somewhere between practical and "who's your daddy?"
Ever just have one of those moments when you feel the need to look thru your photo albums for the one-hundred-millionth time? I get em a lot, not because I'm stuck in the past or because I'm sad or anything...simply because I LOVE my memories so much.
I was looking back on this past year & thinking about all the things that have happened since last Christmas break. I am so lucky. God has blessed me with these amazing, beautiful, totally & wonderfully imperfect people to love and battle with, to have fun with and be frustrated with and be hurt by and loved by, all at different times & for different amounts of time. And what I am especially thankful for is that there are so many of of them. And I dunno, it just fills my heart up to think of them all, to look at their pictures and remember, even the not-so-good times. It makes me really excited to see what this new year is going to bring in the way of adventures and friendships and everything.
While this has been a great semester, I can't say I am not ready for a change. I can't stick with the same classes, the same routine for long before I get restless. The only thing sad about leaving this semester is that several girls I think are awesome are leaving IU.... :( 2 of my roomies, ashley & meredith...and then my maddie mae too. I will miss all 3 so very much. But I can't be selfish and keep all the cool people to myself. I luv you girls!!!
Sometimes change brings about really great things, and I kinda need that. This semester has, in all honesty, been one of the tougher times in my life. There have been so many times in the past couple months that I've needed hugs...the big huge bear-like extra strength, long lasting hugs. And lucky for me, 90% of those times God put some great people there to give them to me when I needed them.
So yeah....
its been a weird, crazy year,losing people, gaining people, getting sick, taking trips to Atlanta, standing on ANDREW WK'S STAGE, a marine graduation at Parris Island, SC,hanging out at the KDC, growing closer to God, growing closer to new people, building on my life here at IU, building on my relationships with people at home, hey...we even captured saddam, which was weird. I just feel like God pushed me this semester, and looking back on it, I want to grow from it all. I don't make New Year's resolutions anymore...those to me are just little lists you post on the fridge for a week and then throw away...but of course, I will have some goals & I'll let you know all about em later.
g'night!
