The Countdown is ON!

The countdown is officially on! Only 13.5 days of school left of the school year! My the year has flown (except for these last few weeks!). This got to me to thinkin': I need to find something memorable that happened every month of the school year! So here it goes:

August: First Day of School and looking forward to a great new year at school!

September: My volleyball team competed well in our first volleyball tournament while Michael's cross country teams racked up 1st places in all their CC meets.

October: We attended our first Oktoberfest in Fredricksburg. It was amazing! We had such a great time, even though I had walking pneumonia, at the Fest as well as our quaint B&B we stayed in! We have decided that Oktoberfest will happen every year in the Kunkel family!

November: We traveled all the way to Lubbock to meet up with some great friends for their wedding! Michael's cross country team made it to regionals also.

December: We were able to witness Brownwood make a deep run in the football playoffs. We got to visit our wonderful families at Christmas and got to spend a great Christmas vacation with each other! I enjoyed my first trip to Canton and I cannot wait to go back! One of my best friends, Malissa, gave birth to Baby Myla! My basketball team got first place in our own Brownwood tournament.

January: We purchased our new home in Brownwood! Pics to come soon!

February: We were snowed/iced in for almost a whole week! Crazy how three days can change in a blink of an eye!

March: Although Michael and I did not have the same Spring Breaks, we were able to spend time with each other. The Bluebonnet Relays came and went. We earned 1st place at our first track meet.

April: Attended my Great Uncle & Great Aunt's 50th wedding anniversary. The in-laws went to Thorndale with us for Easter to visit my entire family. Made our first trip to Green's Sausage House in Zabcikville - we will be returning very soon!!! My track season came to an end. Michael's track season was extended because some of their athletes made it to the state track meet! We signed contracts to be able to work again next year! MAJOR stress lifted off of our shoulders!

May: The official countdown to summer began! Michael is graduating from Tarleton with his Master in Kinesiology on May 14. I'm so proud of him! My brother from another mother, Matthew Galbreath, is marrying his lady love, Marsha. I get to take my Student Council kiddos to Fiesta Texas. May 28th - LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! :)
