A year in the life

Oh my goodness, it has been three months since I have written a blog. Life has been extremely busy as it usually is. I can hardly believe it is 2013!! What a crazy year it has been. There were a lot of big days in my life that happened this year.
December 19th 2011(end of last year I know) - Myasthenia Gravis diagnosis
January 2nd 2012- the 1st tumor was found in my chest
February - Met the most amazing best friend I could ever have
April 29th- I was baptized
May 8th- Had open heart surgery to remove the tumor. During surgery they found a second one.
August 16th- Went back to Winona for my Sophomore year.
September- Started helping the most amazing family with 5 beautiful children who continue to bring such incredible joy to my life.
October- Met my other best friend who is such a blessing.
November-Tumor free for 6 months!! =)
December- Started working at Foursquare daycare with some of the most precious children. I am sad to leave them to go back to school, but will be home again in the summer to work with them.

Throughout every month there were trials but  my faith has continued to grow. This year was the scariest year of my life. I grew so much closer to God because I put every ounce of my trust in him. I could not have made it through this year without God, my loving and supportive family, Nathan, and some very very special friends who I hold very close to my heart.

This year I have several new goals, but the biggest one is to remain strong in my faith and to keep God as my number one. I want to live every day to please him. I am trusting in him completely to guide me through the challenges that I will face.

I pray that everyone has a safe, happy and blessed 2013

Love you all soo much!!!
