October:
-Lots of fun!
-Dressed as refs for Halloween to stick it to Adam Weeks- he found it very funny:)
-Began to get a new vision for my life that scared me, but excited me at the same time. Maybe no more seminary?
November:
-Semester got REALLY hard at school
-Worked and pretty much did school
-Thanksgiving break- got to see family that I hadn't seen in a year bc of being in Louisiana last year
-Still was contemplating whether I'd do seminary next semester.
December:
-Everything was due for school the first week
-Finals
-Got all A's!
-Christmas- saw family, family, and more family
-Most recently reconnected with some old friends...including some from waaaaay back when.
-I am so happy.
Overall, this year has been full. I had a relationship that I thought was really strong and would last forever, but I lost myself in the process. I blame myself for that, and I believe that I have myself back now. I learned a great deal from that relationship about myself and about trust, and I still value his presence in my life as my friend. After that relationship ended I really didn't know what to do with myself, so I buried myself in school, but somewhere along the way God blessed me with my incredible friends now. They have no idea how much I needed them when they came along but I am so grateful. I've grown up a lot in the past year, mostly in the past semester, and I feel so much like a big girl now:). I have a lot of HUGE decisions coming my way...camp, then the world is wide open. For now, seminary is on hold and I will figure out if that's supposed to permanent or not as it comes. God is good, even though I tried to run away for a while. I'm anxious to see what will happen in the next year!
