2008!

January:
Became better friends with my best friends. Spent New Years in FL with Jesse and friends. Played (and won) many poker games and drunkenly broke bottles on the kitchen floor. Returned to Chicago, Jesse joined me and kept me company in the wintery wonderland for about two weeks. First visit to the emergency room for my heart.

February:
Started spring semester. Hated color processing for about three weeks. Became friends with Alex and Dani. Thought I was going to die at Lisa's apt when gunshots were fired. $28 cab ride for free because i was just that drunk.

March:
Cardiologist #1 and EP study #1. First successful ablation and hospital stay. Took a 6 hour train ride all the way to Pontiac Michigan to meet up with Band Marino. Spent 2 days with the boys before we reached my apartment in Chicago. Busted my ass 3 or 4 times on the ice.

April:
Pissed off a lot of people at work. Almost got fired for booking a plane ticket home for spring break without asking for time off. One week in Orlando was all I needed. Decided to move home from Chicago at the end of the semester. Became even better friends with Alex and Dani.

May:
Made my first photo book. Said goodbye to Alex Dani Jeremy and Lisa. Cried a lot. Packed up. Quit my job. Moved home. Dylon and Ruthie's wedding.

June:
Turned 22. Road trip to a Cabin in the mountains of NC for Jesse and I's one year anniversary. Got a job, spent too much time inside.

July:
40s on the fourth. Got mad. Got over it. Nathan and Anna get hitched. Met Shawn. Stress test, ultra sound, blood work. cyst ruptured. thyroid disease.

August:
EP study and Ablation #2. Started DSC. New Camera.

September:
Hated school, bought my own car, hated my job but loved my life.

October:
Found my niche in photography. Super Tuesday Ladies night. Conflict resolved. Hugged a giraffe. Pebbles and bam bam for halloween.

November:
First holiday season home. Awkward thanksgiving. Pet a cow. Lost my mind.

December:
Finals. Finally a good photography review. Portfolio night. First Christmas move marathon-hated it. Georgia & Uncle Jesse. Smokey New Years.

Other than all of the health problems, 2008 was great!
