championship. We were out in Glendale, Arizona, to watch the game, then there was a huge celebration in Jordan Hare Stadium once everyone got back. It was a great time to be an Auburn Tiger!
February:
Several members of our chapter council got to go to Tuscaloosa for the Xi Province meeting. We learned all kinds of great skills for our officer positions and met Kappas from around our province! I also randomly met Daniel one night at Sky bar, and we have been together since!
March:
We had formal at the Ventana's in Atlanta. A beautiful location with a great view of downtown!! Anne, Madison, Jordan & I also took the most random spring break trip ever to Branson, Missouri, but had a great time! We even met Neal McCoy!
April:
Our chapter held our annual Parents Weekend, and I had a great time with my parents when they came to Auburn to visit me!!
This summer:
I went to Dauphin Island with my family - and accidentally buried my car in a sand dune.... I attended 9 hours of summer school.... Prepared for recruitment.... And that's basically all I did for 3 months!!
August:
Brought about the most STRESSFUL week of my entire life to date, which resulted in one of the most rewarding days I have ever experienced. Recruitment was absolute HELL - unless of course you enjoy being awake for 48 hours straight, shaking hands with over 5,000 sweaty hands, and hours upon hours of small talk... However, the excitement & joy experienced on Bid Day made it all worth it!
September:
I TURNED TWENTY-ONE!!
And celebrated for an entire week straight. I mean, it is a once in a lifetime event, right???
October:
Daniel & I went to Florida for the Florida/Alabama football game. We spent some time at the beach drinking Rum Runners --- which did me IN!! --- and we also got to go inside the Florida football stadium.
November:
Our family went to the Gaylord to see the ICE! Exhibit. It was COLDDD!
December:
Was a month full of events! We had our Tacky Christmas Social (one of my FAVORITE themes), Daniel came to Dallas, we went to the Mavs game, & Christmas time!
