********2nd Semester WCU**********
So much has happened in the last Few months here at WCU!!
January: This month I turned another year older and another year wiser. I also got to spend a little time in Concord with my best college friends for Tay Jays Birthday. January was a pretty dull month just because half of it was Christmas break but all in all it was pretty awesome. I spent my 19th Birthday with my Amazing Friends and Family and I couldn't have asked for a better Birthday. This month we also visited App State which was a lot of fun because it still showed me that ASU is where I have to be to fulfill my dreams.
February: This month was pretty great. I spent a lot of time getting so excited for the arrival of my nephew. This month was also very busy with the amount of school work that I had to do. February was also the month I got ACCEPTED to ASU!! Go Mountaineers!! With my acceptance I have been forced to decide what I truly want and the decision that I made was that I want to double major. I will spend the rest of my college time here at WCU and then transfer to ASU and spend two years there getting another degree. At this point in my life this is what makes the most sense and I can't Imagine not graduating with my friends here at Western after all we have been through the last year. I couldn't imagine having to walk across the stage without them.
March: March 1st my Nephew Aiden Riley Candler, Born at 6:57pm, 20 1/4 in, 7 lbs 14 oz.. He is the most beautiful little boy on the face of the earth and I am so proud to be his Aunt. There has been no greater joy then to get to hold this little miracle and know that I will get to watch him grow up and be part of his life. I love my little cupcake and I am going to be the best Aunt I possibly can be. Every time I hold him or see him I love him more than the last time and I know that he will always have that special place in my heart that nobody can fill. This month has been awesome not only because of the birth of Aiden but also because I found out that another one of my best friends is having a baby as well and I am so excited to be an aunt to another little miracle. This month has been pretty insane and busy but so worth it all. This month has shown me how much I love my life and everyone in it.
In the upcoming months I will be finishing my Freshmen year here at WCU and then starting my First Real Job at a daycare. I will be attending WCU in the Fall and living off campus in an apartment which I am really excited about. This year has really made me grow up and realize how much I love my life and that God is so in control of EVERYTHING. I don't think it was an accident or mistake or even a coincidence that I met Alison and Taylor, I think it was the plan all along. God knew I needed them more than anything else this year and I got awesome Friends that will last a lifetime. Alison has been awesome all year long with being willing to listen and be there for me when and wherever. She has filled a spot that I needed her to and has done an awesome job at doing it. I couldn't have gotten through this year without her. She is one of my Best Friends and will always stay that way. Even though we aren't very expressive towards our feelings on our friendship I'm going to take a moment and just say how much she truly is loved and appreciated. We may argue or get annoyed with each other sometimes but that is just the qualities we share alike that make our friendship the way it is. This semester has truly showed me how much I really value our friendship and how hard it's going to be when one of us ends up leaving rather it be me going to ASU or her going off to England. Taylor, She is freakin awesome and I am so thankful for her. She has been so great all year and has really tought me a few lessons, one in which I learned today. She has always been there no matter what and she is the happy go lucky type of person and Makes everyone around her happy as well. I love spending time with her when it's just us because I learn more and more about her that I never knew before. Tay Jay is the only good thing that came out of my roommate situation and I am so glad that I stuck that horrible situation that I was in because had I not I would have never met Taylor. She is one amazing person and is one of the most talented, fun, loving people I have ever met. I truly am a better person because I know both Taylor and Alison and had I not come to WCU I would have missed out on some of the greatest friendships ever. I am so excited to see what the next three years will hold for us.
