My life since the last post

Well, lets just say that I've had a lot of changes in my life. Tomorrow is my last day of school and I will be a Senior - yikes! My mom got a job at Bethel and I end up getting a large tuition break when I get to Bethel in a year - Praise the Lord!!!!!!

As I look back on the year one thing I absolutely regret is the fact that I paid to much attention to my studies and not enough attention to being a better friend. I missed out on so many opportunities to bless other people, instead I worked at giving myself a good name - how selfish!

When I turned 17 in April my wish was that this year would be the year that I would grow up more and become an adult. Well, I didn't plan on it like the way it's happening. Since my mom has the job - and she was always a stay-at-home mom before - I now have to do all the dishes, clean the house, take care of the pets (which I should have been doing), do yard stuff and still be a kid. Yikes!! On top of that I'm now making dinner for my folks. I don't see it as being their slave but it is a BIG change. I miss coming home to my mom and seeing her bright and cheery face and letting her play with my hair as I debrief my day. But I'm glad she's doing something she loves.

Well, it's getting late. I should go. See ya!
