Lasso: The Lost Levels

This semester has been a very rough one for me, emotionally. Now that it's over, I've had a bit of reflection time and although I technically should be packing and cleaning for my trip tomorrow (shh...don't tell Ethan!) I felt like blogging about this semester and sharing a few pictures I didn't get a chance to share these past few months. 

This season was truly a test in our lives. There were points where the both of us were tired, frustrated, and hated each other. I went home this semester with one of the most severe panic attacks I have ever had. I struggled with depression, and anxiety. I didn't get out of the house, I quit hanging out with other people and I lost my sense of who I was. But recent events have made things waaay easier for the both of us. I'm working on managing my anxiety, and Ethan is currently doing stretches for his upcoming 21st birthday. I'm excited for the holidays, and looking forward to whatever 2013 has in store for me! 

I want to take a minute to thank everyone who has been there for me this semester. My friends, coworkers, and people on Facebook who have given me encouragement over these last few months. To my family, who has kept me motivated and taken care of me lately, I have no words to express my gratitude. And to my boyfriend, Ethan, I love you. I cannot wait to start 2013 and my last Spring at UNT together! :)

with love, ty:)
