Okay, so that wasn't very nutshell-ish, but it's the best I could do.

A lot happened to me this year.

I can't believe that it's already 2011...it makes my head spin just thinking about it.

Although 2010 started out and ended pretty rocky (I didn't really mention the rocky ending),

I don't want to forget a single thing. 

I am thankful for each and every thing that happened in 2010

And for those who made it memorable.
