Planet Earth Turns Slowly

Spring Break has arrived and I am absolutely loving it! After a semester abroad where we would go on a week long excursion every 2-3 weeks, I miss those breaks. I plan on mostly relaxing but also playing soccer and volleyball, shopping with my sister and getting ready for a camping trip at the end of the week. I've only ever been camping with my family, so a trip with just friends will be a blast (not that my family is not a blast ;).
There's not just a whole lot to update on me personally...I still love my new major and have potential plans for the summer. Other than finding a job, I would like to go to South Africa for two weeks. I'm really excited because I would get to share the Gospel with the people there, plus play my favorite sport, SOCCER! The World Cup is being held there this year, if you didn't know that already. A couple of my guy friends and I made fantasy brackets. lol.
I always like thinking of titles for my posts. A lot of times its in relation to the song I'm listening to at the time, others its just what's on my mind. Sometimes its both...that's would be today. At church this morning, one of our elders had those who had been married for 30+ years stand up. We all applauded them and eventually had only those married for 60+ years standing. 67 years was the highest! I was amazed that two people have been together that long. The reason I was amazed was because that's what I aspire to. In our times its very rare and that is a tragedy. The man I marry someday will be the one that I will be with the rest of my life. To be honest that makes me scared and excited at the same time. Time seems to be passing slowly and quickly at the same time (pretty sure I've said that before), so that makes me wonder when God has that planned for me and who he has planned for me.
For now I'm content to continue finding who I am and exploring the beautiful planet and its peoples. After all, there is a time for everything!

It's Been Awhile

So sorry for not keeping everyone up to date for the past month! February just flew by: Sing Song, 2 days of snow and Valentine's Day. As a member of Junior class act, I enjoyed hanging with friends and just being in Sing Song for the fun of it. The snow has been the best I've ever seen in Abilene. My roommates will tell you that I was skeptical that we would be able to have an actual snowball fight. Not having to go to class made it all the better. For Valentine's Day I had roommate bonding time. We gave each other gifts, decorated mugs and laughed a lot (which is my favorite).
Now it is March 3, and its my birthday month!! Turning 21 this year :) My college experience has definitely been dynamic each semester...never boring or redundant. I hope that everyone is well and taking advantage of every single day! Hopefully I will be more dilligent in writing on this blog. Write me a comment if you'd like to :)
