This week marked the end of my first year of employment at the main offices of the
Evangelical Covenant Church. It is semi-baffling that I have been here a whole year already. Much has happened...
- I have learned a completely new position in a brand-new work environment, with great colleagues who have become good friends
- I have traveled to work events in Wisconsin, Michigan, and the outer-regions of Illinois (with a trip to Atlanta coming up shortly)
- I have (almost) completed 10 more semester hours of graduate work at NPTS
- My nephew was born 11 months ago (wowzers!)
- I have been to 5 weddings of my good friends
- I have moved out of the basement apartment
- I have met and mingled with more Covenant pastors than I thought was ever possible
- I have eaten, with my colleagues, at Tapas Barcelona (twice), The Cheesecake Factory, Semiramis, Tre Kroner (on several occasions), Subway (quite regularly), The Pit (until I stopped eating meat), and a variety of catered meals of everything from Chicago-style pizza to ARA wraps
- I have encountered some great new friends and joined a new church
- I have baked more loaves of bread, cookies, muffins, brownies, and other manners of sugary goodness than I can possibly count.
While this may not seem like a long enough list, it sure has occupied my time over the last 12 months. A few of my favorite photos, as well:
