I wish I could say it another, stronger way, but I AM THE LUCKIEST, most blessed girl in the world. I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. Most importantly, in just 6 & 1/2 weeks I will marry my best friend, the one I love, the one I laugh with, the person who knows what I'm thinking and what I'm going to say before I say it.
It's been a year of growing for me and just enjoying life. It has been so wonderful, and has taught me so much. My time at CSPC was annoying at times, but very valuable in the end. I was confronted with diversity everyday... so much more than JMU. I saw all different types of people walk in and out of there. They were happy, sad, angry, rarely happy. I had to suck up my personal emotions and just purely help them feel like they were in the right place.
I've met so many new people, and they have enhanced my life in so many different ways. Mostly, I've become more open=minded, less conservative, more adventurous, more willing to sneak back into my house at 6am just because I was livingggg my life and enjoying good times with friends. Like, really...who cares if I have to make up the sleep another time? Afterall, Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but rather the moments that take our breath away.
The highlights of my year include the snowpocalypse of 2010, being stuck in 7764 with 5 hilarious guys and learning so much more about how guys think...and also about how they are actually more normal than you think. They wake up and brush their teeth, and drink coffee, and read the paper or turn on the news. I guess I always thought they woke up, maybe took a shower and ran out the front door, without coffee or breakfast. Little did I know! Ofcourse my birthday weekend was so memorable I can hardly explain. I get to spend the rest of forever with the love of my life. I am so blessed to be able to share the rest of my life with such a wonderful man. Then...there was making the decision to go back to school. Not just that...but I have started taking classes and have realized that I was never really dumb or stupid in regards to science...I just never gave it a chance because it took me more than a second to process it and understand. Plus, others telling me I didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of ever being good at it. News flash those of you who didn't believe in me... I believe in myself and guess what? I am loving every minute of going back to school and learning all about the body and chemical reactions, and our biology, etc. I believe in myself...that I can do anything that I want to do if I put in enough effort.
Again, I've truly learned a lot this year. You know... in college I always knew I could do things...but let's be honest, you could slack off and still get by most of the time. But in the real world...the out of college world... you really do truly have to believe in yourself. Not just your ability to achieve good grades. You have to be able to interact with people, not put yourself first all of the time, accept people for who they are, deal with difficult situations, and decide that no matter the circumstance, you deal with it, good or bad, and you don't just sit there asking why you got dealt that hand of cards. You can take most any situation and come away from it having learned something valuable about yourself, or about others.
....ahh, I just got really sleepy..more late
