Reflections on Being 24

This year has been incredible.
Incredibly significant.
Incredibly sad.
Incredibly exciting.
Incredibly romantic.
Incredibly wild.
Incredibly incredible.

Last year, I had the best birthday ever on the heels of visiting Philadelphia and performing in Duofest. My life was about to change. I thought I was going to quit my job for grad school.


Turns out, I quit my job for an incredible job. Look how happy I am with my new job.
in DC
in Vietnam
in Tahlequah

in China
I went on several personal trips this year for awesome reasons.
Clemson Homecoming
Homecoming with my favs

Ben and Adrienne's SC wedding


Florida for Thanksgiving
(I was pregnant here and didn't know it)
Christmas in Kentucky with the Buckleys


Second City mainstage show

Florida to celebrate the baby coming


I had the most incredible improv year of my life.
my favorite show we've had
Jazz Lab Show

I taught classes in Oklahoma City
killed our show in my old stomping grounds at NCCAF


I had a silly handful of times. I cried a few times. I screamed with excitement a few times.

This year has been the craziest year of my life. I've changed.

I've gone from librarian to international recruiter. From skinny to pregnant. From depressed to satisfied. From lonely to loved. From poor to not poor. From oblivious to aware.

It's the year I grew up. I'll remember my 24th year forever.
It's the year I landed my best job yet.
It's the year we could afford 12 trips.
It's the year we found out that cancer can come back. Can come back worse.
It's the year we concieved our first child.
It's the year I was my funniest.
It's the year I went on my first international trip(s).
It's the year I got my own staff.
It's the year I both lost 10 pounds and gained 25.
It's the year I rebuilt my relationship with my sister.
It's the year.

And now it's over. What the heck will come from this next year?
