Friday Letters: Dear Emily in 3 years

Dear Emily,


In three years, you will be just finishing your junior year of college. You only have one year of accounting school left; it's the final countdown. 


Are you living fully where you are at? Are you living in each and every moment? Are you learning and growing in each and every experience thrown your way?


Are you doing all the fun activities you wanted to do when you were a freshman? Football games, formals, intermurals, and dorm events? 


Are you doing fun, memorable things with friends like late nights, coffee breaks, lunch dates and an occasional shopping trip?


Am you still studying hard like you promised Pop-Pop on high school graduation day? Are you striving to get A's and a couple B's? Are you keeping your GPA up to receive the scholarships you need to graduate without tons of student loans?


Are you dating anyone? If so, are you being careful, wise, but also having fun? If not, are you remembering to keep the attitude you had in high school? You promised yourself you wouldn't settle for anyone less than what you deserved. Are you being true to yourself? 


Have you crossed anything off your bucket list? Have you taken fun roadtrips with friends yet? Have your traveled internationally again?


Did you try to get an internship or shadowing job? Are you trying to expand your boundaries? Are you beginning to think where you would apply for a job? 


Did you get plugged into a church you love? Are you still following Christ with everything you have? Are you making daily time for Him? Are you serving Him fully?


Remember the words of Addie, that she wrote in your graduation guest book! "You can never be moved if you are anchored in the Lord. And remember wherever you are at, be there fully."

Top 10 Tuesday: Bucket List

Here we go for week 3 of Top 10 Tuesday! Show me the Top 10 things on your bucket list! Note: this is not an impossible bucket list ie: climb Mt. Kilimanjaro    or win the Nobel Peace Prize. I want goals that I know I can probably reach. Luckily for me, I found most of mine in picture form via Pinterest! I can't wait to see what is on y'all bucket lists! 

1-

2-

The way that I'm in a starbucks rut,

it could take quite a while!

3-

4-

I've never done this before.

Summer 2012?

5-

I live no where NEAR a beach,

therefore it goes on the bucket list.

6-

ahhh Paris and London.

someday

7-

I've been to about half of them 

and driven through about 35. 

8-

I'm always changing my mind about what

 I want to do when I "grow-up" ha! 

remember this post? 

Hopefully, I'll have a job that travels!

9-

Yes I know! This is simple.

It seems easily reachable.

But, I don't see it happening for at least 10 years

therefore it goes on the bucket list.

10- 

This seems like something that shouldn't

be on a bucket list, because it should come

so naturally. Something that isn't a life goal.

not for me my friends!

Happy Valentine's Day too! :)
