Looking Back on 2014

SkylarDecember 30, 2014

2014 was a year for the books and I still can’t believe it’s coming to a close. When I think back on 2014 I see two distinct sections of my life. Last spring was one of the funnest times in college I’ve ever had. It was my last semester with most of my sorority sisters and we lived it up (seriously though). Then summer came and went and I was back in school, but I was doing my final semester of student teaching. I didn’t feel like a college student at all and I was consistently wondering and waiting to figure out what I’m doing with my life. The truth is I will be ending the year with my life not completely figured out, but at least I do have an amazing job lined up. Anyways lets review…

I began my final year of college.

I started dating this handsome guy who continues to make me happy. Somehow he sticks around and says he loves me despite my weird and awkward ways.

My family went to Austin, TX for the X Games.

We spent time with family in Austin and I continued to fall in love with that place.

I started doing CrossFit and immediately fell in love.

We had a litter of kitties at our house this summer and I fell back in love with cats.

When I wasn’t playing with the new kitties, I was working with my Dad on the farm.

I started my final semester of college with student teaching and spent my days with 14-18 year olds.

I visited my strapping young boyfriend in Missouri and saw the St. Louis Arch.

    Your 2014 was freaking AWESOME! 2015 is going to have to work hard to beat it 😉 Congrats on graduation (again, I think). I can’t even pick out a favourite moment from this year! Ha. Probably just exploring (kind of) my to-be new city! That is the best. Hope you had a good New Year’s and that 2015 treats you well! 😀
