I honestly do not know where I would be right now if I didn't have God in my life.
Lately, not so great things have been happening, and I've had a lot of decisions to make.
And, to be honest, I think I'm making the best decision for me, and I really don't care what other people have to say about it.
I just wish they knew where I was coming from instead of saying that I'm doing this for all the wrong reasons.
The thing is, I know I'm doing this for the right reasons.
I personally feel like if God didn't want me to do this, He wouldn't have given me the opportunity to see for myself if I would be able to handle it.
I pray everyday for a sign that will lead me closer to reality. Some days I get them, some days I don't.
But I know it's a part of God's plan. He will tell me what I will do when it's the right time.
I just have to be patient. Please be patient.

SSP
Well, friends. It's been done.
I've applied for staff!
I must say it was rather difficult time, why, you may ask?
Well because:
1. You have essay questions that require tons of thinking.
2. You have to wait for both of your references to finish their part before even considering your for an initial phone interview.
3. The phone interview.
Yep, today I had my phone interview with the fabulous Rick Eaton, Director of SSP.
He may be kindasortamaybereally intimidating, because I mean, c'mon, it's RICK EATON, but he is a super nice guy and I had the pleasure talking to him today!
I feel like I answered his questions the best to my ability, and lucky me, he said I'm going through to the next round of phone interviews, Site Director edition! WAAAAAAAH <3 I couldn't be anymore excited for March to come around! And then after that, we'll see who wants to hire me. Hopefully someone will want to!
The best part is...it means I'm that much closer to my dream. Yep, my dream. I have wanted to do this for about four years, and now, I able to do it! This opportunity means the world to me, and I really hope I can prove not only to Rick, but also to any one of those Site Directors, that I'm the person that will do their best at whatever task they are put at.
I want this. I want this so bad.
So, prayers, thoughts, and luck are encouraged and appreciated.
Until then!!
Love,
Brittany Lauren

A Dedication to the Gilbert Girls
Well, here it goes...
I just wanna start out by saying that I miss you all so much.
Even as a semester has gone by now, it's still hard to get over the fact I can't see you all as much as I would like,
especially when we've all been together for years and years.
I also wanted to let you know how much you all mean to me.
I mean, we've been through so much together, and there have been so many times I've wanted to come home to see you all.
I miss everything. I miss church, SSP, lunch dates at Oreganos, sleepovers, girls nights, everything.
It makes me sad that we can't do these things as often as we were able to before, and doing it with other people just doesn't feel the same. I don't know about you guys, but that's how I feel.
And another thing, I know I can come off as rude and a brat, because I tend to just blurt things out and not realize you guys may get mad. And I just wanted to apologize for anything that could have made you want to hate my guts or look at me like I'm an idiot. I've been learning to not be so quick with what I have to say and realize if I'm gonna hurt someone's feelings. I want you guys to know that I love you all very much and I would never even try to start drama or be mean in any possible way.
You guys are my best friends, and I wouldn't trade the world for you girls. And as I sit here, tears are falling down my face because I feel like we may be loosing the close connection we once had, and I pray to God every day that it never happens. I never want to lose that connection with any of you! And I know it's hard because we are at different schools, but I believe that we will always be there for each other. Hello?! I want you girls to be in my wedding! And I will be honest, I did believe at one point that the whole "being there for each other" was a lie, but the more I think about everything we've done together over the years, I was absolutely 1000000% stupid for even considering that to be a thought. I've NEVER cared about a group of people more than you, and I'm pretty sure I never will.
This is my promise to you guys:
I promise to be there for every single one of you. If you feel like you have no one to turn to, just know I'll be there.
I promise to become a better person. I never want you guys to feel like I can't be trusted or I'm not a good enough friend.
I promise to come to you guys if I have a problem, because I know you guys give me the best advice.
I promise to keep the promise we made our last year of SSP: We'll be best friends forever. And I will never second guess that promise ever again.
I promise.
So, Ashley, Jessie, Jordan, Maddie, Kim, and Stephanie, I love you with all of my heart. Without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today. You may not know it, but you have taught me so many things, and I thank God every night that we've known each other for so long. I hope you read this, maybe you will and maybe you won't. Just know that I think about you all everyday, and I with school will fly by so we all can be together once again. And, let's all get ooVoo so we can have group dates :) Catching up and chats are definitely needed. I miss you all, have a great second semester, and kick some butt! :)
Love,
Brittany Lauren
