Scattered Thoughts...

It's crazy that it is 2011! This is going to be a great year. But before I elaborate on that- I think 2010 deserves a little credit as it was very good to me. Major events including: turning 22, finishing my junior year of college, getting an internship at the worlds top interiors firm, painting my room, meeting a super sweet guy, learning that kissing isn't to be feared but enjoyed, moving in with some of the best roommates that I could have ever gotten, reuniting with good friends in Logan, going on a great adventure to Seattle, doing well in school, spending time with family over Christmas and working at Gensler over the break. I am pretty darn blessed.Christmas was wonderful. I got to spend a lot of time with Caleb and his family, as well as time with mine. Scott and Mindy & crew are living at home with mom and dad right now. It was so fun to spend time with them. I love those kids! They are such a blessing. Ashton is getting so big, and makes it very clear that Lisa is his #1 favorite auntie and that he is way to cool for me. It's ok, he will grow out of it, at least that's what I tell myself. Noah is still a lady-killer. His big brown eyes and olive skin get me every time. He made the cutest wise man I have ever seen in any Nativity. Avery is... Avery. That girl is going to give us all a run for our money. She is a firecracker, or maybe a pipe-bomb. She is talking all the time now, and for a 2&1/2 year old her language skills are remarkable. She is very intelligent, cute, and stubborn. She is also very sweet. One morning I was on my way to work and I had high heels on and she just looked at me and said "Aimee- you look beautiful!". I miss that girl.

I am super excited that I got a camera for Christmas. Now, hopefully, I will be able to get pictures of all of the fun stuff I do. (One of my new years resolutions is to do fun stuff...)

As for 2011, there are a lot of things coming up! I am excited to be graduating college! I am also scared. I cried a little on my way into Logan a few days ago knowing that this was my last semester in this special place (tender, I know). It has been such a great time in my life. I am not yet ready to accept that my time here is quickly coming to a close. I have met so many people that have changed my life. I have had so many experiences and opportunities that I would have never had anywhere else. I have grown so much, and learned so much about myself. I have gotten a great education and have been counselled by remarkable teachers that I have grown to respect, admire, and love. I have been so blessed. Logan is great. I can already feel it changing though, I am already feeling the loss of a great time. Logan is no longer mine. Utah State is soon to be a part of my past, a memory, and something I bring up in conversation after saying something like "When I was in college...". Past tense. This is surprisingly heart breaking to me. I love this place. I've got four more months here and I am going to live it up!

However- I am so excited for the future. There is so much to experience and enjoy. I am so grateful for the possible opportunities coming up in the next six months. Who knows where I will end up?! I am looking forward to turning a new leaf- "It's gunna be big".
