memories & goals.

so im back. sorry for the lack of blogging over winter break. this break was wonderful. it was diverse and full of fun memories and lots of snow and... too short. my last winter break ever. so im glad it was so enjoyable. i was able to have a wonderful weekend with my besties and run around hendersonville. i got to see some great shows in nashville and have a wonderful christmas with family and friends we consider family. i got to end the break with a memorable time on the slopes. here are some things in between that made the time in the snow unforgettable. 

before i left for break, i got to see one of my all time favorite bands in good 'ol knoxville. needtobreathe was the best show ive gone to. i hope to see them live again soon. they even came with an encore with no mics. simply their voices and instruments. it was glorious. 

when i got home, i got home, me & mom set up the christmas decorations and immediately started baking. the before and after of just one type of our wonderful creations. 

then i had some wonderful murfreesboro friends who threw a christmas party. i was dressed as a gift. literally. =] bow in the hair and all.

then i had the glorious opportunity to see my knoxville friends in nashville & go dosey doe at the wildhorse saloon. such a fun night. 

us boro kids then decided we wanted to go see lights. so we went to the best of the best and ventured to opryland hotel. we got to see lights and take fun pictures and eat amazing tiramisu gelato.

for new years, some of us decided to spend new years on the slopes. it was a crazy weekend filled with a lot of miscommunication, a dead deer, falling asleep before the stroke of midnight, and good good skiing. 

so we got to see some friends in a band called caleb. you should check them out. theyre great. and we ended up hanging with them for some game nights. good laughter came from some fun games we played and good friends to share in community with.

im back in knoxville now. ready to begin my final chapter in college. ready to be used by the Lord in whatever way He desires for this semester. i am seeking to learn how to truly trust Him and be generous of spirit. cant wait to see what journey lies ahead.
