January
In January William and I were settling into our first "home". On January 25th William was offered a job with Halliburton! This lifted a huge weight off of our shoulders. I also started my practicum at Big Spring Elementary. I loved it, but at the time had no intentions of working in the public schools (go figure).
February
In February I started my job search. On February 11 we (Jonna, Bryan, William and I) experienced our first "big" snow when 9 inches fell on Dallas in a day. It was during our snowed in vacation that I started growing the dream of owning a D-SLR camera!
In March our brother and sister in law got married. I bought my first SLR. William also started his job. We moved into our first apartment (that we both played a part in picking). I also took my COMPS/Praxis exams for my SLP certification.
April
In April I found out I passed COMPS and Praxis and finished up my last semester of graduate school. I continued my job search and missed William while he was at work for most of the month.
May
In May I graduated from graduate school with my Master's in Speech Pathology. My dad bought me a new D-SLR and I have since become a better photographer (than him). :)
June
In June I started my first jobs. William also got his wisdom teeth out.
July
In July I got rid of one job and got another one. William got his first promotion. I started a running program. Our bay house was also finished in July!
August
In August the most notable event was starting work in Richardson. William continued to work for Halliburton away from home.
September
In September we had friends down to our bay house for the first time! It was a blast. We planned on making it a yearly thing, but Troy and Chelsea decided to ruin it by getting married Labor Day 2011.
October
In October we had a pumpkin carving contest and celebrated Colin's birthday. My dad also turned 50!
In November William got orders to report to Fort Huachuca. So the day after Thanksgiving we started our trek to Tucson. We celebrated our 1st Anniversary at a Tucson mall for dinner and a movie.
I also ran my second 5K in November.
December
In December I ran a leg of the White Rock Marathon. I still haven't done a post about that... but I ran the last 5.2 miles of the marathon for my team. It was a lot of fun and I feel like it was a big accomplishment. Especially since I hadn't run that far before. I finished up the last few weeks of school and rushed home to wait for William to head home.
I'm going to do a different post on our Holidays... but they were fun but like always a whirlwind.
All in all it was a good year. I feel like beginning my love for photography and running are things that will carry on for many years to come.
I can't wait to see what this next year has in store.
Happy New Year!
