I look at the past year and I think "Amazing! Ive come such a long way!!" What has occured the past year you might ask!? Anything and everything! What was I doing for New Years this time last year? Shaina and I were in Dahlonega, bringing in the new year with her old friends and my new ones! We had an amazing night and oddly enough VOWED to spend the new year as single ladies, conquering our biggest fears and having the time of our lives. Well.. I had the time of my life and have conquered a few fears... and accomplished a small portion of my "bucket list" as well. The beginning of the year brought new possibilities and experiences: from skydiving to starting my first semester of clinicals for Nursing, it started my year out as one that Id never forget. I became friends with people I never imagined I would... experienced two great loves, and somehow came out on top in the job department! Longly-separated family members are now home, my grandparents are still in decent health...well, still around ;), and my friend base expanded far beyond my expectations! I've learned so much about myself over the past year: that sometimes you have to worry about yourself first, that it is OH SO important to figure out what I want for myself before trying to give any of myself to another person, and to turn to GOD for strength instead of trying to do everything on my own! He has blessed me with SO much the past year and I have so much to be thankful for! God is certainly a loving God and a forgiving one at that. I wont go without saying that I havent had to learn some lessons the hard way the past year... but who doesnt! Anything worth learning is never supposed to easy! So thank you Lord for all of the amazingly positive experiences and people Ive come across the past year and even the mistakes Ive made because theyve taught me more life lessons than I couldve imagined!!!
Ill close this with some of my most noted blessings over the past year:
-getting through my first year of clinicals
-getting the opportunity to skydive
-getting a new job at Tanner that I love
-Paul, Cole, and Jake (my mom's brother and his sons) moving home just in time for Christmas
-watching my sister and Tim progress in their soon-to-be marriage (they just bought a new house, yay!!!)
-getting to meet and love new people that have touched and changed for the good
