Yikes...it's been over a year since I last posted. I also realized I really ramble A LOT.
2011 consisted of:
- Getting to know students and families better. My favorite.
- Settling into a church.
- Celebrating Chinese New Year for the first time. I finally learned the difference between fireworks and firecrackers.
- Hosting a visitor in Singapore for the first time - thanks for coming, Clarissa!
- Spending 5 weeks of summer in Wisconsin with family - I got to enjoy cool weather, driving, shopping at Target, people I love, and lots of dairy.
- Welcoming new teachers, staff, and students to our school.
- Surviving an outbreak of chickenpox among the students and my 28th birthday.
- Sharing in the weddings of several friends (the best excuse for buying dresses and eating cake) - congrats Zach & Janice and Stephen & Bea.
- Travelling to Bali and enjoying beautiful rice paddies, sunshine, and snorkeling.
- Completing my first half-marathon. I walked, but I finished!
- Christmas holiday/service trip in Boracay and Manila with three great friends (who else would endure my stressed out moments?).
And lots more.
2012 is off to a very full and blessed start, and I can only hope the rest of the year continues this way.
