Just because.

Welcome to the future, folks! I still remember the Y2K meltdown mania like it was yesterday, so I find it deeply troubling that 2011 has somehow crept up on me. What's even more disturbing is that I have to come up with, commit to, and commence my New Year's resolutions tomorrow (yes, I did say tomorrow....because I find it easier to adhere to resolutions if they don't start on a Saturday).

Anyway, since I'm still enjoying lounging around my house, catching up on The Real Housewives of (fill in the blank), and writing 1.1.11 on every available piece of paper, I figured now would be the perfect time to blog about....my recent vacation! No pearls of wisdom in this post (sorry!), just pictures of my trip to South Africa and Rwanda. It was so amazing that I couldn't resist. Enjoy!

To a happy, healthy, and hectic 2011! Let the adventures continue.

Leopard in South Africa.

Gorilla in Rwanda...probably about 4 feet away from us.

Sunrise in Rwanda.

Yours truly enjoying the most delicious cup of Rwandan coffee...ever.

Hike to see the gorillas in Rwanda (the picture doesn't even do it justice!).
