#OneWord2018


2017 showed me how much can change in a year.  Although the word change can have a negative connotation, I am very pleased with the changes that happened.

Big takeaways from 2017:
  • Moved back to Ohio in August.   I love being closer to family and college friends.
  • Started a new teaching job.  I continue my journey teaching all day Kindergarten at a brand new school.  I loved seeing the new building come together.  This school year has been nothing short of amazing and I am so happy where I'm at.
  • Graduated with my masters degree in literacy from the University of Dayton.  Go Flyers!
  • Traveled to Los Angeles, North Myrtle Beach, Wrightsville Beach, Delray Beach, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Phoenix.
                                                      
Moving forward, my #oneword2018 is present.

Present in 2018:

I completed my masters degree in a year and a half, which means 2017 was devoted to working hard in order to achieve that goal. Since I finished my masters degree in December, I now have much more free time, especially on nights and weekends.   I want to spend more time with family and friends as well as make time to do things I love such as traveling.  I also will hit pause more frequently to remind myself to live in the moment and not always feel on the go.

2017 was a positive year overall and I am excited to see what 2018 will bring!
