2012! Doesn't that just sound like a "in the future" type of date??? My children one day are going to think I am SO old when I tell them I was born in the 1900's!
This year has been amazing, and very much event filled. The one word i could summarize this year up with is CHANGE. Change is the one thing in life I struggle the most with, and do not handle it very well. I have to say, I think I have gotten a lot better at it this year. Here is the top 14 most memorable/ life changing events of the year (in no particular order)!
1. I went to Disney World... twice! Once with a group of amazing girls, and then again in the summer with my wonderful family!!
2. While keeping my brothers for a week.... Carson busted his head opem and I got the pleasure of taking him to get stitches! I think it was a life changing day!
3. Sigma Alpha Omega won SECOND PLACE in the homecoming competition, that I got the pleasure of being chair of. I then got to go on the football field during halftime... AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
3. I had a new addition to my life... LOVE MY BIKE, and all the adventure we have been on together! : )
4. Janna, Michelle, and Trent... GRADUATED! Janna and Michelle from High School, and Trent from elementary school. Michelle then moved to Virginia! : ( This year with her as a Ellinwood, was amazing. So blessed that our family is ALWAYS growing....
5. Cancer took Ms. JoAnnes life.... Hardest part of the year.... but thankful for the twenty years she influenced me! LOVE HER, and can't wait to see her in Glory!!
6. My Papa both got and got rid of Cancer. PRAISE THE LORD!! I loved being able to celebrate it at Relay for Life. I also was chair of this event for Sigma Alpha Omega...such a honor.
7. I WENT TO AFRICA!!!!! Best part of the year!!!
8. We gained another Ellinwood ....JORDAN ELLINWOOD BUTLER!! By far, she is the most hilarious sibling!!!! It has been sooo great to grow closer to her. At the beginning of 2012, she moved out of our house... but she will forever be part of our family!

9. One of my favorite days of 2011! Kristie, Michelle, Janna, and I spent the entire day together... having picnics and playing in mud, just like the good 'ol days!! We rarely get to all be together...so it was a special time!
10. I was chosen to be on the executive board of Sigma Alpha Omega. Exec. went on a leadership weekend to Georgia... it was SO BEAUTIFUL!
11. My family moved. I DID NOT handle this change very well, and definitely owe my parents a big apology for my awful attitude. Leaving the house we grew up in , and the best place ever (WEEKSVILLE) to the city (gross) in the church parking lot.... NOT easy.... But I am so thankful for parents who follow the Lords plan. He is always so faithful to us.
