Well I'll hit the highlights starting off where I left off.
In March of last year I got a new job! Yay! I'm still working at the College just in a different school. It's a lot more responsibility but it's more money, I'm on salary and get benefits so that's pretty sweet! And the majority of the people that I work with are pretty great, which is also a plus in any job.
Chris and I went to the annual Greek Festival in May here in Charleston.
Also in May my oldest niece Gabby graduated from high school, so of course I feel old (but not as old as my sister hahahaha).
I applied to grad school with the University of Florida and was accepted. I am now working on my Masters in Art Education degree! It's pretty exciting. It's all online and I'm really enjoying the courses. So much in fact that I've got all A's and my current GPA is a 3.78! I KNOW IT'S CRAZY! I'm pretty proud of myself. I was even invited to join an honors society. So that was really cool.

In October I shot the Charleston Habitat for Humanity Builder Bash event.

I also created a logo for my Photography business. It looks really good.
One of my best friends, Stephanie, got married in October! She had her bachelorette party here in Charleston. I was the photographer for the wedding which was very sweet. It was a very special wedding. And I'm so happy for her!

For Thanksgiving Chris and I went to Albany as usual to spend with my parents. We had Gmommy as well which is always great. So we ate lots of food, played rummicube, and the men went golfing and took naps.
For Christmas I went to Albany to visit my parents. While I was there I got to spend some time with Brooke! It was awesome, we hadn't seen each other in a long time. I also got to see my girls at our annual dinner during Christmas break. I then went up to my sisters to have Christmas with them and the Smith family.
