i am not my own....

i have concluded that i have my entire wedding planned. 

if my future husband came up to me tomorrow and was like, “wedding?” i’d be like, “yeah! let’s run to hobby lobby and get this thing started!”

…which just shows how much extreme planning occurs in my brain.

i’m listening to new worship music (seriously check it out: cornerstone by hillsong united. it’s so good. i love me some Jesus)

which is point numero uno: God is so good! made it through another semester thanks to Christ alone. 

things i’ve learned spring 2012:

-anxiety sucks. 

-good grades were had all around. (ruthie got that 3.5 and i rocked out the 4.0!) which means that education happened. 

-this was not a shits and gigs semester. i went to lots of classes, although way few than other friends. and i sat at many computers and typed away at many projects. write you an adapted lesson plan for a kiddo? type up a transition plan? oh, want an assessment done? i am yo girl. (also: i will manage your stress. hardcore)

-Jesus rocked it out. we planned Cru. we met twice weekly. things did not fall apart. grandpa made lots of lists. giggling and whispering happened. 

-i need to run. i have been slacking on that, because of the above. but getting back into a groove.

-i worked all the hours at the group home. i love those people so much. and they love me too, which is lovely.

-still missed my old pals. new pals made their way into my life though. 

-went to a “real montana ranch.” definitely a fun time! i will always wear my red rain boots in montana. 

-oh yeah, i went to “central asia.” that was cool. and scary. and crazy. countries six and seven were added to my list. i learned i like teaching english and sharing Jesus and drinking tea. oh and wearing layers. well, i knew pretty much all of those things, but i realized the truthfulness of it all. oh, and how much i love airplanes. and turkish airlines. and diet coke, in any country!

-crushes were had. my second-ever* dtr happened. tea was not drank. my number one crush is still sitting high at number one. 

so that was basically the semester. it was good. i will miss college so much after the next year or so…..

most of all: JESUS. BFFE. STILL GOIN’ STRONG.

*that dtr wasn’t even to determine the relationship. it was a pseudo-dtr with the man in question a proxy for a separate and more emotional taxing dtr that never took place. but it was necessary. thanks, alex for sitting through (texting through?) that awkward time in january. sorry i didn’t really want to date you?
