I went to Austin to visit Lauren and Jamie and to celebrate Jamie graduating with her PhD! I had such a fun time!<br />
<br />
I flew to Austin on Thursday to hang out with Lauren before the graduation festivities. We spent lots of time at Abel's, watching soccer, playing old school video games, and turtle racing.<br />

My niece Kaitlin and I have a long history of taking great pictures together! <br />

But recently, I thought we were getting better at taking pictures together! Here Kaitlin decided she wanted to be like her cool aunt Ray and carry my purse! So sweet and cute right? But it was way too heavy for her so she decided to drag it around the driveway. Awesome. THEN she decided she wanted to dress like me and put on the same shirt! Progress!! <br />

The highlight of our trip was when we when Stand Up Paddle boarding (or SUP boarding as now we are experts in this field). It is much MUCH harder than it looks. My legs were so sore, I could barely walk down steps for days. I am so glad Dad and I got to do this together!<br />

I got back from a fun weekend in Knoxville to be welcomed back to crazy weather. I have said it before on this blog, but I hate severe weather. HATE IT! Usually severe weather season lasts from like March - May ish. Sadly, due to the spring like weather we have been having.... we have already had 2 tornado warnings this year! I spent the majority of Sunday night in my apartment's "safe spot." Random thought: I'm not sure how safe our "safe spot" is if we are still on the 3rd floor of our building. Anyway.... I slept a few short hours that night. What a way to start the week!<div><br /></div><div>Here we are in our "safe spot" which happens to be my roommates bathroom.

Maybe it was the lack of sleep from tornado sirens, or maybe it is just hard work. I LOVE my job and am so thankful to have a job. But it was a tough week. But Friday at school we had a really fun day. The second grade classes always put on a Chinese New Year parade for the school, and they asked me to be in it! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! All the second grade classes made props for the parade and they threw out candy for the rest of the grades who came to watch! I seriously had the best time! I may have been quoted after the parade saying "it was the highlight of my week!"

I have lived in 4 different places in 2011 (but all in the Nashville area). I wish I was joking, but I never really unpacked at any place this year. I lived out of boxes and it was a little tough for me to feel settled. I am very happy to say that while most of my stuff is still in storage, I am unpacking my boxes in my new place with my new roommate. </li></ul><div><br /></div><ul><li>I graduated from grad school! And then I spent the summer waiting and stressing and looking for jobs. I found an old blog entry from this summer that I never posted on my thoughts on "waiting." This year was a year of waiting and God taught me so much through it. Hopefully I will get the nerve one day to post my entire blog entry on waiting. But the short version is the struggle made me dive deeper in my faith. At times I was so frustrated and mad that I didn't want to pray or read my bible. But Jesus brought me out of a tough situation, and closer to Him. What I learned was that this situation was not about me. The purpose of waiting is Jesus, and the work of waiting is worship (I read that once somewhere and I wish I could remember where and give them credit). </li></ul><div><br /></div><ul><li>I also had a transition of being a full time counselor at a school. I'm not sure I can accurately describe this change; it has to be experienced. People who work in a school have a common bond and a mutual understanding (It's kinda like how I didn't think the tv show "The Office" was funny until I worked in a business office). It was a little overwhelming and exhausting at first, but I never thought I would be able to love 600 kids so much! I am so thankful for my job and my school. I never thought I would meet such amazing co-workers who stay at school until 10:30pm on a Saturday night to help me bubble in TCAP scantrons. It was a huge change and a big transition this year for me!</li></ul><div><br /></div><ul><li>UT sports are going through lots of change and transition. That's really all I can say without getting too sad about all the changes. But I sure had some great times with Amy and Kory at UT functions in 2011!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKUZdlrtpE9zskZ2UvAG0Fwai2t6j8yOXgOu-2fJ6f5g8quV1U6WnRfKgog4-1NiAodzVGw6oQMYqPFDt69Mla0g7a_NZFSxyi2XpxBVGzFJOMKmjTbJpeNHP9zWSMLfBl8nb4Gh0yMHE/s320/IMG_3496.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693265787787963586" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></li><div>Most people don't like change, but I learned this year that change may not always be bad. The changes and transitions of my life this year were really hard, but they taught me so much. Looking back on 2011, I am thankful for the one thing that is constant in my life. God is the same yesterday, today, forever. So here we are 2012. It's going to be a great year! </div></ul></div>Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18188733597425409603noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6370874365236694767.post-91194356179885787922012-01-01T23:34:00.020-06:002012-01-02T00:29:15.905-06:002011 in pictures<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2K9-DJjy4SV0Z6uHctXDRQJsvpqMBoFarS5E5snBrS0JCPMkY7VjD2BMFR8C38EGWQ2_J5ADpclkfPXa5SF9r7b3ADpeIl_WAdnj_OdW4_Ck1wVLBWFi6dfmBnyLz-RMDsxo57PYoKRg/s1600/IMG_3157.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a>One of the reasons I have this blog, is to help me document memories from the year!
