Sounds of Laughter. Shades of Life.

Before the ball drops, the glitter rains, the corks pop, and the kisses are stolen I have to reflect on 2011.  The year flew by like they all seem to do but not without granting me opportunities and blessings.

December : I will be the first to admit that I am easily overwhelmed by the stress and hustle & bustle of Christmas.  Despite my many complaints the Christmas holidays were as beautiful as always.


November: Was full of Nuptials and New Beginnings.



October: For the first time in a long time (possibly ever) I did not celebrate Halloween; in the traditional sense at least.

September: was “Bacheloretting” and attending the 2011 Excellence in Journalism Conference in New Orleans. 



August: I spent time with as many of my loves as I possibly could before the semester started.



I celebrated my Birthday. Simple. Family. Falling asleep to meteor showers and waking up to pancakes and mimosas.


July: 4th of July was a True Blue Louisiana Summer Holiday in the sweltering heat; that never  seems to slows us down.



May and June: The time of year I feel the most alive; celebrations of all things Summer Time.





April: Long Live Lady GaGa




March: I walked for the cure; as I will continue to do until there are more birthdays and less tears. 




(Early) March:  I spent Mardi Gras at a Ball on the Bayou; it doesn’t get more Louisiana than that!



February:  I walked for another cause close to my heart. The Children’s Shelter of Acadiana; King Cake 5K.


January: New Year’s Eve 2011 was intimate and chic.  Looking back I can say without hesitation that it set the tone for the year.
