"A human life is a story told by God" ~Hans Christian Andersen

It has been a while since I've gotten to write on here.  A lot has happended in these past few days of my life.  I have to say that Thanksgiving break was AMAZING!!  I was able to spend it with my dear family and friends who mean the world to me!  Although I am still catching up on lost sleep from Black Friday, pretty much lost a whole night's sleep to shopping.  I found some great deals =)

Over break I was able to spend quality time with my family, which is so nice since I'm always so busy at school.  I also got to see a lot of close friends from home, we went out to dinner a few times and of course did the Black Friday thing with some fun girls!!  We shopped till we dropped!! 

Early Saturday morning I received a call that my first grade sweetheart had been shot and killed.  This was so hard to believe since Devin was so full of life and always had a smile on his face.  Its so hard to understand how God works, but he does work in mysterious ways and you just have to trust in him<3  I spent some time with Devin my freshmen year, we watched Marley and Me, he would visit me at Chick-fil-a when I was working and we would chat on myspace.  Its so hard seeing a dear friend like Devin go, but knowing he is with the Lord is so comforting and warming.  I can still remember back to the first grade when we were "boyfriend and girlfriend", I can still remember his cute, adorable smile!  Losing a friend or loved one is such a tough thing to deal with.  I lost my dear Grandmother Marguerite "Nana Alley" last year.  She was my inspiration, my role model, and a tough lady.  I looked up to her so much and loved her dearly.  She will always hold a special place in my heart<3
