From 2012 to 2013

I can't believe it's Christmas again! How does everything always go so fast? Thank goodness God's in control, not me. 

The Notables of 2012: 

  • Interning with American Leprosy Missions, including attending the Catalyst Conference 
  • Running my third half-marathon 
  • Having a GREAT D-group--what would I do without Emmi, Emily, Tayla, Sam, Adair and Katie? Traveling to Switzerland (with a pit-stop in Paris) 
  • Taking a double-decker bus trip with Jay to visit DC, NYC, and Boston and stay with Lily, Rob and Megan
  • Discovering collard greens, brussel sprouts, kale, artichokes, bean sprouts and butternut squash--yum! 
  • Presenting at a Communications Honors conference..and getting my paper published! 
  • A year and a half with Jay 
  • Learning about the spiritual disciplines, love languages, the enneagram, and how to deal with my perfectionism 
  • Going to a very glamorous wedding in Cincinatti--what a party! 
  • Not taking plastic bags from stores all year long
  • Realizing that friendships with Shannon, Lily, Grace, Carrie and Charlee really will last--love 'em. 

The Notables of 2013: 

  • Traveling to South Africa, Namibia and Botswana in February and March 
  • Graduating in May: what?!? #Grownuplife, here I come.
  • Cruising to Alaska with my brother, parents and grandparents in June 
  • Getting a big-kid apartment 
  • Job-searching (and hopefully, finding): I want to be somewhere where I can use my communications and research experience to make a tangible difference in the world.
