I will start off by updating you on January since that is where I last left you. I celebrated my birthday with two of my roommates from school who came up from Louisville. It was a great day and so great to spend it with them. After they left to head home I went on a spontaneous ski trip with a friend who I hadn't got to spend time with in over a year. This made my birthday even better if that is at all possible!
A few days after my birthday I had to head back to school.
Unbeknownst to me, my birthday celebrations were not over yet. One of my roommates who could not make it up to my hometown for my birthday demanded I go see Les Mis and get dinner with her the first Friday we were back. Of course, I agreed; I never turn down a good movie or food. It was Friday night, all the signs were in front of me, I just didn't pick up on them. Jamisen took me to Saul Good after a lot of procrastination and there was the biggest surprise of my life: most of my closest friends at school all waiting to celebrate 20 with me! I was actually really confused and it was the weirdest feeling of my life. I didn't know how to react!
A few weekends after this, I went on an awesome girls weekend with my bible study and two others! I had no idea that I would learn so much on the weekend. I got to know people I was acquainted with so much better and I made a few new friends too. My eyes were opened on practical ways to live life as a woman of God and I also had some really crazy things happen showing me so much about myself. I feel so blessed that I have been given friends that are so encouraging and that are on the journey of living a Christ led life with me. I get to learn from them every single day and it is more than I could have ever asked for.
The last big thing in January that is worth mentioning was the Ed Sheeran concert. There is not a whole lot to say about it other than it was awesome! Oh, and we were introduced to Foy Vance and The Rizzle Kicks who opened for Ed.
Other than my b-day, retreat, and concert life has been busy with school and they daily changes that I have implemented since being back at school. As I mentioned, I am training for a marathon which is five days a week of running. I have also began trying to simplify my life by weening myself off of Facebook and Twitter. It has actually been great and I get so much more done. Last, I have been trying to eat a lot healthier since I am training and it has perks like weight loss, but it also just makes me feel so much better. I do allow myself some sweets and what not though too, I kind of go by the 80/20 rule that I learned about on a blog I love called The Londoner. Check it out!
That is all I have for now, but after this weekend there will be new pics and an update after Greek Sing!
