Goodbye, Junior Year.

Just like that ... my junior year is over. It's crazy to have so many things come and go and feel as if it was just yesterday that I was starting first semester as a junior. I feared so many things and now being at the end of the tunnel, I know that I really didn't have anything to worry about at all. I fear that all I might have learned was to wish away my time instead of truly embracing each moment that the Lord gives. Nonetheless, I want to take this time to remember all that went down this past year...

 1. Ranson and I enjoying Zaxby's celebrating his 20th birthday!

2. The girls and I on one of our spontaneous trips to Walmart ... all in the front seat.

3. Here we are celebrating Esther's birthday.

4. Mai fixing our string lights half-way into the school year.

5. Working ResLife with these girls have been a blessing! They're all graduating and I'm sad to see them go.

6. This is probably the year that I got into coffee. What a weird decision I made!

7. Oh gosh. Thankful for this girl who's willing to do silly ResLife events with me ... no matter how stinkin' ridiculous we look. I cut up a perfectly good bed sheet for this.

8. I enjoy their presence ... even when they're watching pimple popping videos. Yes, these are my friends.

9. Celebrating Mai's golden 24th birthday! It was definitely a fun morning.

10. Celebrating the wonderful Kabao in honor of her big wedding day!

11. We joined a small town event and took pictures along the way! I so did not enjoy my shorter hair length.

12. Our junior class hangout (the other girls weren't here, yet).

13. Enjoying Teacher Appreciation Day with the lovely Fab 5.

14. My super silly boyfriend came to visit.

15. I received my own little desk during my field experience. I'm thankful for caring mentor teachers.

16. Lesson planned and taught two segments for first graders (my dream grade!).

17. Students were good to go when it came to retelling! :)

18. Gotta get in that selfie. This was the first day I taught!

19. Blessed by paintings in the sky during every early morning commute.

20. Doing spontaneous things in the midst of finals as if we didn't have anything important to do.

Thanks for the memories! I'm excited for the summer plans and can't wait to update you all on the adventures I'll take during the summer! :)
