This year is coming to an end and I would just like to pint out some of the great things this 2011:

1. One of the MOST important was being able to meet my McGirls in those meetings we had. I am happy to say that we became really close and I am so glad that I as able to make the first meeting happen. This also brought http://usapioneermeetings.tumblr.com/ and I was able to collect a lot of Tumblr and Twitter accounts from fans all over the U.S. with the help of some great people like the awesome http://ariextravaganza.tumblr.com/
2. Who will be able to forget those special pictures by the boys? First it was the Attitude shoot and then their promise of those naked pictures. They might have taken long to come out but they did!
3. Those pictures came thanks to the victories of Dougie and Harry. Now we have our King of the Jungle and our Dancing Queen. We were all so proud of both of them just like the boys and it was a great thing that they were both able to accomplish. Harry did a lot of hard work day after day to come out with those amazing dances and even though Dougie says that all he did was lay on a hammock, the remarkable thing was that he opened up and was able to talk about his past troubles and it made us all proud that he overcame them.
4. I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL!!! It was 4 long years at Newport Harbor High School that I will never forget but I am now attending the University of California, Riverside and even moved out to the dorms. This will bring some more interesting experiences and a lot of new people.
5. I also received some lovely things this year. I was able to get that autographed pictures of the boys that the amazing Paula brought back from Bournemouth. It is still up on my wall and it is just awesome! I was also lucky enough to win the t-shirt giveaway. I was also lucky to meet R5 and get that bracelet and autographed picture. Something great was receiving that Happy Birthday tweet from Riker!!!  There is also the print giveaway and I was able to get Tom and Danny and the picture one of all the boys. Got some great bracelets from The Beginning Bracelets and who would forget those pioneer packs that everyone was so anxious about.
6. I fell in love with One Direction and their first album was released. Tom also ended up working with them with the song “I Want”.
7. I will also never forget meeting R5 and a few of The Warblers with Monica. I remember walking into the fair where they were going to play and spotting them. We were able to chat with Riker about McFly and in the show they ended up playing two songs, That Girl and 5 Colours In Her Hair. It was AMAZING!!!! Also met Jac Vanek at Teen Vogue’s Haute Spot with Abby and Katie. It was a very fun day!
8. Last but not least TIOVANNA’S ENGAGEMENT! I remember reading the tweets and having a heart attack as if I was the one getting married. I am so happy for both of them and wish them the best.

We now just have to wait and see what 2012 will bring us. Lets just hope that it isn’t the end of the world…
