In February, something wonderful happened! I won a trip to a ranch in Montana! My mother and I went from February 6 to 9 (which meant that I missed the Packers winning the Super Bowl). It was WONDERFUL! We went dog-sledding and did archery. We even went zip-lining in the Rocky Mountains during a snow storm, how cool is that? It was all expenses paid so we didn't have to worry about anything.
Other than that, I was supposed to move to Chicago in August for Graduate School. However, I had to defer due to financial reasons (a.k.a. no co-signer for my loans). To be honest, that was the only time I've come close to depression. I was so excited to be going and then it all came crashing down.
On a brighter note, I did reconnect with my best friend from 5th grade through high school, Laura! After a day it was as if nothing had changed. After a month we had matching tattoos and even tried to dye our hair the same color (which was alcohol related). It's been fun...
