March - New bangs, which didn't last long (they're just to hard to maintain!). A SCARY fall of a chairlift required a trip to the Ski-Patrol. The ice on the dismount was too slick to maintain a turn. I thought for sure I had broken something or done serious damage. I couldn't get up on my own, but once I was up I was ok for the most part. Just some serious bruising.
April - The best news of the year for sure! Finding out that Jessica and Matt were expecting was an amazing gift. I found myself lucky to be able to be a fairy godmother to this little one!
May - One classroom to finish out the year. Starting of new woodworking adventures.
June - One killer road trip with the girls to the hottest area around. Literally with 120 degree temps we were practically melting.
July - TRAC 2017 the year of Jonah and the Whale! It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Miller Family BBQ 2017. Got to finally meet Nikki and Kenny's youngest, Levi! He's such a ham! Even though it took him a while to warm up we got to spend some quality time with them. Hopefully Kenny will be able to be there too!
August - This month brought a change in relationship status, the beach and two concerts! Kenny Loggins at the Oregon State Fair and One Republic and Fitz & The Tantrums at the #thenamechangesconstantlyhowcanikeeptrack Ampitheater!
September - Baby shower and a trip to Kurious!

The end of September brought a GREAT trip to Disneyland with Emily!
