Hi everyone-or mom and the few others that read this. I was catching up on all my friends' blogs and noticed how long it had been since I last posted. Has it really been that long?!? Kind of freaks me out.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and planning lately and it really does scare me how fast things come and go. I'm looking at all the plans Gregg and I have for this year and it kind of doesn't seem possible. Here's a quick synopsis of what's to come:
March 7: Midterm review for my student teaching-YIKES! Yes I've been doing student teaching with an SLP in an elementary school for a little more than a month. It's been a very huge learning experience but at the same time makes me really worried. There are so many holes in my learning-I have no idea how to choose goals and no clue how to implement them, especially when you have a group of 3-6 students all with different goals. I'm not getting us much guidance as I had hoped and definitely just feel for the first time how important it is to "fake it til ya make it." That is the SLP motto. Still overwhelming.
April 1-Graduate project is due. HA! I've barely started my lit review and I'm really struggling in choosing what to include and my supervisor is MIA giving no feedback so again, overwhelming.
May 25-GRADUATION!!! Insane to think about it being for real this time...and the final graduation I will have to endure. So weird!!
June-Moving-not sure to where yet but in the LA area closer to job opportunities for Gregg (be praying-he has an interview tomorrow-first one in like a year).
July-Graduation trip. We were planning on London and still hoping for that but we may just do NY instead.
August-Danielle's bridal shower
September-Fingers crossed to starting on my CFY-clinical fellowship year
October 9-Danielle and Steven get married. We'll be in OR for a week for all the festivities. Can't wait!
After that, Gregg and I hope to start a family, Lord willing...birth or adoption are both acceptable options.
And then we're already into the holidays again. All seems so far off, but seeing how much happened since my last post-OY!!
I also wanted to share that I will be taking part in the Walk to End Alzheimer's in Huntington Beach on November 5th with Gregg, my dear friend Kristin and I'm on the search for at least two more participants and looking for contributions as well. If you feel compelled, please go to

You can register to join our team (Lovin Lloyd) or you can donate to me (Elizabeth Oelker) or to Gregg Oelker or to Kristin Usilton. Or simply copy this link to your blog or facebook or send emails to your friends and help me recruit. Or just pray for us. Whatever you can do! Gregg recently lost his grandpa who had been battling Alzheimer's for a decade so this is very important to me. Watching what Alzheimer's does just sucks and I want to be a part of the solution and help with research and awareness. Thanks all of you reading this :)
