So as of right now not much has changed. Still loving Arizona but still jobless. I am babysitting once a week at nights but this is only temporary and I have started institute. I am taking 3 classes that I absolutely love! Time is going by so fast I don't even know what to do with myself! A week from today I will turn 20 years old and in my book that was always really old. As with a lot of other years I have heard from several sources that this is yet another one of those awkward in between years of not being a teenager but not really being an adult yet either. Makes me so excited for this amazing upcoming year! Hopefully it will be as amazing as this past year and bring more changes. We will just see what kind of changes though.
As with most things that you notice time you start to think of the past. I have been thinking about what has happened in my life since my last birthday and can I just tell you it's been a lot?? A year ago I had no plans of moving out I was in a relationship I thought would last forever and that nothing would change the way I felt right then. I had everything figured out I was going to stay home keep working wait for my boyfriend to get home from his mission and get married. Maybe if I felt impressed to I would go on a mission of my own before he got back. Now a year later I have lived in 3 different cities within 6 months and now live about 500 miles from my family. I don't have a boyfriend and am planning a trip to Europe and going to go on a mission once my next birthday approaches. My attitudes towards things around me are completely different and my views on the world have been drastically altered.
I feel like I have grown so much in this past year and hope to grow just as much this upcoming year but preferably with less hardships. I can always hope right? It will be my first birthday not at my home with my family. It will be interesting to see how it all ends up panning out. The statement is true though birthdays get less and less exciting as years go by. As a kid you never believe that statement but it is such a sad truth. That's okay though because I'd rather know what I know now and be older than give up what I know just to be excited about my birthday. Goodbye all remaining days of my teen years you shall be missed.
