Off to Neverland!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year! I had a wonderful and restful holiday but it went by so quickly! My mom and I were able to spend some quality time together in the kitchen along with the help of my wonderful grandma! I don't think I have ever cooked that much, we cooked for 17 people on Christmas Eve and it was a smash hit!

I also have recently become obsessed with cooking! I don't know what it is about cooking but I have been bitten by the cooking bug! I made three different batches of cookies and three pound cakes for Christmas, all homemade! Ever since I became interested in cooking my dad had been hounding me to cook him some homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. So I finally had all of the ingredients I needed and made some for him! They were a success, I even had a little fun tweaking the recipe to make it my own! Luckily I haven't had any "Miss Grace" moments in the kitchen! Now every cook knows how wonderful the kitchen aid stand mixers are and I had my eye on a green one! Well, I asked for it for Christmas and didn't get it but I thought well my birthday is coming up in February maybe mom and dad will get it for me then! But the day after New Years my mom, dad and I went to the mall and just stepped in Williams-Sonoma and low and behold they had the exact mixer on sale! So guess who bought it! I did! It was my Christmas present to me! I am so excited about it and I can't wait to put it to good use!


Today was the first day of classes which means it is my last first day as a college student! Ahhh...scary I know! I don't know where the time has gone. My time here at N.C. State has been absolutely wonderful and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Although I only had two classes today (Social Dance and Horticulture) I also had my first job interview, which went extremely well! Over the past few weeks I have been critiquing my resume and searching for jobs and I have come to realize that growing up is no fun. A large part of me just wants to join Peter, Wendy and Tinkerbell and fly off to Neverland and never grow up! I know that the Lord is going to do amazing things in my life and I have complete trust in Him but it is extremely scary to think that I will be a grown up in just a few short months! I can't wait to see what adventures I will experience this semester but I am looking forward to them!

Please pray for me as I am trying to figure out what the Lord has planned for my life. Pray that I keep an open mind. Also, pray that I would be able to enjoy these last few months as a college student and that I wouldn't get to caught up in planning for the future!

Check back in soon for more updates! God bless!
