2024 in review

Reflecting back on 2024...

Starting out very strong in January, Julia's dance team won the GOLD medal in Game Day...

and the SILVER medal in Pom at the UDA College National Dance Championships!! 

Then Nicholas won MVP at the year end banquet for the UofL hockey team...so very proud!!

Gianna turned 19...my last year having a teenager : (

We said Good Riddance to SHU which turned out to be a disaster of a freshman year for Gianna...

but GREATER things were in store!! Gianna transferred to Endicott and made the dance team!!!

Then Julia was chosen Captain of the dance team!!

We had a beautiful vacation in Cancun...and all the kids could join us this time...

Julia moved into her cozy on-campus apartment to begin her senior year of college...

and Gianna moved into her cozy dorm room for her sophomore year to began a fresh new start at college...what a difference a year makes!!!

Nicholas started his junior year at UofL and his third year playing college hockey...

Julia received her hard earned National Championship ring...

Gianna was truly happy again...

Nicholas had his first collegiate shut-out...

and earned himself the coveted game belt again...

and Julia had her very last football game : ( 

That was about it for what my Dad would call the "landmark" events. I'm so glad the year is over as it was quite rocky there for a few months, but we made it through as a family and Gianna is shining brightly again! 

As for me, I got a side hustle working for a neighbor and that has now turned into a full time job starting this month. I'll be keeping my other job as an hourly gig on the side. We'll see how it goes. Having three dependent college kids is a lot. 

I'm looking forward to 2025!! Exciting things are in store!!
