January
I began the year by cleaning of course ha! Chad was starting little league basketball at his school, and it was so fun to watch them play. I started this year without a job, which was kinda refreshing because I always work! I paid for my Substitute Teacher license, and started doing that a few days out of the month. I started watching what I ate, and did a bad job from the beginning! I started reading a book called "Laughter for A Woman's Soul." My family and I watched Alabama win their 13th National Title! Roll Tide!! I started classes again, and didn't like Art, because I actually had to do Art ha! My Great-Grandmother passed away. It was expected, but always sad. Nothing ever prepares you for that. We also had a freak tornado near our area in January! Talk about a scary moment! It was right outside my dad's workplace. Luckily, all my family made it home safe!
February
The winter weather did me in! This was one of the coldest months ever, with snow and ice! Yuck! It was so bad, that 49 of the 50 states seen snow one day! Wow! UAH had a freak accident. A faculty member opened fire in a meeting, killing three other members. I blogged about watching some tv shows that I had grown to like. I had a lot of free time! I also wished the cold weather away many times that I blogged.
March
We started out the month with 4 inches of snow. I kept up with The Bachelor and American Idol of course! I was on a yogurt kick this month, eating a cup of it everyday just about ha! I went to the movies and watched "Alice In Wonderland" which was amazing, and my favorite movie! I started following a new blogger! The Diva Bee!! I also played along with her Music Monday fun! My family and I went to the Hunter Museum of Art for my brother and I to go through for our Art classes. I love that museum. My brother and I also started exercising this month. I hit a pretty good shopping deal this month at Burke's Outlet. I received my first blog award from The Diva Bee. She gave me the Sugar Doll award!!
April
I finally ended the Art class that I hated, and passed with an A!! Woohoo! I covered a few things that I love in pictures. I received another blog award! The best part, I ended the semester, and had a 17-week summer break!
May
I bought a book about my favorite actor, Heath Ledger. I posted pictures of sunsets :) I did a major change to my hair, and decided not to cut it that short again ha! We celebrated Mother's Day for my mom, and both my grandma's. I also reflected on the day I lost my grandpa. I finally got a 2-year upgrade on my phone, and was able to purchase a new one! I blogged about the season ending on my favorite shows. I started a new job as a Pharmacy Technician. What planned to be a summer job, I still have! I really enjoy it.
June
It finally turned hot, and instead of me complaining about winter cold, I was complaining about the summer heat!! I got to go get scrubs for my job. I have never worn scrubs before, so it was fun trying on different ones! I bought new shoes for work, and still love them. We celebrated Father's Day with my dad. I also got to see what I could sign up for to begin the fall semester of school.
July
We spent the 4th of July at Bridgestreet! It was so fun, and the fireworks were wonderful. We also made smores for the first time! Yum-o! Those things are so good, but very sweet. I talked about how work was going, registering for classes, and my followers! Woo!! I was extremely ready for fall to be here during July. It was so hot that month.
August
I was able to prepare for the Teacher Education Program interview. My cousin's baby was due anytime, and her shower was in this month. She was expecting a girl! It was so fun seeing her, and hanging out with her. I also started back to school, and decided to keep my job!
September
It was my 22nd Birthday this month!! Nothing special happened. On September 1st, my cousin had her baby girl, and Miss Hayleigh was welcomed. She was so tiny, adorable, and I fell in love with her! Things started slowing down in blog world due to work,family, and school. Homework was overtaking me!
October
My family and I decided to take a last minute vacation to the Smokies! It was amazingly fun, and much needed. We hiked, shopped, and walked the streets. We also we to a few museums. Ate some great food too! I got to see the Goo Goo Dolls in concert for the first time! They are my favorite band, and I have always wanted to see them in concert. It was amazing. Better than I ever expected, and would LOVE to see them again! This month was also my brother's Birthday! He is a Halloween baby! Also this month, I gained another follower!
November
I was enjoying the fall weather by this month. I did one of the best field experience's this month at a school that I loved. Thanksgiving was great, and this is my favorite holiday. I also did the Teacher Education Program interview.
December
I was accepted into the Teacher Education Program!! I was declared a Senior in college!! Work really picked up with the cold weather coming in making people sick. Hayleigh was three months old, and growing! I bought my cousin's car since she had Hayleigh! 2003 Mustang! My mom and brother's birthdays were this month! We also had our first White Christmas. It was so pretty. Annoying to drive in though! Christmas was fun, and we went sledding the day after Christmas.
And now, it's New Year's Eve!! This year flew by, and as you can read, I was very busy. Tonight, I cooked Taco Soup for the first time. My gosh it was so good! We will definitely be having that again. I hope everyone has a safe night. Happy New Year, and see you on the other side!!
