12 Days of 2011

I have been inspired by several friends who have used the "12 Days of Christmas" to review their year. Here on this 12th day of Christmas I would like to share my review of 2011.

12 plus sermons
One of the best gifts of internship was getting in the habit of writing sermons...and I know I wrote more than 12!

11 papers written
Once I was back to school the paper writing began again...I would much rather write a sermon!

10 cupcakes eaten
My greatest discovery in DC was cupcakes and I made sure to share my new found love with plenty of visiting friends!


9 hour bus ride
At the end of Internship I took the Megabus for 9 hour to Boston, MA and then took the train to Gloucester, MA where I spent a week vacationing by myself!


8 days of mission
In July I led a group from DC to the Lake Traverse Reservation in SD for a mission trip...It was a wonderful time!


7 months in DC
I successfully completed my Internship in DC during July...and am thankful for the wonderful memories I created and people I met!


6 grad school classes
In December I added 6 more completed courses to my seminary transcript...only 4 more to go!

5 K complete
In May I completed the Susan G. Komen 5K walk...and even jogged across the finish line. Take that cancer!


4 airplane tickets
Throughout the year I flew to Birmingham, AL to visit a friend who was doing her internship there, South Dakota for our mission trip, Denver, CO to visit a friend from college, and back to South Dakota for Christmas!


3 regions preferenced
In December I submitted my paperwork for Assignment in the ELCA...which allowed me to preference 3 regions of the country. In February I will find out where I am headed!

2 friends engaged
This fall two of my greatest friends at seminary got engaged -- to each other! I am so excited for their wedding this coming summer.


1 Starbucks gold card
In July I managed to achieve GOLD status at Starbucks...which really just means I drink too much coffee and get some perks!

Wishing you the greatest 12th day of Christmas and a blessed 2012!
