Catching Up: #Reverb11: 1st Prompt: Where Did 2011 begin?

This is a tough one.  The start to 2011 was a very difficult one.  I won't go into the difficult details but I'll cover the top line ones.  I know that's unfair of me to not share but I've got to keep some secrets here :)

Mark and I were in Los Angeles for the New Year.  The Wisconsin Badgers were playing in the Rose Bowl - Mark went to U. of Wisconsin at Madison - and so we road tripped down from San Francisco to see friends and watch the game.  We didn't have tickets so we planned to tailgate and then go to a bar to watch the game.

Instead, on NYE, I ended up in the ER.  Luckily, I was released about 5 minutes before midnight and so we kissed and welcomes the New Year in our car - so much better than being hooked up to an IV in a hospital bed.  The following day, I still wasn't feeling well, so we skipped tailgating and instead found a quiet bar to watch the game.  Sadly, the Badgers lost that game.

Overall, the beginning of 2011 wasn't a very good one.  Thankfully, the rest of the year has been MUCH better!

Here's hoping that 2012 is a much better start!
