I began this blog almost a year ago and never got settled into updating with it. Now that it is 2011 and I have so many things going on in my life, I feel that I may be able to actually stick with blogging. I spent some time writing in a journal as a child but I never got into it enough for it to really stick.
My life has changed dramatically from January 2010 to January 2011. The beginning of the year was consumed with thoughts of possible engagement and figuring out when William and I wanted to get married. We finally decided on August 2011 and got engaged on March 31, 2010 (My last post has our engagement story). It has been about 9 months since that day and it seemed like the wedding was so far away it was almost unattainable. Looking back I cannot imagine it happening any differently. We both got to see all of our family members in the months following our engagement with my brothers graduation and summer holidays. It was an amazing time in my life and I have loved being engaged. The second half of 2010 began with the news that William and I are going to have a nephew joining our family in May 2011. His sister Kristy and her husband are going to be having a boy and we are so excited. He will be spoiled as much as possible (I have been looking at baby stuff for him since the day I found out she was pregnant!). I'm so excited that he will be at our wedding and will be a wonderful addition to an already amazing family!
Along with engagement and baby news and planning, my life has been consumed with school. I am in the middle of my internship. I'm working around 30 hours a week in three locations on top of my three regular classes. It has been a crazy semester and there is no real end in sight. I am looking forward to this semester much more than the last because I will actually have class with my friends three nights a week, rather than seeing them once a month. I have missed them dearly and I cannot wait to see all of them again on a regular basis. They have gotten me through grad school and are each blessings in my life!
That pretty much brings the update through 2010 and now I am looking toward 2011 with excitement. In May I will graduate (walk with three summer classes left to take), watch a beautiful bride become a wife, and become an aunt to a loving little boy. In August I will finish up my masters degree, be MARRIED!!, and hopefully start my first full-time counseling job. Those are only the things that I expect from 2011 but as I have experienced in the past, I know that my God has much more in store for me that I could never imagine on my own. I am loving life and cannot wait to experience all that it has to offer in 2011!!
