Wasn't I just moving into the dorm a few weeks ago? How is the semester over already? This semester has flown by and it has been more fun and more exciting than I ever thought it would be. I think it's time for a highlight reel (except in words and not film). We'll do this in a Top 10 format just to build up some suspense. Some of these things are going to be events, some of them are going to be just thoughts, and some are whatever I want.
10. I'm really thankful for Midway. This semester has been a breeze and I know that I have the AP program at Midway to thank for that. If only the rest of my college career could be so easy...
9. I'm increasingly grateful for the gifts that God has given me, especially my family. I have been blessed with generous parents and sister who feeds me.
8. I've been able to read a lot more than I have in the past year. I like books.
7. The Presidential Scholarship people are considering removing the on-campus living requirement. What more do I have to say about this?
6. Last year was rough without my two best friends at home. Now I get to see them all the time. Sometimes our schedules conflict but we always make time. I love them so much.
5. Seekers of the Word is the greatest thing in the world. God is showing me so much about myself and about worshiping Him. I'm gaining such great experience for youth ministry.
4. Seekers performed at Middleton prison (as you know from the previous blog) and it opened my eyes to the power and grace of God. He truly is our savior and He is EVERYWHERE.
3. I miss Kayla and Darby so much. Seeing them over Thanksgiving was awesome and I can't wait to see them for Christmas. I love you two. That being said, having Hannah here has been so great. I didn't realize how much I really missed seeing her crazy red-headed self in the halls at school and at home until I got out here. Needless to say, I meet a lot of people because of her. I love my Hankie and I'm glad we still have one more semester here together.
2. I love all of my Seeker friends. We are the most unique group of people that I have ever met and it's great. I'm getting closer to the ones I already knew and building new friendships with everyone else. We do almost everything there is to do, from a 12 hour Lord of the Rings marathon to murder mystery parties. That's just one more way that God has blessed me through Seekers.
1. I love my fellow freshman Seekers. We really started hanging out a few weeks ago, but those few weeks have been the most fun I've had in a long time. We determined that we've spent about 43 hours out of the past 72 together. That's ridiculous. In one day we went to the zoo, gathered and ate pecans on campus, went to four fast food restaurants (in a sort of progressive dinner thing that we made up), and watched a double feature at the drive-in. They are awesome friends and I'm going to miss them over the break.
This doesn't really cover everything from this semester (I have to save some for stories over the break) but, as I said, it's the highlights. The main thing that has happened this semester is I have grown in my faith and feel more blessed than ever before.

Could you make a Mom any happier? I'm so glad you are enjoying ACU! Can't wait to see you tomorrow--not sure I can do a 12-hour movie marathon over Christmas break but surely we can watch a movie or two!
Awwww...I have to admit I was a little upset when parents and sister (not sisters) made the list at first. But then I saw that Darby and I were listed later on. So now I'm happy. :) Can't wait to see you in about a week!
