Lucky

"Lucky I'm in love with my best friend..."

I am lucky. Lucky to have a family that loves me. Lucky to date my best friend who loves me with his whole heart. Lucky to have friends that care about me deeply. Lucky to believe in a God that is unbelievably forgiving and merciful. SO merciful!!

I have just been reflecting lately on the many blessings in my life. God has truly blessed me this past year. I really don't deserve it at all. But, then again, who does? I didn't really have a relationship with God until this year and even now I'm nowhere as close to Him as I want to be.

There have been hard times and I've been in dark places this year. Some of the worst things that have ever happened to me happened during this year. But, hey, you get through them with your chin up and a good attitude.

I am lucky and blessed. And so are you. Count your luckiness. Count your blessings!

Hello! ♥

This is my new favorite dress from Eshakti! I love love how bright and colorful the flowers are! It reminds me of a pretty, watercolor painting! I got a gift card to Eshakti from my parents as a graduation gift and that was probably one of the funnest things to get ever! Now that I am going to college in like 1 month, I will definitely be not be able to buy dresses anymore, because I will be buying things like text books and gas for my car. So a gift card to my favorite dress place was so awesome!

Today was one of my last dance classes ever before college starts and honestly it makes me so sad that I want to cry. I've been a part of this dance group for about two years and it was one of my favorite things I did in highschool. I met and became friends with so many awesome kids and we all had so much fun together doing all the different dances. We learned so many kinds of dances; swing, waltz, cha cha, line dances. I know that this happens to everyone and we all have to move on and I will have such a great time in college, but it's still so bittersweet. I had an absolutely amazing senior year! I do plan on doing lots of swing dancing at Franciscan though, because it's super big up there, so hopefully I will get really good at that. Swing dancing is so much fun! I'm so glad and grateful I had the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing dance group and I will miss it a ton.
