2011 and its highlights

I was checking out a few blogs and i noticed several folks had posted a highlight of their past year.. So i decided why not me too!! Here is a list of things that have occurred to me in 2011 that have been super super exciting.. It is neither in order of favorites nor in any chronological order. I penned down stuff that came to my mind first!

1. The biggest thing that happened to me this year was getting married!! I married an awesome dude - Windsor Stanley :) the love of my life ;) the one whom i fight with first and then make up with ;) so we had a grand wedding.. my parents are happy ...
2. Incidentally i also met him in 2011.. and decided to get married to him ;)
3. Been to Goa for the first time ever, that was pre-marriage ;) and now I've been there twice already.. for our honeymoon as well :D
4. Did an awesome trek with Mayuri to Bhimashankar... i cherished every moment of it.. both for the company and for the scenic beauty.. anytime i was sad i rememebered those moments..
5. i flew in an airplane for the first time ever.. :D with the husband.. incidentally when we were on our way to goa for our honeymoon
6. travelled for the first time in the AC coach of a train for the first time ever :D
7. started gymming actively before the wedding.. i lost about 6 kgs and never felt better in my life ;)
8. had ezra and mayuri over for my wedding at keelacheri.. vishak and kiran came too.. id forever be thankful to them for coming :)
9. Went on an exciting bike-ride to Pondicherri with W.. had a good two days there.. though it was marred by a cold war between us.. i still cherish that trip to the hilt
10. i visited coimbatore too. spent 3 days with Vishak and his mom.. had a lovely time there..
11. bathed in a river for the first time ever!! and after that i changed my clothes surrounded by nature and nothing else.. that was the freakiest moment in my life :D
12. Bought two lovely sarees from coimbatore . one that i wore for christmas and one for my mother in law.. she was most pleased.. also some tees for dad and my father in law.
13. Rode an avenger in Coimbatore!! .. the feeling rocked \m/
14. went to Delhi this year as well. though i missed seeing the Taj Mahal, i promised id come back there with W. i HAVE to see that place it HAS to be with him and no one else. i shopped in delhi. met some of my relatives i had never met before, made some lovely sweet friends...
15. the return jouney from Delhi was turning out to be bad.. with no confirmed tickets. But we were rewarded by getting to know some deaf and mute boys.. it was an absolute pleasure conversing with them.. we exchanged numbers and i'm still in touch with them :) also met vikas who's  a fun dude too :)
16. Windsor made me some delicious cheese pasta for our 100th day anniversary (or was it 50th??) :) wasn't that sweet ;) and we had some wine too :D in our cozy lil room
17. I wore a saree for the first time ever!! that too for my wedding :D it is the most glorious saree ever!!!! have worn the saree 4 5 times after that.. but I've realised its something i just cant wear!! so I've decided never more!! :-| and W is kind enough to not force me :D
18. made several hand made cards for relatives and close friends :) it was embroidery on paper :) i todally rock at it!!
19. Was lucky to make it to Kaitlyn's concert this year :D She was absolutely adorable :)
20. Baked my first cake ever that too in a pressure cooker :) it was yummy :D
21. Went several places with W in chennai in the short span that we were there together :) good memories there :)

ooh long list huh.. i do indeed have lots of reasons to be happy about :) 2011 was a roller coaster ride for me :) i loved every moment of it :) for the first time i remember good things that happened to me in a year.. there were tough times too.. but with a loving and sweet husband like W nothing seemed impossible :)

I hope 2012 is equally exciting or even more :)

Cheers!!!!
