2. began and ended three semesters of graduate school, over 25 hours of class
3. began and ended an internship at Children's Medical Center over 500 hours
4. ended my near-4 year employment with Child Protective Services
5. graduated from graduate school of social work (go mavericks - jk!)
6. studied and passed my licensing test to practice social work
7. applied for and obtained a social worker job at a clinic starting 2011
8. surprised by a beginning of a wonderful relationship
9. ended attending the Village Church and began Highland Park Presbyterian Church
10. began volunteering and leading a group of 7th graders at church
11. began living at the Vue with Woods/Zog/Brittain

... and the list goes on! There is MUCH to be thankful for. What a whirlwind these past three years have been. I'm thankful for such a rich community & a time of restoration (December). I hope to continue reflection of what has passed and all there is to come.
