Closing Time

 

Where do I begin?  This year has been such an incredible one filled with so many great memories and experiences for me and my family.  This year was filled with so many achievements and opportunities that helped me grow along the way.

I graduated from high school and took a big step by choosing a school away from home. mass 9

I spent a week in San Diego at a conference for Invisible Children, an organization that I am incredibly passionate about. It has given me the opportunity to meet so many amazing people from all over and do what I love.

In August I ran the Lizzie Stratton Memorial 5k with my family. I had never ran more than a mile but I was able to run 3 with my mom, Jackson and Caden. (Liam and Payton and too fast for us)

I finished my first semester of college with great new friends. Sarah is one of the reasons I survive being away from home. I’m not sure what I would do with out her!

I have continued to pursue photography and this year I did a wedding for my beautiful cousin Jade and her husband Curt.

2011 was a great year and I was able to end it with my family. We spent our weekend in Omaha and I can’t think of anywhere else I would have wanted to be.

We spent our first night at an outdoor skating rink together after dinner.

Walking back to the hotel the boys found an outdoor fireplace to warm them up.

The rest of our weekend we spent at museums or lounging around the hotel.

Every year I hope that at the end, I can look back and know that I have grown and made memories and this year I can honestly say that I have. I have a greater appreciation for my family and the time that I have with them, the education that I receive and the friends that support me day to day.

Blessings to everyone and may this year be filled with love, faith and great memories to share!
