Twenty Ten

as 2009 comes to a close and 2010 is just around the corner, i find myself reflecting more on these two years than i normally do. maybe because a lot of wonderful things happened this past year and because i'm looking forward to so much in the coming year. as i think on my happiness, i can't help but wonder if i have been taking it all for granted. i am so blessed and it's important to remember that. God has taken such good care of me. so as i look to the beginning of a new decade, i'm trying to focus on God as the reason i'm here.

this year, i will:
[01] marry my best friend and begin our life together
[o2] share God by loving others
[03] not take my happiness for granted
[04] support my family and friends
[05] stand up for what i believe in
[06] simplify what i have, figuring out what's important
[07] not let things matter more than relationships
[08] search for God's purpose for my future career
[09] not judge people
[10] love unconditionally

So Close

i've handed in nine papers this week- two days ahead of schedule. it's made for a very intense couple of weeks, but that's the end of the semester for you. turns out i enjoy take-home finals. they're hard, but they're papers you can do with all your notes. i think that's better than trying to remember everything and recall it to explicit detail in an exam.

ahh.

that was my breath, to signify how close i am to the end of the semester. just two exams on monday. and then i'll be done! i'm so excited. i'm only a few days away from wedding planning fun and christmas delightfulness. i love christmas. and i'm definitely going to love planning our wedding!

so close to the finish line.

p.s. countdown: seven months!
