A Look Back at 2013!

Happy New Year Everyone! =)

It feels like forever since I have been on here. If you’ve noticed, my last post was in September – over three months ago! Oopsies! I kept trying to keep up with this blog, but always seemed to fall short due to my crazy/busy/wonderful new life as a big girl in the real world.

What a year 2013 has been! It was filled with lots of changes including graduating college, moving back to Louisville, living with my parents, starting my career as a teacher, and adjusting to no more long-distance with Scott (hooray!). With these transitions, I’ve experienced many ups and downs, but wouldn’t have it any other way. 2013 was a great year and the start of a new chapter in my life. Here’s a review in pictures of my most favorite memories…

[celebrated 6 wonderful years with this stud in January]

[enjoyed my last semester with these lovely ladies]

[celebrated my 22nd birthday in March (while having double pink eye) with some great friends and family]

[went to the beach with my parents for spring break]

[completed my student teaching]

[graduated in May from the University of Dayton]

[received a beautiful new car (her name is Stella) for my graduation present from my parents]

[spent a wonderful weekend at the lake in July with my best friends and celebrated Scott’s 23rd birthday]

[went on not one but TWO trips to Hilton Head this summer]

[fulfilled my life-long dream of becoming a teacher in the fall]

[went to Hilton Head for a long weekend to watch my oldest cousin get married on the beach]

[football season started which was weird and nice having Scott sitting with me, instead of seeing him on the field playing]

[enjoyed many nights out with some great people]

[spend Thanksgiving in Indy]

[got the house all ready for Christmas]

[loved my first Christmas as a teacher]

[watched Scott graduate]

[had Christmas at our house with my mom’s side of the family]

[went to Orlando to watch the Cards play in their bowl game]

Well that pretty much sums it up. It was an amazing year and I can’t wait to see what 2014 will bring! =)
