3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Not really close to me. Some friends that I used to work with at PCN had a few kids

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Graduating with my associates degree, #2 in the culinary class (oh, wait... first loser. Nevermind) and um,... surviving "normal kid classes" thus far. Oh, and getting the job in admissions that I've wanted for a year and a half!!
