2011

Well, its finally come. 2011. The year I am done with my academic career (for the most part). A year that I expect to be full of new things, new people, and growth. So in honor of the New Year and growth... a top five list of new found loves:

1. Playlist.com

Basically, its an awesome website where you have access to a LOT of music and you can build your own playlists and share

them with the world. Such the one I made below -- a little taste

of what I listened to during Snowpocalypse 2011.

2. Sea Salt

Its amazing. It adds so much flavor! And you don't need very much of it when cooking! And it was not too much more

expensive than regular salt. So I highly recommend it.

3. Scripture Memorization

Confession: I do not do this. Its one of those things where you

know it is important and a vital part of spiritual growth --

but you do not participate it. Well I am drawing the line on laziness. I am going to put real effort into this. One way I decided to do this was copy down some scripture verses that I have been given over the years. Whether through church, camp notes, letters...etc.

4. The Circle Scarf

I only have one so far, and in all honesty in needs to stay that way because I have way too many scarfs! But I got a black, knit one from Gap and I adore it. Very easy to wrap around in layers. You never have to worry about bending over and your scarf falling into something. And it just looks fantastic.

5. Boots

I have never been much of a boots gal, but I relented and asked for a pair for Christmas. And now I am in love. I love that they keep my legs warm and dry. I dont have to worry about stepping on my jeans. You can dress them up, or play them down. Very versatile.

What are some of your new found loves?
