A New Chapter
I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my life. For those of you who don't know, I have applied to Western Kentucky University, in Bowling Green, KY where I plan to pursue a degree in Performing Arts. I have sent in my application and my requests for my transcripts to be sent, so now it is just a waiting game. I am actually very excited about this. I know that my life is about to change drastically, in addition to all of the changes that have gone one in the last several months, and I am excited to see what comes next. My parents are probably about to move to South Carolina where my dad will be taking on the position of pastor at a church down there, and I, hopefully, will be moving back to Kentucky within the next 6 months. As I have said, it is all very exciting, but also very scary. I am excited because this is yet another chapter to my book, and I am interested to see where all of this leads me, but I am also scared because this is so different from everything I know. When it is all said and done though, I know that this is leading me to where God wants me to be, and that is a very comforting thought.

3. I don't drink milk by itself.

6. I have read all 7 of the Harry Potter books at least 3 times.
7. I can't eat perfectly "well-done" cookies. They have to be undercooked by at least 2 minutes, and I can't eat them after they have completely cooled off.
8. I only eat chocolate chip cookies and I have to have sweet tea when I eat them. No milk thanks.
9. I can only eat oreos dipped in milk.

11. If I could be any fictional character from a tv show, I would have to go with Sydney Bristow (Alias), Jason Bourne (Bourne series), or Jack Bauer (24).

17. Believe it or not, I am aware that number 16 is a LONG shot, but I feel as though I won't ever be truly happy until I know whether or not I can do it.
18. I am a HUGE hypochondriac. Tell me about a disease and its symptoms, and in a week I will have decided that I have it.

24. I loved my grandfather more than any other person in the world. He died 4 years ago, and more often than not it still feels like yesterday.

Well, there is nothing I can do to change the fact that I am not a twin, so long ago I decided that I would have the next best thing: twin daughters. The desire to have twin girls is still very much alive and well today.
