However, I was thinking, as I went through pictures on my computer, that I have had such a wonderful year. I'm going to go through each month and name the highlights...I encourage whoever reads this to do that! It reminds you of how blessed you really are!
January: The result of a sticky situation (me hitting the ditch) resulted in me leasing a brand new Honda Civic! Her name is Gwen. I like Gwen.
As a side-note, I think I actually got her in February, but allllllll of the other "car stuff" happened in January.
February: The students at in the Faculty of Ed had a spirit week, which ended in a "gym blast." It was supposed to be both years of Senior Years students on one team, both years of Middle Years students on another team, and both years of Early Years students on their own team. It turned out that my class (first year Senior Years, at the time) had so much spirit that all of us (except for maybe 3) came out to compete and we ended up having the same numbers as all of the other groups combined. That was a fun (and competitive) afternoon.
March: Dylan and I found ourselves an apartment together. I don't think we moved until April, but we got the keys at the end of March. This place certainly feels like a home. :)
April: For the second time, I was able to enjoy being a part of the Strathclair Drama Club's annual production. This year, it was Annie Get Your Gun. Dylan and I got to play an on-stage couple: Tommy Keeler and Winnie Tate, the knife-throwing team. I also got to do some choreography again this year, which warmed me up for my role as co-choreographer (alongside my sister) for the next production of My Fair Lady in 2015. I am so lucky to be able to have such amazing opportunities to be on stage!
May: I chopped all of my hair off and was able to support Dylan as he completed is B.A. 4-yr Honours Degree (2 completely unrelated things). Such a proud day!
June: I got to see my "baby" cousin and Dylan's little brother graduate from high school! I also got to go see Michael Bublé in concert. What a night!
July: According to my pictures, I did a lot of canoeing at the lake and swimming in my hometown neighbours' pool. I got to support some of my closest friends' band, and we got started on the play that took place in November.
August: Lots happened in August! More time at the lake and a long-awaited trip to Minot. My sister got engaged in the middle of the month and I was able to take my dad to a football game, to cheer for his favourite team (who happened to win that one...and then didn't win many others after that)!
September: Got started singing with my all-time favourite choir once again and I met some new kittens! I also got to start a new school year with my classmates.
October: Got to be an extra in a movie, had Thanksgiving dinner in the field, turned 22, and carved pumpkins! I also started my 3rd student teaching placement.
November: I finished my placement in the middle of the month and performed in play by the end of the month. The play was overwhelmingly successful and we could not have asked for a better run!
Now, we come to December. So far, I have been finishing up my school work. I have also taken on the job of being in charge of organizing the Christmas Eve service that I have been attending and singing in every year for 16 years. I can only guess that my Christmas is going to be a spectacular one and that yours will be, too.
Looking at this list, as I mentioned, reminds me of how truly blessed I am. I am now looking forward to 2015 and wondering how I will be feeling as I look back on this blog a year from now!
