  1. I love your recap! I really mean that... I have seen many that I did NOT love at all. One was called "My Outfits of 2011" and it was virtually every outfit post picture of the year slammed into one post.

    What is in the green protein bowl? And very late, but congratulations on your marriage! What a perfect day for it :) Happy new year to you!
