Blessings

This is a photo that I took at my Senior Class Retreat just a few days before graduation last year. Considering all that has been going on the past few weeks I thought it would be perfect to share.

If it weren’t for my incredibly faithful friends I don’t know that I would have made it through the weeks leading up to fall break. My grandpa has been in the hospital and it was a struggle for me to be away from home and my family as they dealt with everything.

I had a friend who turned to me in the middle of class and said, “I’m going to say a prayer for you” and right then she bowed her head to pray- in the middle of Psychology. A few days later as I was getting ready for bed a friend came over to see how I was doing. We sat in my room and he told me about different Bible verses to read that would help me through these difficult times. He reassured me that God would help me and my family through it all. How wonderful are they?? I can’t even begin to describe how much they mean to me.

It is times like this that I am reminded of how truly blessed and fortunate I am to be surrounded my such wonderful people. Thank you to everyone who has been a blessing in my life these past 19 years- I am thankful for each and every one of you!!

Weekend at Home

 

Over labor day weekend I was able to make it home to spend it with my family.  Most of it was spent on the go but on Monday we had a family BBQ with the neighbors.  It was such a fun weekend filled with family, friends and laughter.

 

My silly little sister :)

 

....typical Jackson and Liam

The food was so good! Tom and Cheryl went all out for us!

 

They won't admit it, but they love eachother!

 

Oh these boys, they stole my heart!

 

I’m glad I made it home to spend time with my family and all of the kiddos! I miss them all so much but being away makes it all the more special when I do get to spend time with them.

Love you guys!

New Directions

Once school had come to an end we wanted to do something different…
On the last day of school we each wore the shirt of the school we are going to (and yes I FINALLY decided!!) Everyone showed up in there school t-shirts and we took a class picture.

Everyone gathered in groups of the schools they are going to like UNK and UNL, but four of us, didn’t have a group to join…

…so we made a group of our own: the loners; but we are all very excited about braving the next few years alone, without our comfort zones.
It was a fun day as we all signed out and we got some fun pictures too
