Christmas with a Chance of Sun

Less than two weeks till Christmas and the sun is out, the birds are chirping, and I'm heading to the beach. This is way better than having to dig my truck out of the snow for two hours! Finals week is among us, and I only have two more classes, one on Wednesday and the last one on Thursday. I can't believe this semester is already over. I'm so ready for three weeks of no work and school. I can finally just relax, but knowing me I'll be bored fast and ready to come back to San Diego.

Here are some things I've learned this semester:
1. Dressing up silly for events/activities is a big part of college (NAU needs to figure this out)
2. The time change does not affect the times of your favorite TV shows.
3. Worms can drown when it rains a lot, so they move to the sidewalk.
4. The difference between cake pans and pie pans
5. Nerf guns are a necessity for sneak attacks.
6. I could be an amazing house wife if I wanted to be (I don't)
7. Children's Christmas musicals are serious business.
8. Beach camping requires a beach, not a parking lot.
9. Onesies make for the best sleepovers and fort building.
10. I have the best friends in the world.

The most important thing I've learned is that God is in control. Coming here I was nervous, anxious, and was full of doubts. God has taken all of that away. He has provided for me and is teaching me to trust and rest in Him. Only three semesters left... I can't wait to see what's next.

Here's some highlights from this semester:
