New Year, New Beginnings

Nothing like starting off the new year with a blog post right? Let's see, the last time I updated this thing was in October. Needless to say, a lot has happened since then. In November I turned 21, and on that same day I said yes to marry the man of my dreams. :) We are still working on setting a date, but the wedding will be in May of 2014 after I graduate. I'm so excited I can't even begin to tell you. I've been looking at places online, and since I want an outdoor wedding, I'll have to wait a few months before we can actually go visit, but more will be coming soon. I have a lot of ideas swimming around in my head, I just need to get them sorted out.

With December came stress and fun as usual. Dead week and finals were pretty rough, but I ended the semester with 5 A's and 1 B so I can't complain. Okay, I can, but I'm not going to. :) After finals came working at Chick-Fil-A for the entire break to make some extra cash, and I did just that. I also took a class over break so I could lighten my workload this semester because 18 hours last semester was lot to handle. In addition to class and working I got to see my handsome fiance a lot and I couldn't have asked for a better break. :) We got to experience the fun/complicatedness of having to go to two separate family Christmases, which turned into a total of 5 Christmases, but we got them all done. I'm so excited to marry into that family.

And now a new year has begun, as well as a new semester. This semester brings Spring Sing, Wedding planning, 15 hours of school, work, and many more things, but I'm ready for it. I'm anxious to see what God has planned for me this year, because He is stirring a lot in me right now. So if you don't mind, say a prayer for me to keep my mind and heart open to what He has to say and that I'll do what he wants me to do. I have a tendency to be stubborn and not listen, but I'm going to try and change that this year.

So here is to new beginnings. I'm excited to see what this new year brings.
Let me know if there is anything I can pray about for you.

Song of the Day: Firm Foundation

P.S. We sang this at church tonight, and for once I actually listened to the words instead of just singing them, and I challenge you to do the same. Do you really believe that he is your firm foundation?
