two thousand fourteen

OH. MY. WORD. I have not written in ages, and it's killing me. Not to say that I didn't try writing, because believe me, I did. I did a lot. WRITER'S BLOCK IS REALLLLL. I literally started and deleted like 5 posts so yay. ANYWAYS--

IT'S 2 0 1 4 

New year, new blog lay out. Ya dig? Basically I'm just really missing those Friday Night Lights.. So it was perfect. ANYWAYS.....

How is 2014?? I have no freaking idea. Yesterday I was talking and I said 2011 soooo yeah I'm a little behind. But here we are, two thousand fourteen.. CRAZY. Holy crap, I LOVE NEW YEARS. Everyone's so motivated. And really, what is better than a fresh start, and making goals, moving forward and improving yourself..? NOTHING. Plus I'm just super happy, so I'm sure that has something to do with my excitement level.

2014.. So many things are in store for me. This is the year of CHANGE. And I'm not so sure I'm okay with that, but at the same time I couldn't be more excited. I mean, this is the first year that I don't really know what to expect, ya know? For as long as I can remember, it's been oh, k hurry summer break in June and then start school again in August. Yayyyyyy.

BUT THIS YEAR.......... UM. YEAH THAT DOESN'T WORK. Because get this: I'm GRADUATING.. um wut. no. i'm what. how. when. what. when. how did this happen. I DON'T KNOW. Because basically I've been waiting to be done with high school since the second day of sophomore year, but now it's kinda scary. But I'm 112% over high school, so I'm ready I guess. But here's what I'm not ready for: All my boys to leave on their missions, growing up and being on my own. Yeah because guess what-- (you might want to sit down) I'M GOING AWAY TO COLLEGE. In 8 and a half short months.. I don't even know how to comprehend that. I've really never been more scared and excited at the same time in my whole life.

There's a song lyric that comes to mind every time I think about my future, and it's from Wide Open Spaces by the Dixie Chicks (because really who doesn't love the Dixie Chicks) and it says, "a young girl's dreams no longer hollow" and I don't think that there has been a truer statement about how I feel. I have been dreaming since I was 8 years old to become a teacher for the Deaf.. and for the first time, that dream is really tangible, and becoming a reality. My dream of going to Utah State is finally becoming a reality.

It's 2014, and I've honestly never been so excited for a year in my life. This is my year. This is it. And I can't wait to see where the Lord takes me.
