So I realized it's been around 6 months since I updated my journal.
I pretty much put all my thoughts on facebook...so I don't think about updating this, haha.

But anyway, let's see...

I've been single for a while now, while I enjoyed my last relationship...I'm good with being single for now. I have incredible people in my life, I don't feel the need for a relationship at the moment.

I've become a lot closer to God over the summer. I'm aware not everyone believes the same way I do, but for me, He's my reason for living. The more I center my life around Him, the clearer things become, and the easier it is for me to set my focus on the things that matter.

If you read my last journal, I mentioned having gallstones, and that I was waiting on surgery to have my gallbladder removed. After 5 agonizing months, I finally got my surgery!
It went really well and I had a fast recovery...mainly because I refused to put everything on hold for longer than 2 days...so pain killers were my friend for the first week or so, haha. Since I was forced to cut caffeine out of my diet while waiting on the surgery, I no longer have an addiction to it, and it's great

I'm now a full time nanny, and I love it.
The family I work for is amazing, I feel loved and appreciated. It's an incredible thing to be trusted with young lives, and to have the opportunity to watch them develop and have a part in their development. On top of all that, they pay me well, and have even given me paid vacation.
I love being part of their family, and look forward to having my own someday.

I'll be 20 next month...while that's still young, I feel really old lately. I've taken on a lot of responsibilities, and had a few put on me...haha. I'm definitely not complaining though, my life is full, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I've wanted a hamster for around 4 years now..as ridiculous as that sounds. But I'm getting one for my birthday, and this fills me with joy
I originally wanted a dwarf hamster, but I'm thinking I'll go with a normal sized one now.
I'm taking name suggestions

Thanksgiving is almost here, and Christmas is quickly approaching, this is my favorite time of the year, and I'm excited it's finally here.

My life is full, and I feel blessed.
