Another day, another year

Since a lot of people are reminiscing about the year and doing a review of 2013, I thought I'd join the party and do one as well :) So here goes!

This year was a new start in studying. I was so over the previous year and was ready for a new environment and unlike 2012, I have no regrets of choosing this new subject to study :) It has been a very interesting and fun year studying Speech Pathology in which I learned things I never thought I would (anatomy was the craziest thing!), got to meet a whole bunch of lovely people and be able to call them friends, and get a taste of what it would be like in the profession. It was hard work I must say, but it was all very rewarding.

This guy has put me through so many emotions since the beginning that I don't even know where to begin :P But one thing's for sure: he makes me happy :) and ever since we have been together, life has been a completely different story. I have not only gotten to know him better, I learned many things about myself, patience, love, contentment and joy. The months have flown by and I hope that him and I will have many many more spent together :)

How could I forget the two concerts that I went to this year! Birdy in April with my sister and Beyonce in October with my high school best friend. They were very different from each other, one being more mellow and soothing while the other was on party mode all night; but they were both that I enjoyed very much and will remember for a long time.

 One of the things I wanted to do in 2013 was to get baptised. Many people had been asking me when I would take this step in faith and for a long time I felt like I just wasn't ready and needed to have some sort of epiphany or calling from God. But eventually, I realised  I didn't need an epiphany and it wasn't about a sudden change. As I continued growing and getting to know Christ more, I knew that I had no where else to go but towards God. He is my Saviour and there is no one else I would follow. It was a very humbling day and I was blessed to have shared it with some of my closest friends and family :)

All in all, 2013 has been a year to remember. Throughout it all, I felt like friendships were made stronger, many lessons were learnt and all the moments were filled with joy and laughter. It has been an incredibly fun year and it would not have been the same without the people in my life - both family and friends. So many memories made! And I hope the new year will bring on many more memories, joys and laughter.

Bring on 2014! Happy New Year!
