Top 13 of 2013

This is a little late but here's my reflection of the past year! I want to remember the top 13 things that happened in 2013...

1. I went to the happiest place on earth and worshipped the one and only God. I traveled with friends and had an unforgettable experience at the FOCUS SEEK Conference.

 

2. I became an aunt to Miles James Sebastian. He is an absolute joy in my life.
    
                                                                                   

 
3. I became a godmother to Miles James. What a serious and beautiful task this is! I am now assigned the duty to care and watch over my godson so that he will make his path towards Heaven and Our Lord. I cannot be more honored.

 

 
4. I completed my 4th and 5th semesters in college! I am now getting that much closer to my dream of inspiring and teaching kids!



5. I went to Spain on an unforgettable trip. I lived with the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother and was overwhelmed with Gods love and desire for me to work for His kingdom. The two weeks I spent with the Sisters was a time of prayer, reflection, and had work. I will forever be indebted to the Sisters and the lessons they taught me.


 
6. I went to Missouri and spent some much needed time with my Grandpa, Warren Wesley Willis, before he was called home to Heaven. My grandpa passed away in August after we made our trip. He was an inspiration to all of us and raised the best son who became the best dad! 


 
7. I found out that I was going to be an Aunt to another little baby in October! It was fun and exciting to find out Addie Jo was going to be an older sister! Praise God for new life!
    
                                            

8. I made the deans list for the first time. Ever. This was a shock and huge accomplishment I never thought I would ever be able to achieve! At a young age I was always the youngest sister who got the "thumbs up" instead of the A's. To be able to get passed this and achieve a goal I thought was unattainable was a wonderful surprise! 


 
9. I celebrated the life of Warren Wesley Willis with my entire family. This was a time of joy and sadness but mostly gratitude! I cannot be more thankful for my wonderful family!

 
10. I became an Aunt to Benedict Wayne Raddatz! He is such a happy and joyful little boy! My favorite moments is getting to just cuddle and allow for this tiny little man to rest in my arms. By far one of the greatest feelings in the world is holding that new little life.

 
11. People say you meet the friends you will keep for the rest of your life in college... And I have! I'm so blessed with friends who make me better and inspire me!

 

12. I turned 21 and stepped into adulthood! Don't worry!! I managed to not become an alcoholic ;) but have enjoyed a few drinks with friends and family. I also came to the realization that I'm growing up and soon I'll be stepping into the real world...

 

 
 
 13. I fell in love.  Sounds cheesy.  And took me by surprise. But I cant wait for what the next year will bring for me and my best friend.
