A New Year and Another Year Older

This year started off with a bang. I returned from Christmas break with no delays and ready to bring in the New Year. This year is not far along, but it has already been a great year!

I started with a New Year’s celebration here in Monroe. I feel that this holiday is always one that I get so excited for and have all these ideas of what I want to do to bring in the New Year and I always end up enjoying it with friends and having a great night right where we hang out any other night. A perfect way to start 2014.
 

 

The best part about January is that it is my birthday month. Although some people do not agree with celebrating all month, I take full advantage of it and love every minute of it. I started my birthday early, by having a visitor fly into town to celebrate with me. Andrea was able to take off work and head this way. We started in Shreveport, doing all the sight seeing we could before the rain began. Throughout the weekend we were able to have pedicures, basketball games, food, drive thru daiquiris, Duck Dynasty, and lots of laughs and memories. It was so nice to get to see her and enjoy some girl time during my birthday week. After a busy weekend, I enjoyed a nice laid back actual birthday, watching my favorite movies and enjoying my favorite supper!

 

                                          

            

                          

 

 

                                                                                                                                                                          

 The most exciting part of this new year is a decision I have been planning for awhile and it finally has come true. I decided and was accepted into the Graduate Program at ULM. I am looking forward to this opportunity and hope that within two years I will be graduating with my Master’s degree. I never thought this was something I would want to do, but being a part of the college atmosphere has got me back on track and ready to do this!

 

I have already have had such a great year and cannot wait for what is to come!!
