2010 in a nutshell

I thought I would give you a little bit of history on me and the boy. We have been friends since 2007 when we both moved to Charlottesville. After many life changes, moves, and finally a twist of fate, we found ourselves together on new years eve counting down the seconds to the new year......and then we kissed! It was the most wonderful first kiss and I did not want it to end! So that led us to our first date, get ready for it, hunting! I know, who would have ever thought prissy little vegetarian lizzie would ever go hunting with a boy?? Well I really wanted to see what all the hype was about, so I grabbed my book and some warm clothes and together we hiked up a mountain, got in some tree stands and sat there. Graham hunted. I read. At one point, I glanced up, spotted a deer that Graham had not yet seen and boom, from then on I have been considered good luck to go hunting with. I actually enjoyed being outdoors and really just loved being with him, so yes, I go hunting with him now.

We spent the past 11 months having the time of our lives. We have gone snow tubing at Wintergreen, vacationed on a yacht in paradise, spent cold winter nights in Sperryville, driven through lots of snow, hiked Sugar Hollow and Old Rag, toured numerous gardens, attended weddings in Annapolis, Blacksburg, Sonoma Valley, Boston, and Vermont. We went to see Colbie Callait/Sheryl Crow, DMB (x2), and LADY GAGA (which I think was our ultimate favorite)!!! We spent time driving around beautiful Charlottesville, going to Fridays after 5 and 1st Fridays (yay Skylight Studios), and finally made a trip to my beloved Lane Stadium to cheer on the HOKIES! Did I mention that we have also vacationed with family in Emerald Isle, NC and Key Largo, Florida, where on both trips I caught more fish than Graham? Yep that's right, this girl loves fishing too!

We have lots of fun plans in December and plan to see lots of good friends and family! Here are a few pics from the year....the best year of my life =)
