Goodbye to 2011

Another year is about to enter the books and personally, it has been a momentous year.

• We hosted out first foreign exchange student-from Denmark.
• We vacationed in Florida and Washington DC
• My mother turned 80
• We hosted our second foreign exchange student-this one from Germany
• My stepmother passed away
• I met my daughter who I had given up for adoption when I was 17
• I graduated from college 
• I got a piece of the Berlin Wall for Christmas (how cool is that for a poli sci and history grad?)

Of course there are many other things that happened during the course of 2011, but these were my most memorable moments.

The newsworthy moments I will take with me are:

• The earthquake and tsunami in Japan
• Liz Taylor and Andy Rooney's deaths
• a black man running for President on the REPUBLICAN ticket
• The ten year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks
• Bin Laden IS DEAD!
• Obama sucks.

Yes I said it.  I respect the office, but he is so completely out of touch and wanting to push his own agenda that he can't get ANYthing done for Congress and his OWN democratic Senate fighting his radical push.

The world is on the verge of economic collapse and he just wants to tax more and spend on things we can't afford.  Hell, we don't even have a budget for last year!  There hasn't been a budget for since he's been in office!.  What is he thinking?

Well, so long 2011.  May 2012 be an even better year!
