2011 in Review

2011 was a momentous year for our little family filled with the most change we have experienced since "The Baughers" came to be. Back in 2008 we had a pretty big year- both graduated from college and ended our  careers as students, started new jobs, moved to a new city,  bought a house, and got a dog, but I think 2011might have beat it. Here is a look back at our year.

January
 - My parents closed on their new house in Broken Arrow (6 miles from our house)

February
- We survived a blizzard that canceled school for two weeks and delayed one of Matt's flights to Florida for a couple of days. I have fondness for the blizzard that changed Matt's 5 day trip to a quick 3 day one.
- We celebrated my 26th birthday
- We spent the weekend in Kansas City for my birthday/"babymoon"
