This past week has been extremely unforgettable. I'm finally out of my teens! It's only taken 20 years to get out of them though. Tonight at dinner, one of my best friends asked me what I am expecting out of this new year. It took me a couple of minutes to answer that question, but when I did, YOLO was my answer. I know that's the most cliche and dumb answer, but it's true. I'm expecting this year to come with a lot of new experiences, spontaneous decisions, and great friendships.

I am slowly realizing that I feel nothing less than whole. I've probably mentioned that before, but I can't help but repeat it. I have gone through a lot in the last several months. Since I got back from South Dakota, my life has taken a complete change in path. I got rid of the unhealthy and got involved with the healthy. Life through me lemons, and I've been making the best lemonade out of them.

I love being able to experience new things. Just in the last two weeks, I've done more than I could've ever dreamed of doing. To add on to the rodeo, paint war, and slip n slide, I crossed going to a Coldplay concert off of my bucket list. For the people who know me, they know that I am absolutely obsessed with Coldplay. My day is not complete until I've listened to Coldplay for at least 30 minutes. This past Tuesday, a Facebook friend of mine posted that she was selling her tickets. I happened to be on the phone with my mom when the post was made. I immediately messaged this Facebook friend, and made the spontaneous decision to purchase her tickets. The funds were available, and so I went for it. I ended up rolling off my best friend's bed and crying on the floor. Fast forward two days, and now there's video proof of me crying my face off when Coldplay started playing "A Head Full Of Dreams" for their opening song.

After the concert, another spontaneous decision was made. There's a roundabout in downtown Tulsa. In the center of this roundabout is a fountain that turns off randomly. We made the random decision to walk through this fountain. It was so much fun, and definitely added to how amazing Thursday night was.

I spent the eve of my birthday at one of my absolute favorite places in Oklahoma. Every month, there's a worship night at a ranch. This ranch is ran by my contact to South Dakota. Ranch worship is such an amazing experience, and the Holy Spirit is moving big time. I don't leave the ranch without crying at least once before/during/after worship. It's such a special and intimate place. I love it so much.

Finally for my birthday, I've been loved on by so many of my friends. I have been overwhelmed with the amount of love that I have received actually. I am so loved. So very loved. The people that are in my life are so wonderful. I spent my birthday at church, studying in the Hammer Center, at iHop, and so many other places. This day has been one of the best birthdays I've ever had, and it's going to take a lot for it to be topped next year.

Here's to my twentieth year of life! I cannot wait to see what this new year holds.
