Welcome to 2014

Beginning a new year is always an exhilarating experience. I feel blessed each time the count down begins and we watch the ball drop in New York City. Another year the Lord has allowed me to continue His plan and this wild journey! 

I spent my New Years Eve with my parents and family friends in my childhood home. I spent this day the same every year but the blessings  are always different. I always find something new to enjoy about being alive!  Bringing in the New Year with people you love and care about it something so very special.

The following days were a bit different once I left the comfort of my family. 

Work was alright, nothing special only tiring. Then the roommates moved in!
This semester will be....

WONDERFUL!!!

The balance of personalities in our apartment is simple perfection! I couldn't have asked for a better set of girls to live with for the remainder of  my Junior year. Two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman all in the same apartment... wisdom, laughter, same interests, and just a lot of fun! We've already stayed up watching The Breakfast Club, finished a season of The Walking Dead, and have started a new tv series to watch as roommates. This hasn't been my luck since my freshman year at Reinhardt University! 

My classes on the other hand are going to be a challenge. I am in two upper level classes, one core class, and one class I was suppose to pass last year. Two may seem insignificant and easy but they require a lot of work. I will be doing loads of papers this semester and sooooo much research. Which I'm ok with but pairing this with work and wanting to see my family and loved ones it will be interesting. 

It was also interesting when my computer decided to die on me right before classes began!!! So for the first part of this week IT had my computer doctoring him up all nice for me. 

So, I'm a bit behind on my homework and papers already but the blessing is that IT is free and my computer is healthy again! My paycheck comes tomorrow and my fridge will be full. The cold weather is passing and the 3 quarter length sleeves are coming out. I ordered my books on Monday and they are coming today. Life is full of blessings and I will continue to count them as I write new posts and go about my day. If my day seems dark and cloudy then I will find the blessings. There is always a way God is using your "bad day" to teach you something or to be a blessing to someone else. You simply have to count your blessings.
