by the grace of God, I have
- finished university classes, and graduated from the most excellent Great Books program I've ever encountered
- become engaged to the most wonderful man I know
- had the opportunity to fail something, and grow better from doing so
- married that wonderful man
- celebrated the new marriages of many close friends
- moved to a state which I had never visited before, and stepped into a new life as an Army wife
- become pregnant (due in May 2016)
