january recap

I often like to look back on a month, or season of time and reflect over what happened. The good. The bad. The ugly. Check for underlying themes, and see where I've grown.

Top 10 happenings of January. (in no particular order)

1. I got to spend a lovely 4 days with a beautiful friend and old roommate who now is a missionary in South Africa. We keep up fairly well over the time apart, but nothing beats quality face time. She wont be home again for two years, and I miss her greatly.

2. I let my heart get entangled. Fell again...and got back up.

3. My boss went on vacation. This means things are a little more crazy at the flower shop.

4. My grandma had knee surgery. I visited with her a couple of times, and realized....we need to hang out more.

5. My summer trip for this coming year was cancelled. Thus began the process of trying to figure out what God has up his sleeve.

6. Had a HUGE fight with the parentals, resulting in what i think may be a request for me to move out. I'm not really sure how I'm going to do this and pay my student loans.

7. Life bloomed with an over abundance of new possibilities.....teaching in Korea, spending part of the summer in Mexico, Moving....to name a few.

8. I finally bought a new computer. And had to send it in for warranty work. Oh the irony.

9. I'm finding myself getting more and more attached to the church I've been going to, and the people there. This makes me feel vulnerable. Vulnerability is scary.

10. I visited the great town of Goshen, IN. My true home away from home. Spent some quality time with some friends, pondered life's possibilities, and latest happenings.



So January has been a crazy month. Bi-polar really with its extreme highs and lows. As we move into February i hope things start to level out. But none the less, I love the roller coaster ride..
