So the year is slowly growing to a close and I wanted to dedicate a post to the old year. A lot has happened this last year. I fell in love with a great guy, finally figured out my future plans for my education, and found a bit of myself that was once forgotten. I have grown in so many ways and I thank my heavenly father for the blessings that I have received this year. It has been a year of many things including trials, but all of the maturing and realization has been worth the struggle and the many tears that were shed. All in all it has been a great year and I hope that 2010 is just as fantastic!!

I am ready for a week of acting like a kid again!!! Just a few more days until I can play in the snow, jump bales, play hide and seek, and dance like crazy. : ) Boy I love going home and spending time with my siblings!!!

I don't know if this is special to only me, but music literally feeds my soul and affects the mood that I'm in. I have a hard time not getting emotional when I listen to music, and sadly I haven't had a lot of time to just sit and listen to my music. Over Christmas break, I plan to just sit and do absolutely nothing as the music plays in the background of my thoughts. It sounds absolutely fabulous and I can't wait until finals are done so I can do so!!!

So it is now after Thanksgiving and I have three weeks of class/finals left in the semester. I need to desperately focus, but all I can think about is Josh... He comes home on the 17th, which is about two weeks away. I wish I could just put things mentally in the back of my mind, but unfortunately I don't have that ability with some things!
