This is the final stretch. I am just a paper away from being free. I'm heading home tomorrow night and then my flight leaves Wednesday morning at 11:30. I'm way too excited. Not only to get away from the snow that has been dumping in Ellensburg for 2 days straight, but to see the love of my life for the first time in 8 weeks! Lucky me :)
I've been packing for the past few days and I really hope I don't forget anything . . but that always seems to happen no matter how hard I try to avoid it.
Now on to finishing my book, writing a 4 page paper on it and perhaps getting some sleep. We'll see . .

Adventure is out there!
Growing up my family never went camping. We never did anything outdoorsy. The minimal experience I've had with camping or hiking is summer camps as a kid.
Up until recently I've never appreciated nature, I've never really taken a second look at the mountains or sunshine. Hiking allows no distractions, no laziness, nothing to look at but God's breathtaking creation. I went on a hike this morning with my friend Andy and it was so peaceful. The challenge of making it to the top and the feeling of accomplishment looking down on what you just did. It's awesome, I love it. I can not wait until summer so camping trips can take place and that feeling can be experienced days on end. Isaac loves hiking and I especially can not wait to spend time with him <3
Countdown until Texas: 9 days!

Be Mine
Happy Valentine's Day!
It wasn't the best day, Isaac isn't here so I had nothing planned. Thanks to my awesome friends though, I got enough candy and cards to last me the rest of the year. I feel so loved. I think it is really sweet when students in college give everyone a valentine, because that was usually the best day in elementary school. It's always a good feeling to know someone else is caring enough to give you a valentine, even more so in college because a teacher doesn't have to force us to give one out to the whole class.
Over the weekend I went to my friends wedding, which was at a really nice hotel in downtown Seattle. Everything was so beautiful and exuberant. I can not wait to get married. I want to be the bride in a stunning white dress holding a colorful bouquet of fresh flowers, beaming with joy awaiting to spend the rest of my life with an amazing man. *sigh* All in God's timing.
Love is the best!
On a different note, track practice was extremely frustrating today. For some reason all of the correction from my coach on the hurdles I took as harsh criticism. I felt like I wanted to cry the whole time because of frustration and lack of self-esteem. I hate that feeling. I hate not being good enough and not improving something after doing it over and over again. Ugh! It was just one of those days where track is a huge burden, where I ask myself how I got this far and why I keep going. Tomorrow is another day. I found out I'm doing pentathlon for indoor GNAC conference. 60m hurdles, high jump, long jump, shot put, 800m. Should be interesting. I practiced shot put for the first time since fall today, and have yet to clear a height in high jump. Plus the 800 just always sucks. I'm competing on Friday so we'll see how that goes.
To end the day on a positive, my intramural soccer team won 21-9! And I even scored a goal! So that was really awesome. Go Methodical Madness!!
