2011 Retrospective
Ah, 2011. A year that was brought in while wearing tie dye tighty whities at a house party in Des Moines, and finished at a freshly painted warehouse party in Chicago.It was quite a roller coaster year with my new job, huge culture shifts, and a long distance relationship with that amazing wife of mine.
There's sooo much to talk about, but I'm gonna try to keep this short and list style.
So, other than my new job and the move to Chicago...
- I finished sleeving my left arm
- Bought a bike
- Learned how to "cook" raw food
- Had to cut down part of a tree I planted
- brewed a lot of beer
- Turned 30
- Made a whole lot of new friends
- Minnesota for Bock Fest and a death defying canoe trip
- Chicago for St Patrick's Day, an Interview, and Lollapalooza ... but then just stayed after Lollapalooza
- Omaha for Big Omaha
- Quad Cities to Visit Dad, for Rich... (more)
