2017 has come to a close. I do about the same thing every year. I am not much of a go out on the town kind of girl, rather I stay in and watch a countdown on TV. This year it is CNN with Anderson Cooper & Andy Cohen. As I watch the countdown, I am sitting on our living room couch, PJs on, journals on my lap, and the Google Photos app opened up on my phone. I reflect on the past year that I’ve had and adventures that I’ve been taken on. My year has seen:

  • ​Fun times & successes at work with good-bye parties, weddings, and the annual Gala
  • Work trip to Colorado. My aunt joined me and we took in a Denver Nuggets game, visited around Denver and Estes Park. We also saw Elk in Rocky Mountain National Park.
  • My health took a few turns and tried out two different new medications. (I go in Tuesday to see how my recent medication is doing)
  • Gave a speech to a group of young leaders in Dubuque.
  • I was able to hug my best friend again(!) and be a bridesmaid in her wedding! I spent lots of great times bonding with her family and created new friends!
  • Started this blog!!!!!
  • And probably THE BEST part of my 2017 was my trip to Greece. Check out our past blog posts for more about these trips! BUT I have to say that I recently thought of my Greece trip and I couldn’t believe that I had that experience. It will forever stay in my heart! THANK YOU AUNT LINDA!
  • Had fun on the river!
  • Shared yet another trip to Chicago and Wrigley Field for my birthday! #GoCubsGo
  • I spent time with my cousin and her adorable family in Chicago!
  • Watched lots of University of Dubuque sports!
  • Joined friends and family at an Iowa Hawkeye game. Go Hawks!
  • Met Matthew West and Leanna Crawford at their concert in Dubuque!
  • Lost a pet. RIP Stewart
  • My sister graudated college. There are now two UD grads in the house!

As you can see my 2017 was full of new adventures. I know that 2018 is going to have it’s own adventures! I must remember that each day is a new day. I have a list of 2018 to-dos that I hope will let me be a better and more whole me. I have trust in God and I know that He’ll give me grace!

My hope for you all of you is that you too become a better you and trust in yourself to have patience and grow.

Share with me what you experienced in 2017 and what you hope to encounter in 2018.
