2017 in a Nutshell

It has been quite an eventful year, but that has come to a close, so here are the highlights:

• Eddie turned 1!!!
• In March I went to WinterJam for the first time and saw Crowder and Tenth Avenue North live for the first time!
• Bella turned 7!!!
• I got to go to "Giselle" with Rebekah (The tales of bitter, dead women are endless)
• Completed finals for my sophomore year of college
• Had my last dance recital, at least for a while. 
• Rebekah and I had a 40th birthday celebrating both of our 20th birthdays 
• Drove to Kentucky and back in two days, with a little detour in Indiana to see Spider-man (It's a horse! It's a jockey! It's a guy on a horse!)
• Said the (at the time) hardest good-byes of my life and went to Summit Semester 
• Celebrated Farvest Hall
• Had Thanksgiving with more than just family, a lot more. 
• Graduated Summit Semester
• Said the current hardest good-byes to my family at Semester
• Returned to Illinois generally in one piece
• Got a new cousin!!!!!!!!!! 
• Nearly froze to death in Chicago with friends
• Had the best New Year's Eve with three dear friends from Summit
• Talked on the phone more than I ever have in my life between being at Semester and talking to Semester people now that we are all home. 

Here's to an amazing 2018!
