Oh boy, this past year has been a whirlwind! I started my senior year of highschool, got 2 new jobs, bought a car, finalized our adoption, and learned a lot about life. God has been with me the whole way. (If you want to read about all the stuff I've learned this year read this post)

As I begin this new year it doesn't even seem real. Every single year that I've been alive I've known that...the next year I was going to be in ____ grade, live with my parents, and life would go on (for the most part) normally. This year it's different. This year I will be considered a legal adult in 28 days. I will graduate from highschool in 5 months. I will be responsible for myself. This year is different.

My hope and prayer for this year is that God will lead me wherever He knows is best. That I will learn more than I've ever learned, love more than I've ever loved, and rely on Him more than ever before.
