- Went to the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix in January to watch Texas beat Ohio State. I also got to see Adrianne and Kenneth (my aunt and uncle, for those who don't know), which was such a blessing :)
- I was promoted to full-time staff writer at my paper, the Pilot Point Post-Signal. I took over some advertising and clerical tasks as well as my regular sports pages and occasional feature stories.
- Mom and I threw my best friend Lauren a Barbie-themed bridal shower at the house (I'm about to host her bachelorette party next week). This has been our first time around as maid of honor/mother of maid of honor.
Hmmm, sadly that's all I can seem to think of right now. The full-time promotion was the big one, really. I'm still living at home with my parents, who I know just love having my hang around, eating their food and consuming electricity :P At least now, I have realistic goals about moving out and moving closer to work. Pilot Point is 50 miles northwest of Murphy, but hey, it's a job!
Also, these are things that aren't happening to me, per se, but to people in my inner circle.
- Lauren's wedding to her college sweetheart is Sunday, June 28.
- My college roommate, Rachel, was accepted in to graduate school at Texas State in San Marcos, starting this fall, to become a theater teacher. Her screenplay was also optioned earlier this year by an independent producer.
- Matt, my boyfriend, received his master's in aerospace engineering from UT and accepted a job as a research engineer at MIT in Boston - so far away, but I'm so proud and happy for him :) He also got into the New York City marathon on November 1!!
Alright, now everyone should be up to speed :)
