Year in Review

Think of this as my 2011 "Christmas letter" to all you followers out there : )
From what I remember, there wasn't anything too notable about January or February, but I did travel to Sacramento, San Fransisco, and wine country in March!

In April I turned 23...woopie!

The month of May brought some mourning with the loss of our close family friend Linda, but it also brought bonding time on our annual family fishing trip to Minnesota. I also finished my first year of graduate school at UNK!

In June I was a personal attendant for my friend Cathleen's wedding in Grand Island.

My high school friend Kilie got married in July. I also became an aunt to Brylen James and floated down the Niobrara river!

Throughout the summer I worked at Target and took my 3rd full time semester of grad classes and clinic in Kearney. I fell in love and started my 4th semester of school in August.

September was a month of fun dates followed by October which meant my family selling our home on the golf course in Tekamah and moving to a small temporary house in Fremont. My parents, Tyler, and I also ventured to Wisconsin to witness the Huskers loss to the stinky Badgers.

In November I traveled to San Diego with three classmates for the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA) 2011 Convention. 

In December I got word that I officially have a job as a speech-language pathologist for the 2012-2013 school year through ESU #2 in Fremont. I also moved home with my parents, sister, and Brylen after finals week and we've already started making memories in our little humble abode! 

2011 was a bit of a roller coaster, we lost a loved one but gained Brylen and Tyler. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel and make some amazing memories. I learned how to golf and cooked more than I ever have before. I am currently interning as a speech-language pathologist in a school until March and then a medical setting. After that, I will graduate in May and begin my career in August! I am living with my mom, dad, sister, and Brylen and hoping that I will get to rent this house once my parents find their "dream home". I love finally living in the same town as Tyler and he comes over quite often to see me, Brylen, and to eat of course ; )
