9 Months later....

I'm horrible at keeping up with these. Its been 9 months since my last post. That's a long time... I could have birthed a child in that amount of time, and you would never know (I didn't if anyone reads this!)

Well, let's try and recap what's happened, I'm sure I'm going to leave a lot out.

January - I rang in the new year with my family, since I hadn't in a about 2 years, and I felt that I needed to. It was nice to see them all, and of course there was the lots of drinking involved. Just another typical family gathering!!! I continued to work at my teaching job, and finally got to teach my own flag class. Whoo me!

February- I found out that I'm going to be an aunt again!!! And it's exciting cause this time I get to be the godmother to the baby. My sister and brother-in-law were all "who is going to be the godfather" like I need to be dating someone or married to someone...um not going to happen in 9 months...hate to break it to you guys.

March - Went to ICELAND!!! It's really not that great of a place to stay for a week long vacation. I was kinda disappointed and wish that I had gone somewhere warm instead. But it was very nice to visit in for maybe 3 days. The whole country is picturesque and I witnessed the Northern Lights. They are just as beautiful as everyone claims. I was upset I didn't bring a tripod though, all my pictures came out blurry.

April - It's so close to the end of the school year!! I'm very excited for summer, and for June. Karen and John are having their bachelor/bachelorette party in Vegas. We all bought our tickets in December and I've been so excited about it.

May - It's so close to the end of the semester I can almost taste it!!! And Vegas is next month!!! Nothing exciting really happens in May...ever.  Besides my dads birthday, he turned 60 this year. He's getting old :(

June- VEGAS BABY!!!! It's finally here!! I've waited so long for this!! A half vacation filled with slutty clothes, high heels, and drinking galore. I'm also excited for the wedding now that Vegas has arrived.  I also started dating Tim. We went on out first date to see Man of Steel in the city, and then we went to Five Napkin Burger. It was nice, and he was sweet. I think I might actually like him.

July - Karen and John's Wedding!!!! I took Tim with me. He looked handsome in his suit. It was nice to have a date to a wedding and not being the only girl without one. It was also sweet of him to agree to go to the wedding with me even though we haven't been dating that long, I thought he'd think things were moving way too fast, and would think I'm crazy and dump me. He didn't though. So that's good.

August - Still dating Tim! Whoo, its been 2 months and he hasn't gotten bored of me yet, and I haven't gotten bored of him! That's exciting. We keep things exciting. August has been kinda slow, but I like that, especially since work starts up next month, and it starts on a Monday so it's a full week of class and everything...talk about rude!  2-for-1 tickets for broadway shows has come on, and Tim was talking to me about how he wanted to see Wicked. I hope I can get them, I think it'd be a nice surprise for him, and I haven't seen it since I won the tickets back with Lindsey.

September - Got the Wicked tickets!!! I feel like the BEST girlfriend EVER!! I was scared that he wasn't going to like the show, but he did. At least I think he did, or he lied to me and told me that he did, but really didn't. It doesn't matter, I enjoyed seeing it. We'll make three months this month. I'm happy about that. He makes me happy, and I enjoy every second I spend with him.  I was also offered a teaching position for day school. It's a music appreciation position, but I'll take it. It's a foot in the door, and that's exactly what I need right now. Although they said it's only for the month, I hope the administration likes me enough to keep me. If they do, I'm going to take a nice mid-winter recess vacation. And if I'm still dating Tim, maybe he'll come with me. I'm thinking either Disney or an all-inclusive vacation. It's only the second day of teaching, and I've been keeping some pretty good steam. I hope I can keep it up. At the end of the month I'm going to the Poconos with Tim and a few of his friends and siblings. I'm excited for that too.  Next month is my birthday. I'm turning 25!! My 24th year has definitely been golden.

New Year, New Me...

All over Facebook, I see all of my friends posting statuses about this year being their year, and that they're going to change. But I don't understand why they want to change to much.  I'm going to say it's because I am happy where I am, and happy with where my life is leading me. So, I've decided that I'm just going to continue to be just as awesome as I was last year.
I'm excited for all the trips that I have planned, for my friends that are getting married, and to just experience life. There is nothing richer than experience, nothing more powerful than a thirst for knowledge, and nothing more enjoyable than doing it with people you care about. I got to ring in the new year with my family, and I got to tell you. Dancing around in a onesie with all your little cousins is by far one of the best things I've done in my 24 years. I loved every minute of it, and they had a blast with me too.  If you don't believe me, try it!

So, this is coming year, what's planned?
San Diego
Iceland
Vegas
P!NK concert

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm ready for 2013, I don't know if it's ready for me.
