Well...7 things..
1) I love to read. Love it. I recently sat down with the new donald miller book and read it in the equivalent of less than a day. I just started Pride and Prejudice (my favorite) for a second time, am finishing the new Francis Chan book, and have about 10 books on my shelf I am waiting to get to.

2) I have the greatest friends in the whole world. I really do. I could not be more thankful. They are just super amazing and encouraging people. My bible study is a perfect illustration of that. They are all wonderful :)

3) I am about to graduate in about 9 days from nursing school! I will finally be an RN at a children's hospital. I love kids, and I know this will sound weird, but i especially love sick kids. I don't know why, I just have a special place in my heart for them :)

4) I have been crafty these last few days. I failed to find a tacky christmas sweater for festivities this year, so I made one a couple days ago. You will see pictures on here soon enough :) I also have recently made an apron (photos and blog to come) and am about to make a bunch of crafts for girl christmas. I promise to document all of these things. When I was in high school I was super crafty. I painted and drew and played guitar... where have those days gone?

5) I am a Young Life leader at a local high school. I LOVE it. I get the chance to meet some awesome students and share Christ with them. What could be more awesome?

6) I woke up this morning excited about God's word. I mean, it is literally a love letter to us. It is how God has pursued our hearts from the beginning, and how He continues to do that every day of our lives. How could my heart not beat faster thinking about that?! I mean, really?

7) My brother is pretty awesome. I mean, really. He is super selfless and giving, and although I don't always track with his weird british movie and tv quotes, he is fun to be around. He was most definitely born in the wrong country.


Well, that is all for now. :) I will pass this lovely award on to my best friend in the whole world Shannon Henson, another best friend who has an amazing story, Kristy, and my precious friend angie who just had a tiny PRECIOUS baby boy (don't worry ang, it took me a month to respond) :)
