A year at a glance

Well here it is, the end of the year and I can hardly believe all the changes that have taken place. So in true Nicci form I'm giving you a list of twelve things that have taken place in my life in 2007....

1. January started with a trip to Sierra Leone where I learned more about me than I thought I would in a short period of time. More then ever am I sure that I am in love with Africa.

2. February I met Ryan Thomas Neace and took a stab at teaching 7th grade.

3. March I got sick and had to come home to the states.

4. April decided I was going to move to Nashville.

5. May had some hard times, was real sick, witnessed a girl die, prepared myself to move across the US. Found out I was officially allergic to wheat and gluten.

6. June found a job in Nash, enjoyed my last summer as a Cali resident, worked hard and took on a personal trainer.

7. July drove across country, had my first 4th of July in Nashville and missed the hell out of my family and friends in CA.

8. August Rene moved to Nashville (BFFs reunited!!) found a great church, settled into my job, got my barrings in Nash and soaked up the fact that I was going to continuously run into people like Cheryl Crowe and Chris Rice cause that's just how it is in the ville.

9. September had the most hectic work month of my life, thought of quiting a million and a half times, found an apartment with Rene!

10. October Ryan and I take the next step in our dating relationship, a bit more committed.
Saw So You Think You Can Dance at the Sommet Center and LOVED it!

11. November spent Thanksgiving in Illinois. The intensity of work finally calmed down. Prepared for the fams visit in December.

12. December had my first family Christmas in Nashville. Got some amazing presents. and most importantly I GOT ENGAGED!!!!!!!

so there it is...can't wait for 2008. Blessings.
