18

I've really been into the numerical titles lately...
Anywho,

Today is the last day I will ever be 17 again. I was thinking about it in practice yesterday and it just made me think a lot about the movie 17 Again. Will I look back in the future and want to relive this past year? Honestly, I think I will be able to answer yes to that question. 17 has had a lot of ups and downs, but the ups were probably legitimately some of the best days of my life so far. I think that's exciting to think all of that happened in just a year.

Tonight is not only the last night I'll be 17, but the last time I'll play a regular season basketball game. I can't get over that. It's so crazy how that lined up.

18 is going to be a big year with a lot of new challenges ahead of me, but also a lot of fun. Like in a month exactly, I will have spent the night at Abby's and then be flying to Europe! And this will just be within a few weeks of me turning 18, I can hardly imagine what else this year will have in store for me.

Woody talked to us before practice today and really got me thinking...
This is it.
There are so many lasts I'm not even realizing are happening. Today was the last day before Valentine's Day I'll have with this set of friends.
What am I doing wasting these moments? What if a last pops up that I didn't expect.

This idea fluttered into my mind during the Ash Wednesday service tonight as well. A woman at my church received a phone call last night. Her sister and her sister's husband had died in an unexpected house fire. She never had a known last with them.

I don't want to miss out on anything. More lasts are happening than I'm even realizing. It's scary to realize that just as many firsts are around the corner.

37

Well this post is similar to my last one, my apologies...

37 days until I leave for Europe! I'm so excited, there's a meeting on Sunday which I'll probably fall asleep in..

Anywho,
Time is wasting.. There's only a few months eft of high school and I feel as though I'm wasting all of my time with, well homework! Ironic isn't it? I have so much I need to get done. So of course I'm spending my class time writing this instead of working on the nice and long packet we were just assigned. Makes sense, right?

44

44 days until I leave for Europe with my two best friends! I cannot wait to see London and Paris with them!
Spring Break 2013, come quicker!

Golden Retriever

After watching a video series in Marriage and Family, I've been doing some thinking.
How often do you think before you act? Answer yourself honestly. And I don't just mean thinking oh should I do this or not? Do you ever think how you're effecting someone?

I'm a golden retriever. Sensitive. Indecisive.

Think...
