Long Time No...Getting any younger...

Hey well, it's been quite some time since I have been on here. And I'm not very sorry for it...lol...I have been over the top busy and just not really had the time or the desire to write on here.
I've been working at Sam's Club. Thank the Lord it is almost time to leave to go back to school. I've decided that 3 months of the place is all I can really take. Now, don't get me wrong, I do think it is a good job. But, there's only so much of it before I start looking at the clock every 5 minutes wishing it was time to leave.
In happier news, I finished my summer online classes! Who knows how I did in them, and quite frankly, right now, I don't even care. Just as long as they are DONE! That makes me so happy! I don't really enjoy online classes. I'd much rather be in the classroom with a teacher. But, praise the Lord I got some credits out of the way.
Well, I turned 21 on Wednesday the 18th. That was pretty exciting. Haha. No, it was a good birthday. I did have to work, but it wasn't too bad b/c it was only 830-2. After work I went over to JC and got my allergy shot and then met my parents and grandparents at Olive Garden at 3pm for a late lunch early dinner sort of thing. It was a good time. My grandparents are so sweet and I honestly don't think they will be around for very much longer so I want to get all the time with them that I can. When I got home, my new phone have arrived in the mail! It wasn't a birthday present, but it was cool how it came on my birthday! I was (AM!!!) so excited about it! It's a pink RAZR phone and it is soooo cute! Anyways, I got a dvd and a gift card to Dick's from my parents. We had also made homemade ice cream the night before, so we had that too. Overall it was a nice, relaxing birthday.
But, turning 21 got me thinking. I was sure a few years ago that by the time I was 21 I would have done a lot of things that I have not yet done in my life. Now I'm not saying that I sat down and made a list entitled, "Things to Do by Age 21" or anything haha but looking back, I guess I always just assumed I would have done certain things. Things like...having my first boyfriend. I don't think I'm wrong in saying that lots of people think they are going to go to college, meet someone, fall in love, and get married soon after graduating. And I'm sure that happens for lots of people. I guess since I wasn't so popular with the guys in highschool, that I thought when I went away to college, things would be different. But I guess not. I laugh because every year after school it's like "ok only 3 more years left.." "ok only 2 more years left..." and now I have only 1 more year left of college before I'm on my own. But, in reality, I have my whole life to find somebody to love. I don't have, ya know, 9 more months to be around people my age. I have a long time and I'm sure God will provide. I want to love someone. I want to be loved. It is one of the deepest desires of my heart and I know God wants to grant me that. Almost every night last semester I would pray that God would show me who He has for me. And I will continue to do so until that day comes. I used to think that "grown ups" that were single were like weird and must have some sort of problem or something. But, I am regretful that I ever thought that. It may have been God's timing that I wasn't seeing. Ya know what? God is good all the time. And all the time....God is good. He's been so good to me. I know He has a plan for my life and if it is to never get married, then I will have to learn to be ok with that. God is so good. God is so good. God is so good. He's so good to me. :-)

You have a great outlook on the whole guy thing.

Don't be discouraged because before you know it and when you LEAST expect it, God will send you the man of your dreams and you won't know what hit you. Just keep the patient attitude and God will bless you!
