In case you missed it:
I applied to grad school
Returned to Oxford and faced some demons (releasing the "inner-Beef"...if you will)
Traveled to the Big City at the beginning of the year, thinking "this will be a great trip, but I'll never go back"
Literally made myself sick worrying over if I would get into grad school...even more worried that I would have to climb the ladder at Ann Taylor if things didn't work out (I kid...kind of)
Got a call that would change my life in March (Got in to that school in the Big City...what?!)
Went on my first (and last) cruise
Decided I was going to move to the Big City after all
Enjoyed my last formal
Drug my feet as it got closer to graduation
Talked to the roomie for the first time on the phone
Hid my tears in the Grove the day I actually walked across that stage
Was honored to stand by two of my very best friends as they became Mr. and Mrs.
Became a blogger
Worked really hard to buy furniture for my very first apartment
Went to the Big City, met the roomie, and signed my life away
Went to the Neshoba County Fair
Started to freak out about my move as we picked up the UHaul
Packed up and did it...I moved to the Big City
Met new fabulous friends that really helped my transition
Started classes...my future
Soaked up my new City
Had my first visitor in the Big City
Was asked to stand with another fabulous couple on their wedding day
Went to church in the Big City...by myself
Had a total stranger defile my bathroom (and home for that matter)
Embraced my gnomeness on Halloween
Returned to Ole Miss for Homecoming (how appropriate)
Dated randomly here and there (that's always
Saw the Arch...from the inside
Discovered as much as I want to work with kids, I really like working with the elderly...like a lot
Went home/to the Delta for Thanksgiving
Studied really hard...did well on finals
Got to go home for Christmas...finally
Enjoyed the season with my family
Yeah. It was a great year. This is merely a list of what happened over this year. Really? I learned what it felt like to really take a leap of faith. I really learned to not sweat the small stuff...believe me, that was huge. When things are challenging or not going my way...I think back to my blog..."adventure called life". An adventure it really is. Everyday. I became a big girl this year in the Big City. I was pushed out of my comfort zone, I managed a household and budget, and learned a lot about myself. I put A LOT of trust in the Lord...and as usual, he did not disappoint.
Looking ahead to 2011:
HOPE. HOPE is what I am after. This year I HOPE that I:
Continue to be a good friend, make my parents proud, strengthen my faith, pray more, build others up, be content with myself, work hard, don't procrastinate as often, am confident, am proactive, challenge myself, believe tomorrow will be better than today, have a positive attitude every day, worry less about what people think, and encourage others.
2011 is promising.
I look forward to what this year holds.
It's what I make it.
I HOPE I do it right.
A mystery to unfold.
