College Happenings

What a difference a year makes.

Last year this time, I was just starting this blog.  I was preparing to graduate and move on to an exciting career in journalism.

I remember reading my horoscope at the beginning of 2006.  It said something like big new changes are coming your way.  I just knew it meant I was going to land some great job and become a great writer and make some money.

Instead, I began to feel queasy.  I remember taking a trip to Big Sky to see my good friends and go skiing.  I woke up the morning I was to lay my first tracks on Big Sky mountain, I thought the naseau was due to my nerves, but nope.

After a day of skiing and feeling like crap, Chris and I headed home to the Bitterroot.  A trip to the grocery store and like 5 pregnancy tests later, I realized I was pregnant. 

This was not the big change I expected.  Fortunately my perfect man was totally excited.  I was totally depressed and dreaded telling my parents. 

My parents were happy and excited and didn’t even mention that I wasn’t married.

Nine exhausting, sickly months later, a miracle.  The best change I never knew I wanted.

And being the trend setter that I am (ha) six of my friends have since become in a family way.

2006 will always be a big year for me to look back on.  We shall see what changes 2007 has to bring.

I do know that I will soon become Mrs. Perfect man.  That is one change to look forward to.

Happy New Year everyone.
