Can't believe today is the last day of the year!! I feel like it has flown by!! Here is a snapshot of 2011...
January- January 6th I turned 22! whoo!! But really it was nothing exciting. After 21 nothing exciting happens.
February- Sean had his senior swim meet at the CRWC and I won my iPad! Also, Sean had his Big Ten Championship meet up in Minneapolis...his last meet as an Iowa swimmer. It was sad but also exciting! My mom and I went up there to watch. The Hawks swam great!!
