What's the word? Oh, epic.

I am epically thankful.

I am thankful for three weeks and two days with my sweetie. I am thankful for time with the best family in the history of ever, for a full schedule starting on Wednesday (albeit I'm stressed), for my insanely wonderful friends, for the time I got to travel this year, for my beloved England, for the inspirations of the world and for the tears, laughs and changes. Also, I am thankful that this is my last semester of school.

I can't believe that this year has been one
of backpacking across Europe,
of a relationship spanning Tennessee to the UK,
of a new best-best-best (epic level) friend living in Buffalo,
of new best friends from all over the world,
of learning about and accepting people's differences,
of understanding and experiencing the distances love can travel,
of a senior semester of grades I can be proud of,
of transition,
of learning,
of ideas &
of growth.

I do know that I am welcoming 2013 with open arms. Time for change that is needed. We can take those positive steps towards goals we all can achieve. Okay, done with the new year talk.
