Breathe. Just Breathe.

My goodness... I can't believe it's been this long since I blogged. So basically this semester has flown by. I can't believe it's already dead week and finals are less than a week away. This semester has been one of my favorites so far. I love my social club. I seriously can't tell you how thankful I am that I rushed it. All of the girls are amazing, and no matter how bad my mood is, they always brighten my day. I've made so many memories this semester with them that I can't wait for the next couple years.

In October Seth and I celebrated our one year! I am so thankful that God blessed me with such an amazing man. He always makes my day better every time I talk to him. This past week was a pretty rough one. I had a ton of homework, I was getting sick, and it wasn't a good time. My friends tried to cheer me up, but it wasn't working. But Seth came up that weekend, and the second I saw him all my problems seemed to disappear because he was there. This weekend really helped me get ready for finals and I'm so excited for my future with him.

Moving on... I know you guys don't want to read about the mushy gushy boyfriend stuff. School is going well. I'm ready to be done with all my finals and start new classes. I have a final this Sunday night, then three on Monday, and I'm done. Then for the rest of the week I'm working multiple. YAY! I got a new job for the Christmas season... haha I'm working at an outdoor skating rink, which my boss is crazy and can't keep anything straight, but it's extra cash right? So now I'm basically working four jobs. Gotta love it. ;)

Oh and I've started making my plans for this summer.... and guess where I'm going!?! :) EUROPE!!! I got accepted into OC's Study Abroad in Europe, so for 6 weeks I will traveling with some amazing OC people, and some of my closest friends. I am so excited. The only downfall is, my parents want me to pay for it all myself, which I'm going to try, but after talking to the financial aid office, my dream became a lot more achievable. :)

Needless to say, my life is going pretty well right now. God has blessed me way beyond what I deserve, and I am so thankful. I'm trying to get my life back on track with him and all the pieces are starting to fit together.

One of the verses that is helping me make it through this week is Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
