Busy Busy Busy...

Wow! The end of the semester is just jam packed! Still, I have just been soo blessed!

Thanksgiving at home was just fantastic! I got to go to the beach on a perfect day with Allison and have just a perfect time... I got to be a part of the college group which just uplifted by heart. I got to hang out with some youth group people at the Gibbens household...

Since then I have had some awesome experiences @ Belmont and I love this place more and more... you know that right there reminds me of my decision making tendencies. Some people just make a decision real fast and then think later if it was the right one... not me. I really agonize over the decision... and most of the time don't really know if I've made the right one for a while. That is kinda how I felt about college. I mean don't get me wrong, I loved Belmont in the beginning too. I just had a lot going on in my head and heart and had some trouble adjusting to not living at home. I took me some time to figure out if I was having problems with Belmont or just with college life in general. There were times that I thought I made the wrong decision... but as time goes on, I begin to see that I made a good decision. God has blessed me and guided me here and I am thankful for the opportunity.

Anyways...(this post is kinda all over the place!) I got to go to the symphony with Mary Lauren, Be a member of the audience for the Sandra McCracken house show taping with RUF, see Christmas at Belmont with my parents... just lots and lots of fun!

I sooo looking forward to being able to do all of this once again over Christmas break in addition to making a few extra bucks by helping my dad out at his office. I made a little list of all the things I am looking forward to about the break:
1. Metropolitan Ministries
2. College Group
3. Joined Church services (just getting to praise God with all my heart surrounded by the whole church family... Christmas music... I love those joined services!)
4. The Beach (yes I am going no matter how cold... you can play volleyball in any temperature by my book)
5. Having my mom's family over = cousins, aunt & uncle + grandparents to play board games and have fun
6. Visiting Megan @ work (I am making this happen even though I will be working at my dad's office... well i hope to...)
7. Driving back to Nashville with my dad! yay road trip!
8. St. Louis!!! (being a tourist with native guides haha, embarrassing home videos, seeing all our Missouri friends)

The joy and hope of Christmas is really driving on through these finals... I had one today that I think went ok... got Kansas and Kentucky confused on a map... BSed an essay question sort of successfully and nailed the other one... Now just have to study for my Seminar final tomorrow which is sort of intimidating... and then I have a joke of a final in Entertainment on Tuesday... so I think after tomorrow at noon I will really feel free of the anxiety of finals...

Still, I love my life and my Savior who gave it to me... I am just so so blessed :o)
