2008 in pictures.

here's a review of my 2008 in pictures. i've seen this on a few other blogs- the idea is one picture per month, but sometimes one just isn't enough.

january:
i brought in 2008 on a trip to hawaii with my friend jill. it was incredible! in this picture we are at my favorite beach, bellows.also in january, i turned 21! :)

february:along with my 4 co-officers in phi lamb, i pulled off planning, hosting, and managing the budget for a weekend-long celebration of the sorority's 20th year of being around. this is me and my officer group with our board representative, ricci, after one of the events during the weekend.

march:

I GOT A DOG!! she's the sweetest little mini pin mix around. her name is andie. i adopted her in march and i love her. also in march, for spring break, my friend krystal and i made a list of things we had always wanted to do in austin, but hadn't yet. kayaking on town lake was a blast!

april:one of my favorite weekends in austin was full of friends. jill, who was living in colorado at the time, came to austin for a weekend and everyone had a ton of fun. this is elyse, jill, me, and krystal downtown after she had just gotten into town.

may:
in may, i finished my year of being of an officer for phi lamb. at our closing ceremonies, i read scripture and prayed over our new treasurer, andrea.

june:june brought summertime and my favorite grad students back to austin! my sister spends her summers in austin working on her masters at UT with her two friends lesley and bethany. my sister and i had our first experience being on 6th street together for bethany's bachelorette party.

july:my first july 4th in austin was great! the boys grilled burgers and hot dogs and then we sat on a balcony at city hall to watch the town lake fireworks.

also in july, i spent a day on lake georgetown with a bunch of friends boating, tubing, and watching some wakeboard.on the last day of july, tanner dell antley made his way into the world and my sister and i hustled to houston to meet him.

august:i finished my second summer working with some awesome kiddos at girlstart!

september:i started my last year of college and had my last special meeting for phi lamb to get my last little sis. this is most of the seniors in phi lamb after that meeting.

october:
my sister, dad, and i pulled off an awesome surprise 50th birthday party for my mom in october! here she is just walking in. :)

november:
november started off with a bang! or more of a crash... i got in a wreck (not my fault) and was left driving a rental car for the rest of the month. lucy (my car) is back in good health though!my parents and i after i got my UT ring! hook em!

december:december brought the wedding of my sweet friend lauren. i've been so blessed to work with lauren and all the girls in this picture over the last 2 years.and finally, i finished off the year with a family trip to florida to visit my sister and brother-in-law. we spent a day at disneyworld :)
