sleepy-ness makes me do odd things...

and here we go... 2 at once, but i think they sorta go together.

Day 13: Goals
1. make God my center of everything
2. be happy with myself
2. earn my AA in Early Childhood Studies
3. transfer

i think that's pretty straight forward...

Day 14: A picture of you last year - how have you changed?

this is from last year in Mexico, me and Marisol.
i've changed in so many ways...at this point in my life i wasn't really living for anything. since then it's become my goal to live for/with God. i've had to make some hard choices and grow up. i've had to do things i didn't want to do. i've had to give up somethings. i've started to see myself as a perfect imperfection. no, i'll never be perfect, but that is what makes me perfect to God. it makes me better. before this was taken Kristen and i weren't best friends, i hadn't been to Malibu, and most of all, i wasn't caring. after this was taken i started to form those deeper relationships, i went to Malibu, i learned about myself, who i was and what i had been hiding. but most of all i started to care. i started to care about where i was with God, i started to care about how my choices affected my life, i started to care about my friendships. i learned how to let go and how to reach out. i learned how to break down. i learned how to not be perfect
frankly, this year has already been great and i know i'm still growing. as scary as it is, it's also the most exciting time in my life.
stay tuned, i'm in for a ride, you can watch if you'd like :)
