"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."

I have the best friends and family in the entire world! Seriously I do! They know exactly the right thing to say at the right time and they listen to me ramble on about anything and everything! I just love them so much! I've been trying to spend as much time as I can with my friends and family because in 83 days (HOLY COW) I will be on my way to New Zealand! (Yikes, that number is quickly getting smaller). A lot of my friends will be gone after next semester and that makes me really sad. This study abroad trip couldn't have come at a better or a worse time! I'm going to miss everyone that is graduating and moving on so much. But that is life I guess, and thankfully we are good enough friends that we will all keep in touch (PHEW)! There are also my friends that will still be around when I am back! Wahoo! I'm so excited that I will get to spend extra time with them! Who knows how everything will work out. However it does it is meant to be! We are all in the right place at the right time, doing the things we are suppose to! I'm excited to see the direction that life takes us all! It will be a grand adventure!

I just want to finish this off with a few quotes (cause you all know that I love quotes) and a song that has been stuck in my head all week! It won't go away.

"The longer you wait for something, the more you'll appreciate it when you get it. Cause anything worth having, is definitely worth waiting...."

"Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day!"

"If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse."

On another blog post I added that my motto was
"I CAN DO HARD THINGS!"
I have another one to add to that. My other motto is now,
"She Believed She Could, so She Did!" 

like I said, this song has been stuck in my head! I do love it though !

One more random thought. Yesterday at church I went to marriage prep cause that's the cool thing to do. haha it is a great "life" class, anyways we talked about how important it is to right now, be the person we want to be when we are married! That really made me think! There are some major things that I think I need to change. First off I need to learn how to cook. I don't think that my future husband will be thrilled to have frozen pizzas or Ramen every night for dinner! I'm going to work gradually at becoming the person I want to be! First off, cooking a real dinner, but not tonight! haha. Off to the library I go! Midterms are upon us! UGH!!!
