Two-thousand and eighteen was a really big year. A LOT of big changes happened and I want to record them here so that I can keep it all straight. The older you get, the more that memories seem to run together over the years and something that happened 10 years ago feels like just yesterday.
January We kicked off the new year with a trip to San Francisco. Our flight was delayed because the de-icing truck ran into the side of the plane at 4:00 am, so we spent the entire day at the KC airport waiting for our 3:00pm flight. We lost an entire day in San Fransisco, which we were very sad about. But the NYE concert in Oakland was so fun! We saw Primus and the night ended with a balloon drop. The next day we were so tired that we watched Black Mirror in the hotel room and ordered take-out, instead of sight-seeing. February Went to OKC to visit the Joyces, it was a just-for-fun girls-only weekend and we had a blast going to junk shops and getting coffee. March Went to KC to see the Royals Easter weekend...it was the coldest baseball game I have ever tried to watch and we only made it through a couple of innings before we were just too cold to stay and we went back to the hotel. April Went to the MAEA conference in Branson with my BFF, Leslie. It was such a memorable, fun trip. Also, we celebrated my birthday in Springfield. Finally, we went back to OKC (we had originally planned a camping trip but the weather wasn't looking good so we canceled it last minute). Almost every weekend we were out of town as we also went back to KC for another event with friends at the end of the month. May Saw Justin Timberlake in concert in Tulsa, bucket list! Got everyone together for a road trip to San Antonio. It was so hot, but it was so fun! June Got all of the adults together for a couples-only trip to Mexico. We stayed at an all-inclusive resort and had the time of our lives. So many fun memories: snorkling, seasickness, hiking in Yelapa, taco tour in Puerto Vallartae! July My aunt drove in from KY for a visit. We celebrated our anniversary in Springfield and then Jeremy had a hip replacement and was home from work for 3 weeks. It was rough at first, but it was nice to relax together. August I started a new job in a new school district! Also, I started back at MSSU taking master's level painting classes. Lots of changes this month in my routine and daily experiences. September We travelled to Montana for my great-grandma's 100th birthday. (another post about this later!) October/November These two months felt busy, but we actually slowed down a little bit after all the traveling we had done earlier this year. The only out-of-town trip was back to OKC for Friendsgiving in November. December We celebrated Christmas with a Mexico-themed party and we celebrated NYE with our friends at an 80s themed party. We watched a lot of Karate kid in preparation for our NYE outfits. It was an awesome and busy year!
