unraveling months

Where has time gone?

These past few months seem like a jumble of memories, events, 

happenings, that have compiled together and are in desperate 

need of some attention. So I thought I would give a quick 

low down of some of the things Taylor and I have been up to.

Sadly I have to recap not on weeks but on months,

so bear with me.

January

The beginnings of a new adventure for me, 

my internship/job at New Haven. 

Let me just tell you, a residential treatment center is 

literally a life changing experience not only for the patients

but for employees like me. 

I have had countless opportunities to reevaluate my own personal

struggles and have gained so much knowledge from these insightful, 

incredibly intelligent young people (girls) who 

have pushed me, tested my boundaries, and have 

trusted me from day one. 

I have finally discovered what brings me joy, what excites me 

and what I am passionate about.

I have never felt more secure in my major (Psychology) since I 

took on this internship. 

As taxing and draining as the job can get, 

at the end of the day, I am really grateful for my experiences 

there and the people. Taylor has been such an amazing 

support through it all. He loves to hear my stories

and gets excited that I have finally found 

something that I really enjoy.

February 

Valentines day

Taylor took me out to Shoga Sushi 

I could not have been happier. 

It was such a romantic evening- beautiful aumbiance, 

we practically had the place to ourselves

(partly because we celebrated Valentines day 3 days early), 

we had such a great time catching up, laughing, 

and talking about our future.

 

 Afterward, Taylor surprised me with a little shopping spree

so we headed over to the mall after dinner.

We ended the evening just kickin' back at home

watching Lord of the Rings 

with a variety of treats we splurged on.

Fun night indeed. 

March

Taylor and I had cousins and my siblings over 

for dinner on Sunday. We made taco salad 

and had so much fun. 

There was lots of catching up, cracking jokes,

eating, and playing liars dice. 

Nothing like a good time with family!

 So good to have Parker back!

April

Ashley, my dear friend is getting married in May

and her bridal shower was hosted at 

Spark

Spark was the perfect location with it's 

modern vibe, flavorful (virgin) drinks, and 

fantastic service. 

Ashley was glowing! It was so nice to catch up with her

and experience her excitement. I loved being the 

only married friend there and filling her in with 

little details here in there. Being married is so great and

I am thrilled that her day is almost here.

Ashley is going to make one hot wifey! 

Winter semester is finally over- and boy does it feel good. 

Come spring, come summer and I'll be a graduate!
