Fun pictures to share! Yippee!!! First of all, the new sunset background is from Big Break, which was absolutely amazing... Here are a few more pics of this beautiful place I stayed!
Pretty, ain't it? Here's what my family sent me for my birthday...
Daisies and a tiramisu birthday cake!!! Yummmmm... And of course, some fun pics from my voice recital tonight:
Hope y'all enjoyed the photos. If you're sad you missed my recital and wanna come to another one, I'll be singing in one on Tuesday night - 8 pm at Amado Recital Hall in Irvine. :) Thanks to those who came! It was my first recital and it meant a lot to have so many wonderful friends there. Much love to everyone! | |
So it seems my teenage years have officially been brought to a close. Yup, I'm 20. Two decades old. Weird. I have to say I'm happy about it. There is a little bit of sentimental value to the teenage years, but the really fun teenagey part of it ends when you go to college, so I kinda feel like the sentimental teenage stuff has already been gone for awhile. I'm excited because not being a teenager means I'm definitely an adult. And I think that's cool. I'm ready to be taken seriously, and I just don't think the world takes teenagers very seriously (which is a sad thing, in some respects). It's also super cool to think about the fact that as I enter the next decade of my life, there's some pretty crazy and amazing stuff ahead of me. As I close the door on teenagerhood, I open up the door of being a twenty-something (though I'm currently a twenty-nothing!) - I close the door on first dates, learning to drive and going to prom, and open the door to... graduating from college, going to grad school (probably), having my first real job, living in Germany, maybe even getting married... Is that crazy or what? It's really really cool. Up to this point, life has seemed to go by pretty slowly, but it's really gaining speed now. Still, it's really really weird to say that I'm twenty years old. Twenty. Twenty. I can't even say it yet without being like, "whoa..." Getting a birthday card from my family that said "Happy 20th birthday" was weird. It just looks and sounds soooo different from "Happy 15th" "Happy 17th" and even "Happy 19th." Happy 20th birthday. Twenty. Highlights of my day? ~being surprised with a cake and getting prayed for at Full Measure practice last night 'Twas a lovely birthday. In other news... I still feel like the world is just going way too fast, but my personal goal is to figure out how not to worry about how fast the world is going and just let the Lord lead me. This week has been a little frustrating because last week - Big Break, which I will write more about soon! - was absolutely amazing and I got to spend so much time so close to God. It was so perfect. But now there are 150 million things to do, maybe 3 of which I actually have time for, and there is so much I need to do and want to do that actually has eternal value and yet it's so hard to sift through everything. But all I can do is pray... Praise God for what He's doing. He rocks my socks off. :) |
