In order to fully appreciate things in my life I feel like I should thank one person. God. He sure knows what he is doing lately. When things started to get rough, I looked to him. Look at me now. I am happy, successful, and almost done with school :). This years has been full of twist and turns. Days I thought would never end and Some days that I wished would last forever. Its weird how time flies.
I am reflecting on this school year a little early because of the AT banquet that my family and I attended last night. I never thought this year would go so fast. The days I dreaded going to clinicals and class I now look back on and wish they were still here. I know I am going to miss the adventures of this year but there is so much more to come. SO many friends have been made, and kept. So many early hours with football that Jimmy and I dreaded then and laugh about now. I will miss my seniors and GAs that I have spent countless hours with over the past year. Days in the ATR will not be the same without Shaun, Kate and Jarrett. They got me through the rough days and made the good days that much better. Between Kate and I dancing during field setup to telling jokes and stories with Shaun and Jarrett. The days will not be forgotten and I have learned more life skills this year than I ever thought possible.
As for people in my class. Wow the bonds we have made, the memories that will last forever. Its crazy how time flies.
I now look back and thank God for every bit of stress he gave me and every challenge he laid down for me to conquer. I cleared them all with ease due to Him. I am one of the top of my class and a scholarship winner. Things that I never thought would happen. I am the kind of person that just keeps trucking and does not normally get recognized for the simple things. But I guess its the simple things in life that get you through and the simple things in life build up and I now know that I am making a difference in peoples lives. One of my good friends in AT told me she looked up to me the other day. And it took me awhile to grasp it. I got so focused on doing my own thing I did not know that I was affecting others lives in a positive way. I am proud of the person that I have become over these past 2 years at college and I feel like there is no where to go but up from here.
I guess what I have learned is that good things do not go unnoticed, so keep trucking and one day you will get to a place where you want to be.
But for now I have 2 full weeks left of school. A large paper to write, and a lot of people to see before summer begins. I have lunchs planned all week to catch up with old friends from last year and I am pretty excited about it.
When school ends I will be moving to Grove City with kayla and her sisters family once again. And going back to Lima for the month of July. And how could I forget the quads trip to Cedar point on the 13th? :)
So many good things are to come that I really do not mind that I am still in school. These are the days that I will remember for the rest of my life so I am busy living them, and enjoying every second of every day.
Keep on Keepin' on.

I am going to leave you with a few of my favorite country song lyrics of the past week!
"God is great...and People are crazy" ~ Billy Currington
"A lotta people called it prison when I was growing up but these are my roots and this is what I love...I wouldnt trade one single day here in Small town USA" ~ Jason Moore
"She smiles at strangers on the street, remembers every bodys name, calls her momma everyday, got the look, got the friends, gives the world all her best, but she hides all the rest :). Shes got smile like california, shes got a spirit like new orleans, eyes like the lights of New York city, cool as a carolina breeze, but underneath shes got a heart like memphis. " ~ the Carter Twins
"Life is seen more clearly through our tears, and we all find some faith when we face our fears." ~Dierks Bently
