This is actually another difficult post for me to write. As you may have guessed if you read this post. I realize that I am still quite young at the ripe old age of 23, so I shouldn't expect to have 5 things that are equivalent to winning the Nobel Prize, or starting my own organization, or something along those lines.
So here it goes:
1. Graduating with an undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Waterloo and getting accepted afterward into Tyndale for my Masters. I know that in both these things I was following a passion that God had put in my heart and looking back following these dreams lead me to meet some of the most amazing people I've ever known. It will feel really good when all of this schooling is done though...
2. Going on two missions trips. While they were only a month long, they were two times in my life where I took a step of faith and totally relied on God for guidance and provision. I also see this as a great accomplishment because I stepped out when I knew I might "fail", this is hard for me to do.
3. Can getting married be seen as an accomplishment? Maybe if we had been married for less than a year it might be... OK I see preparing ourselves realistically for marriage as an accomplishment. We were aware that it would take work. We surrounded ourselves with positive couples, who emulated Christ-like marriages and we made sure that we talked about questions when they popped up. We understood from the beginning that our marriage would be in dangerous waters if Christ was not our center. We learned this the hard way a few times in our year and a half of dating/engagement.
4. I am probably the fastest at eating Jello with no hands/utensils that has ever graced the Camp Key-Mon-Oya dinning hall. It's not bragging if it's the truth right? You understand that it's quite the accomplishment if you've ever tried to eat Jello quickly with no hands/utensils before. It's all in the slurping action.
5. Y'all I honestly cannot think of a 5th accomplishment. So if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just that you think I do the best impression of a cow...I'll take what I can get folks.
I've been feeling the urge to write more lately, which I love but I have no idea what to write about. This is when that random cabin in the woods would be awesome. I want to sit and sip coffee on a porch and stare out into the mountains surrounded by huge trees. I want to feel a cool breeze blow across my face and to hear the sound of music playing softly in the background. Anyone have a random cabin in the middle of nowhere they'd like to lend me?
Bueller...

I hope that you all have had wonderful weeks. We're heading into what could turn out to be a fabulous weekend full of friends, fun dates, and chill time where we can just read and write. Anyone know a good place to head around Waterloo to just chill in creation?
