These have been very interesting to read. Here's my list.

1. My grandpa passed away on Dec 12th. His memorial service was this morning.

2. Eric and I (and the pets!) moved to Denver.

3. I decided I wanted to be a teacher.

4. I got accepted to a master's of education program.

5. I got a job I love- teaching piano lessons!

6. My mom and I visited Ireland in March and had a very fun time.

7. We got 2 more pets, Vallis and Pippin.

8. Eric got his first "real" job after graduating from college.

9. I guess it doesn't matter now that I am going into education, but I was rejected from the Phd programs in experimental/cognitive psychology I applied to. I spent a lot of time and money on applications, buying a suit, and getting to my interviews. I was pretty crushed when that last rejection came.

10. My "hometown" (Iowa City, IA) had a big tornado in April. We were lucky and didn't get hit, but downtown is no longer the same.
