as fall break has finally come to a close, i have officially completed 1/4 of my senior year of undergrad- eeeeeeee! i'm as happy as a clam and i cannot wait to get at least the rest of this semester over. as excited as i am, i'm also very uncertain as to what i'm going to do with myself in 8 months when the real world comes calling...hopefully between then and now i can get things figured out, hopefully i can finally decide on something instead of shuffling between careers and schools as frequently as i change my underwear. you probably think i'm kidding, but i'm straight serious y'all. as much as i'm ready for all of this to be over and to be out there doing my thing, i can't help but to feel slightly sentimental about the things going on in my life right now.

1. It's my senior year- my very last year of being an undergrad, my very last year at MC with my friends, with the faculty who have become mentors and friends. My very last chance to do all of the things that I'm going to look back on someday, when I'm much older, with fond memories of times with both new and old friends doing all sort of things, staying out too late and walking home at 3:30 a.m. in the pitch a$$ dark night with girls who would eventually become my best friends and better halves. I was very skeptical, at first, about this place, this small town and small school atmosphere because it reminded me a lot of my hometown and of my high school. I love my hometown, don't get me wrong, but it's the kind of small where you have to drive 30 minutes to get to a mall or to a store other than Wal Mart (which I HATE) so, although I will visit because my family still resides in the area, I can't see myself settling someplace so small, someplace like my hometown or my collegetown. In my 3 years here I have met some of the most amazing, most beautiful people who have had such a significant impact on my life. I came to this place with a strong friend base from home, but I gained an even stronger base of friends at MC. These girls, and guys, have been there, through failed exams, messy breakups, family drama, 4 am firedrills, fieldtrips resulting in being a$$ deep in mud, late night study sessions and hours on end with no power and no internet. And for these individuals and memories that I'll never forget, I am so blessed and so thankful.
2. Baby sister is 1/4 of the way done with her first year of IU!! Yaaaaay baby sister :) I'm sooo proud of you! Also- I'd like to know where our youth went? Watching disney channel movies without you is a.) not any fun and b.) sad 
3. All my munchkins are pretty much in school now- eeeeeeekkkk!! where did my cute little babies gooo?? and I really would like to know why I can't just pull them from school to stay home with me all day? How important can pre-school be anyway? :)
4. Family- this is pretty self-explanatory as far as my family is concerned but I'd just like to re-iterate just how much each and every one of you means to me. I am so blessed to have such a loving family and to have such a strong bond with my family.

 love, Love, LOVE my life, so so so much right now. Even when things are crazy hectic (like now) and I'm stressed to the max (like now)- I wouldn't change a thing.

so blessed and so very thankful-

be loved, be blessed and be healthy, ladies-
