so this weekend, I went to my very first wedding for some friends my own age: Brittany and Chris. As scary as it is that people my age are getting married, these two were made for eachother. It was an absolutely beautiful fairytale wedding, and Britt was the prettiest little bride i've ever seen. Their reception was just like a dance party with all of our favorite friends from school. Everyone was so happy, it was wonderful :) Coley got to come visit for the weekend too, which made me really really happy. summer's tough being 250 miles apart.
in other news, I got my calendar for my summer job, and im already feeling blessed by it! I get to do the funnest things, like the rodeo, rollerskating, waterparks, arcades, VBS, camps, and SO much more!! :) I can't wait to start work! :)

and it's summer..
I'm getting kinda sick of this whole "time flying by" thing.. I never believed it when people told me that it happens, and now.. i do. It's scary and exciting, a bittersweet deal. I can't believe my Junior year, the best year, of COLLEGE is over, DONE. I'M A SENIOR, OH MY GOSH. it kinda freaks me out. okay, really freaks me out.
let me do a quick reflection on the year for ya:
-first time in college being single
-moved into an APARTMENT...finally!
-met SO SO many new people
-tried two stepping...fell in LOVE with it (went almost every week)
-played lots of sand volleyball
-won FIRST place family at Welcome Week
-got plugged into a church, finally!
-did pageant steering committee (reception committee head)
-met MORE new people
-went to lots of fun concerts
-got a 3.7 gpa in the fall (made Dean's List)
-planned and helped out at a lot of awesome CAB events
-Earned the honor of being chosen for Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities.. SO blessed!
-Became a College Younglife leader, best decision ever.
-went to Destin, Florida for Spring Break and had the time of my life.
-Was on Cru Knights steering committee (awards/judges committee head)
-Junior Class Stunt Night co-director (we won!)
-found a new love for bowling
-I turned 21!
-Got a new boyfriend that loves the Lord with all of his heart, such a blessing.
-and somehow, by God's strength managed to get a 4.0 in the hardest semester of my life, Praise Him!
It was, in ALL honesty, the BEST year of college yet! I'm so thankful for every one of my friends that helped make it that. I can't wait to see how God uses me this summer in my internship, and I already have so many fun things to look forward to next year, my SENIOR year!
-I was asked to be in the Miss MHB pageant this fall
-CAB events
-STUDENT TEACHING!!!!! (4th and 2nd grade)
-Crusader Knights 2012 assistant director
Eep! So exciting! :) God is so SO good to me, and I am SO thankful.

the heart of life is good
Hey friends!
So, I'm getting better at this whole "blogging" thing again.. maybe because i have time now, ha.
This weekend was so joyful! :) I spent the weekend with one of my best friends, Brooke! She lives in Deep Ellum, kind of a rough part of downtown Dallas... an experience for sure! I am just so so blessed by her friendship! It was a spiritually refreshing weekend with her, so thankful for that!
I've finished 3 of my 4 classes.. all A's so far! :) last final tomorrow morning, fingers crossed!
Graduation is on Saturday, sad to see some of my friends leave UMHB, but nonetheless so excited for where God leads each of them! It's scary that my friends are graduating and getting married and stuff.. but its REALLY scare that in one year, ONE YEAR i will be graduating college.. WHEN THE HECK DID I GET SO OLD?!
I don't really have much else to tell you, other than life is so great right now! I am so so so blessed and just simply overwhelmed with joy right now. I seriously have the best friends, boyfriend, and family a girl could ask for, and if i could stay in this exact moment forever, i'd be alright. :) God is so unbelievably faithful, and so good to me.
