So, I'm not posting this quote along side this picture to somehow convey that the coffee at Denny's was so amazing because, well, it wasn't. We returned to our neighborhood also lit up with luminaries and we wrote our pretend Santa letter and read a couple of Christmas stories before sleeping the night away. Following that was the getting of pie and coffee at Village Inn where laughter was shared and hyperness and joy started running through our veins.
Always a beautiful and still candlelit service and a sermon that makes you reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas and what a big deal it was for Christ to come down to earth as a baby. Following that was Christmas Eve service which never disappoints. After eating, we went to a close by neighborhood that also gets pretty decked out for Christmas and enjoyed different decorations and some of our old favorites. :D Then we opened our one Christmas present (which is always a book) before going out to eat at a lovely, quaint place called Cristinos. Each story was busy, yes, but surprisingly friendly! Plus, it was an adventure and most stores also had samples. Then we came home and it was soon to be Christmas! Christmas Eve my family and I went to and called up about 8 different stores to find an ingredient we needed for our Christmas roast which we did finally find (thank goodness). There were so many little blessings that I didn’t see right away but I see now. I got to spend a lot f time with my friend Heidi before she got a job as a nurse at Tampa General. I got to spend quality time with my El Salvadorian friend Claudia who was able to spend a week here in FL. I got to help out with my church’s VBS which I am unsure if I will be able to do this Summer.

I got to go on a wonderful trip to GA where I went blackberry picking and made blackberry pie and went to a drive-in movie theater all for my first time.
I also, looking back, got to see the little blessings I received in not having a job for the summer. I also was reminded how much I love working with kids. I also learned that I was wrong and I was needed back at the preschool. I knew there was a purpose and it was a blessing that God gave me a job that day. However, as the Summer went on and I wasn’t getting anywhere, I finally reached out to the preschool and the very same day that school started back up again for my younger sister and my older sister Gracie started up her new job as a teacher, I got a call back from that preschool asking me to start as soon as possible. It may have been a seemingly small thing, but I feel like it improved my acting skills and was something I’ll always treasure. I also got to be apart of my very first improve show put on by the drama club. It was a lot of firsts and it really did grow me. I also got featured and had a newspaper article written about my friend and I in a newspaper as well. But on the academic side, I also got the very wonderful opportunity of being a media intern for a couple of days at SUN’NFUN in Lakeland where I got an article published in their newspaper. There were a lot of Disney movie nights, coffee, and taco bell runs. Of course, I never have forgotten the friendships made in the Fall semester of 2015 that I didn’t get to see as often, but it was nice to make more and grow with them too.
One of the major things in my life was getting to deepen in friendships made at the end of 2015 and make new friendships too. I had some really neat things happen and really cool opportunities in my last semester. Well, let’s start with my last semester of college.
