Generally, I am filled with the Joy of Christ

Soooo maybe an update?
Got back from Florida...I love my G-ma. She is exactly as I'd hoped she'd be. Hopefully, I will see her again soon.
Went to Shannon's bro's wedding. What a hoot that was! I love Shannon. I love her because she is real. She is fun, loving, and honest. When she's upset with me, she just says 'hey, I'm upset with you about...' and it's so awesome. I love our friendship! That's like the biggest reason I don't have that many close friends. Most people don't have the guts to tell me when they are upset with me...aka the handful of girls in Campbell. I'm not upset with them so I'm just going to let them boil in their own anger.
Ah Shannon, you truly have made my life richer indeed.
Ryan and I went to Havasupai. It was beautiful and I couldn't help but think of all the people that haven't experienced it. Seriously, it's only 10 miles down and 10 miles out....it's worth it! Not only was it nice to be away from the stress of school and work and Campbell but it was also nice to spend time with Ryan. Seriously, you are tired and dirty and hungry and thirsty. If you still cherish the time you are with that person...that's special. My favorite part was when we hiked into Mooney falls. It pushed me passed my fear...I'm scared of heights. I made a risky move climbing down to the bottom but it was worth it. Soo amazing.
Biggest news!! I got the internship in Helena! I will learn how to edit, write, shoot, announce, and produce packages!!! Pretty much everything I want to do when I grow up. This is really a blessing because Ryan and I were hoping that I could come up to Montana for the summer because I have another year at NAU...which means we would be away from each other a lot. I'm not worried about that. I just can't wait to see Montana. I also can't wait to meet his family. It's just falling together nicely.
I don't know what I can say to explain how I feel. Mostly excited, partly curious, partly in awe, partly selfish, partly proud. Ryan and I are great...pretty incredible. But honestly, I do worry about Ryan and his friends. We want to spend time together. We also want to spend time with our friends. I think we have tried very hard to accomplish that but I wonder how they feel. I know Brit and Shannon don't mind. They know that Ryan is the best thing that could've happened to me and they love him for that. I don't really know how any of his friends feel. Some say I shouldn't care...but I do. I really like all of them. I like hanging out with them. Matt O is hilarious. I love when he just comes into the room singing worship songs. Eddie is so sweet and honest. I appreciate him allowing me to use his life for one of my feature stories. Crystal is so much fun! I like when she sings 'My Humps' and her sarcastic comments that just crack me up. She is so motivated and so successful. Tracy is my journalism buddy. We share the same opinions of some of the people in the class and very much enjoy sharing them. Matt E. is a sweetheart! Going to Sedona so he could apply for pink jeep tours was a blast. Ah, and he and his girlfriend are so cute. Sarah, Hope and Shannon are so awesome. I am always glad to see close friends like that with their bball boy crushes and inside jokes. Amy is freakin awesome. She's very confident and fun to be around. She's also a great model, haha. And Andrea, she was the first girl to talk to me in the group. She is the first person I really connected with. She'll be married soon and leave...just like my leslie, but I am happy for her. She'll be a great wife and mom. That night we went out to the bars..and to boardwalk, I really had a good time.
I enjoy being around that group because I know how much Ryan appreciates their friendship. So do I. I love when he tells me stories about the past few years. I know my close knit group of friends(my boys) will always have a place in my heart and they played a huge part in my life...almost making up a part of me. I guess your friends help you learn about yourself.
ANYWAYS, after a huge tangent of the group...I am glad I met them. I'll be honest, it was awkward at first because I didn't know anyone and then I was embarassed. It was worth it. Just to meet Ryan, literally the best thing in my life (Besides Jesus). All this time... I wonder how we never crossed paths before.
