Hello again bloggers(:
I've been so busy lately since I've been home from school. I started my new job at a daycare and that enough has been exhausting. Also, I've been seeing friends, dancing, and trying to relax somewhere in between. I figured I should somehow get out all of my thoughts about these past two weeks in an organized manor...
First, work is exhausting guys. I know I sound ridiculous saying that because many of you have experienced that forever. I work at a daycare and taking care of babies almost all day has knocked me on my bum. I sometimes have to push myself through the day which is something I wasn't really expecting. In the hardest of times though, when everyone's crying and fussy, I have to remind myself why I am there. I am there to love those kids unconditionally and no matter what! I am there to learn from God's recent creation on how to look at the world! This is getting me through and thankfully it is enough right now.
Also, I'm getting to dance again. Praise you Lord for giving me the opportunity because I never thought I would again have it. Dancing with my studio again is such a blessing; I cannot even explain it to you all. I'm thinking about trying out for some kind of team at college next semester because let's face it, I'm honestly not complete without dance. I pray that the Lord leads me through the search again for a way to dance.
Finally, I've been thinking a lot about the blessing of my college. A very dear friend of mine is transferring schools and I've found it very hard to stay unbiased through this bc I just want him to come to my school. I really feel that my school is the best place. The school spirit, the friends, the overall feeling it has is amazing. I'm literally obsessed with it and I have been missing it way more being home than I thought I would. I pray that everyone finds some experience like I have had at my college. I may not go out every night or be involved in every organization, but I feel like such a part of the community and let's face it, I'm so happy. My school gives me a feeling only three other things have before: Christ, Dance, and The Love of My Life. This feeling is passion and unconditional love. My school never fails me.
So here I go again, blogging because I feel a little overwhelmed and coming out of it feeling so blessed and thankful. Honestly Lord I don't know how you led me to where I am today or why I deserve it but please know I am so thankful for it. This blog is just a testament to God's plan because at one point in time, I had no idea all of these things would happen and they caused a rather major amount of stress in my life.
I will leave you all with some verses about God's plan for us
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
If you are stuck in a confusing time, trust in him. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." You rock Lord.

Sirach 6:14
"A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure." Sirach 6:14
This blog post is completely dedicated to the treasures/friendships I have found and built upon my first year in college.
First off: The Girls
Hanna, I could not have asked for a better roommate/friend. The late night talks we have had about Jesus truly show how blessed I am to have found you. Even though I'm a grandma and you're nocturnal; I've enjoyed every second of being your roommate.
Jessie, You're a mess. I love laughing at you hysterically whether it be because of your weird voices, inability to know song lyrics, or the silly comments you make. I'm so glad Jessica Dagata came up to my room the first few days of college because I can't imagine being here without you.
Billie Anne, I apologize for all the times I've called you Billie...even though I can't promise it won't happen again;) I'm completely obsessed with your sweet little voice but also your large heart for Jesus. I truly have enjoyed watching you and our friendship become stronger over the year.
Caylin, My very favorite dance partner. It's so crazy that God gave us such a blessing as to come to college together. I'm so proud to say you're still one of my best friends and we have been able to create such an amazing friend group together. You'll always be my sister.
^^^^^^^^^P.S: Cannot wait to live with you all next year <3 I love you more than words can say!
Abby, Aka: A Grib. I still am mad at myself for not becoming friends with you sooner. I cannot even tell you how much your insanely weird and random sense of humor has brightened my life. Besides that, you're also one of the most loving people I know. You're literally perfect to me.
Ashley, My inspirational High Tech. Your high pitched laugh literally makes me so happy. I've enjoyed watching you grow in your talent this year and getting to know you. I'm so blessed to have you by my side and I know that will continue next year as well as the future. P.S: From our first conversation about dance, I know you'd be one of my best friends here.
And who could forget: The Boys
Michael, Thank you for being my boyfriend's best friend. From the first time we hung out, I knew you were going to be an important part in Spin's and my life. You're one of the funniest bust also most loving guys I know. You have been the best roommate to Spencer and an incredible friend to me.
Andrew, Spin's partner in crime. I could not believe it when Spencer told me the guy beside him loved the Avett Brothers and played the banjo. I knew God planned for you guys to meet. Thanks for accompanying Spencer in his musical journey. Also, thanks for being the sweetest guy I know. You ALWAYS put a smile on my face!
Kenny, The baby goat. Thanks as well for being one of Spencer's best friends. I love your voice and am still waiting for my lullaby CD;) Thanks for making me tea when I'm sick and having randomly deep conversations with me. I'm sad you aren't going to be 5 minutes away next year ):
Spin, I kinda like you. I've enjoyed more than anything watching us grow separately and together this year. I cannot even explain to you what a blessing it is to have you here at my dream school with me. I also am so proud of you finding your niche in music this year. God has blessed you so much with an incredible group of friends and musicians. You know how much you mean to me, so I'll leave it at that :D
The biggest blessing of all is that these are only a few of the friends I've made here. I am so so happy to have met people who love each other and the Lord. All of these people constantly bring me up when I'm feeling down. I cannot wait to see how our friendships continue to grow over the next 3-4 years <3 Love you with all my heart!
