Life Update
Sunday, March 27
Hi friends! I wanted to give you a quick life update because everything has been so crazy lately and I just want to let y'all know what has been going on.
Back in February, I received the unfortunate news that the last class I needed to take to graduate had been canceled. There is another class I can take in it's place but there is one prerequisite class that I will be taking over the summer. Originally I was told that I would have to graduate in December of 2016, which I had come to terms with. However, I decided to try and see if I could take the two required courses together even though one is a prerequisite. After 2 months of speaking with my advisor and hearing no news (or news I didn't want to hear), I finally wrote a letter to the associate dean of students and department chair of the business school. Within 24 hours, I got a reply that said he approved me to take the classes together! So, after 2 months of confusion, I will officially be graduating on August 14th with my bachelors degree in Accounting!
As many of you know, I will be marrying Daniel in September of 2016! Since we will be super busy after the wedding we have decided to move before then. At the end of May, we will be: renting a moving van, packing up all of my stuff and some stuff he has in Spokane, and driving all the way down south! We are not sure at this point where we will be stationed because he is still finishing up flight training and has not yet received his airframe. I will keep Facebook updated when he gets assigned an airframe because I will be so happy for him!
I also wanted to add a little note about how my faith has gotten so much stronger through these past few months. I have realized that I can't control everything and even if my life plan is perfect, everything can fall apart in the blink of an eye. I prayed to God endlessly and with his help, put my life plan back together. I know that as long as I have God, Daniel, family, dreams and goals, I can make it through everything!
Proverbs 19:21 - you can make plans, but the Lord's purpose will prevail.
So that is a little life update for those of you who weren't totally sure what was going on. Right now I am prepping for the multitude of exams I have during this last month, working and getting excited for everything the future has to offer!
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning to dance in the rain! |
What to Pack in Your Carry On Bag
Thursday, March 3 • adventure, attire, graphic art, packing list, purse, quick guide, spring break, travel, whats in my
1. Water bottle - bring an empty aluminum or plastic one that doesn't take a lot of weight in your bag.
2. Travel Journal - pack a small journal in case you want to write something down.
3. Pens - for writing in your journal.
4. Passport and Cash - the most important thing when flying!
5. Sunglasses - pack these in the top of your carry on so they don't get squished.
6. Regular Glasses - pack these if you don't wear glasses or are planning on flying in contacts (I highly discourage you to fly in contacts).
7. Warm Socks - bring these for the plane ride (my feet always get cold!)
8. Camera - pack this into your camera case so it doesn't get knocked around.
9. Headphones - to tune out the crying baby or loud laugher on the plane.
10. Face Wipes - these come in handy if you have been flying all day and feel gross.
11. Computer - pack this in an easily accessible spot because you will have to take it out through security.
12. Chapstick - always always always pack this because airplanes can really dry out your lips!
I hope this can help you while you are packing your carry on for your next flight! This list is pretty much everything I put into my tote bag while flying (with the exception of multiple novels). When I travel, I try to pack all of my clothes into a small suitcase so I don't have to worry about checking a bag. I have found that wearing my bulkiest shoes and rolling clothes is very helpful when packing a week or two into a single suitcase. If anyone has any packing tips or things they put into their carry on, I'd love to hear from you!
Thank you for reading my blog!
