2021 has been quite the year and it has come to a close. Before the new year begins with more activities and milestones ahead, here is a look back at what 2021 had in store. It was definitely one of my most eventful years to date and it was a good year overall.

January
In January I watched the Passion conference which ended on New Years
Day, started school online at Texas State University, and it snowed a
little bit one day.
February
In February we had a big snow storm that left us (and most of Texas)
without water and electricity for a while. It was an adventure for sure.
March
In March my friends and I went to the This Is Mesmerize art gallery in
Austin, I watched the IF:Gathering conference online, I began writing
monthly letters for the women's ministry at my church, and my family and
I went on a canoe and kayaking trip for a day.
April
April consisted of my 21st birthday(!) with a weekend long party and
trying out a bunch of new places, my mom and I went to a Danny Gokey
concert, I started co-leading the young adult Bible study at church, and
my friends and I went to a speaking event with Jamie Ivey.
May
My spring semester ended, I got my second ear piercings, I went to the
San Antonio Botanical Garden, and went to a fair with alpacas (which were
very cute) and booths to shop for Cinco de Mayo.
June
In June, summer classes and the Delight (a campus women's ministry)
summer series began, I hosted a promotion party for a friend, traveled
to our hometown in east Texas and Lousiana for our family reunion, and
celebrated my 6th blogiversary!
July
I went to a music festival with friends, began volunterring in
children's church, launched the Abide Daily Journal, took a trip to
Corsicana, Texas for my uncle's birthday, and celebrated the 4th of July
at a concert and festival with family.
August
In August my summer classes ended, we took a family trip to Corpus
Christi, I went floating a few times with family and friends, I went to
a concert with a bunch of Christian artists, my fall semester began
which was my first semester in-person at Texas State, I did a fun
photoshoot with the Delight leadership team, and moved my brother into
college.
September
September consisted of the Delight kickoff, a recruitment meeting with a
sorority (that I later decided not to join), a fall kickoff event at
church, meetings to update a business's website, football season opened,
a trip to Waco, and a virtual For The Girl (another women's ministry)
event.
October
In October I began mentoring a girl from church, went to my school's
dean's list reception, redid my room with a new bed and decor, took a
trip to the Waco zoo, and went to Pumpkin Nights with friends.
November
I went to an on-campus worship night called United, saw the C.S. Lewis
movie about his life, had several Thanksgiving dinners, hosted
Friendsgiving, and took a trip to our hometown again.
December
In December my fall semester ended, I closed my online store Adorned
With Delight, went to several Christmas parties, saw the light show at
Mozart's coffee roasters in Austin, took another trip to Waco, saw the
movie Encanto, went to several Christmas festivals and events and looked
at many Christmas lights, visited the Fredericksburg trade days, went to
a farm with Christmas activities, had several Christmas get-togethers
with family and friends, spent an evening in Gruene, Texas with a
friend, attended the Christmas Eve service at church, took a trip to
Silver Dollar City and Wonders of Wildlife in Missouri, and hung
out with friends on New Years Eve.
In addition to the things listed above, throughout the year I
also celebrated many birthdays, had many fun girl's nights, booked
several photo sessions, went out on dates with girlfriends, attended several
football games, went to many church events, and crafted a good
bit. This year has been a year filled with good and not so good
things but all in all it was a great year and I'm thankful for where I
am today and the opportunities that I have had this year. I'm looking
forward to 2022 and what it will have in store!
