I cannot believe that it is already a new year! 2010 flew by with so many amazing things happening throughout the year it is hard to remember them all. Here is just a small taste of the amazing experiences I had: multiple trips to Australia with amazing people (Thank you to the Pankhursts, Craig and Darryl!) to include an amazing ride in the Snowy Mountains, a sailing trip with an amazing group of veterans living on a 20 foot boat with 12 people on the coast of Maine for five days, traveling to Europe with friend Emma and cousin Lauren, a spontaneous and quick eight day roadtrip out west to South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming to visit beautiful National Parks and also where my dear car Couga blew up in Cheyenne, working four whole weeks with young horses at Bannockburn Farm with super horse trainer TJ Clibborn, going to the first US World Equestrian games in Kentucky with mom and Allyn, a Brezina family reunion in Hawaii and a family gathering to celebrate my graduation from Graduate School! Whew! I feel like I barely scratched the surface!
Rather than rambling on about my various, never dull moments of my life in 2010, I will add a collection of some of my favorite photos throughout the year for your viewing pleasure. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I'm sure that they will speak for themselves.
In closing, thank you so much to everyone; friends, family, horses and everything else that made this such an amazing year. Soon I will be moving to Maryland to start the next chapter of my life working as a government contractor. I am looking forward to the change and the challenge and also to seeing all of my east coast friends and family! So bring it on 2011! I'm sure that it'll be a great one! Happy New Year everyone!!
