Let's start in November. So, Thanksgiving was wonderful with much needed time spend at home with my family. My boyfriend, Aaron came from Dallas to visit and I showed him around Houston, it was so much fun!! Ok, so really I can't remember much that far back...so let's go to December.
December. Christmas. Yet again, Christmas made me realize the spirit of Lord is always among us, and He is so gracious. I had a wonderful Christmas spending time with my family and friends. I took my boyfriend to the Meyerson for his birthday, which was a treat for both of us.
They played all sorts of music, and had sing-a-longs, which of course I absolutely loved! My family and I spent Christmas in Houston, which was so relaxing. This year it actually snowed! My mom and I went to get our tree the day it snowed so it really got us into the Christmas spirit. I got to meet my nephew, Hunter Wayne Dean over Christmas too! Ok, so he's not my real nephew, but I am an honorary Aunt, and I am already loving it. Here is Britt and her baby boy...
January. January was/is so busy! First, Aaron surprised me with a trip to Taos, New Mexico for Christmas! We drove up and spent a few days just skiing and relaxing. It was so nice, and cold. :) Unfortunately, it decided to snow like crazy when we were leaving and we had a 14 hour drive back to Dallas. We tried to make the drive easier and more fun by playing 20 questions and scrabble. 20 questions was fun about 5 times, and scrabble...well, imagine playing scrabble in a moving car. It was a bust. I returned to school in full gear and have been going going going ever since. At the end of January, I ran my first half marathon!!! It was one of those things I wanted to do in my lifetime, so I trained, and did it! It was so inspiring and fulfilling. I definitely want to do another one, and hopefully one day the full marathon!
Now. Now I am getting ready to graduate from college!! I only have four months left of school, like forever. Maybe. For now at least. I am currenly in the musical Sweeney Todd, and preparing for my senior voice recital in April. Both are really exciting! I'm not really sure what God has planned for me this summer, or really anytime after May, but I'm not worried. I am nervous, anxious, excited, scared, but not worried. ;)
I hope this finds you well, and I hope to be more dedicated to this blog so please don't give up on me yet!
Talk to you soon!

P.S. It's easier for me to read a blog this long with pictures, so I promise to add some pictures when I get home!
