La Vida Loca

To all my adoring fans--

Or not. Really, I feel kind of guilty for not updating this thing sooner. I can't believe how much has changed in the last year and a half or so since I last posted. Don't worry--I'd rather clean toilets all night than give a detailed history of the last 16 months. I'll treat today as "Day 1" of my new blogging career.

Life is good. If there's one thing that I've learned this past year, it's that simple truth. No matter what goes wrong or how angry, frustrated, stressed, or heartbroken we may be at times, life goes on and God is good. I've learned that hope is beautiful, and that often one of God's best gifts to us is the peace that hope brings.

I am happy. Every day I'm learning to take things one moment and one hour at a time. I'm learning to slow down and enjoy life wherever and with whoever I am. And I'm learning to sleep more. Right now I'm a sophomore at Bryan College (working towards a Biology major with a Counseling Psychology minor) and loving it. This semester I'm taking Essential Cell Biology, Organic Chemistry, Personality Theory, Childhood Growth and Development, and Pentateuch. One of the best surprises this semester is how much I'm enjoying each and every one of these classes. My professors are *amazing* and the material is so interesting. As I said before, life is good.
