Next chapter.

Wow. It has been a long time since I've blogged. Let me catch you up...

It's been a crazy semester! After my not-so-boring summer in Nevada, I came back and signed up for more classes at William Woods. Let's just say I pulled out with 3.25 GPA and I'm pretty darn proud of it! This was, however, my last semester at WWU because I am deferring for a semester while I get situated back in Nevada! Missouri has been great, I just feel like I need to get out on my own for a bit.
What else is new? I sold Pat (my truck) and bought Cootsie...a Kia Sportage and I love her. She's so precious, I can't wait to take her out to Nevada.
I also have a few new hobbies: knife-throwing and playing on my ukulele! I'm pretty good at knife-throwing (my uncle calls me Annie Oakley) and I kinda suck at the ukulele...for now. Practice makes perfect, right?

So let's talk about Nevada. What am I thinking, right? I'm quitting school and moving to Vegas. Let me say that again...I'm quitting school...and moving to Vegas. Am I on drugs? Maybe. A few months ago, I just felt like I needed a change of scenery. I'm also 20 and I've never lived away from my parents. Nevada wasn't my first option, either (I was looking at schools in Denver, West Palm Beach, and Texas). Nevada just kind of fell into place so I'm taking that as a sign from God that I should be there for a while. However, my heart is broken right now because I have to leave my family. I'm so blessed to have a family that loves me and supports me. I love them all so much.

So I'm moving out there on January 3rd. It'll be the start of new chapter, and new year. I don't have "resolutions" but I definitely have some goals for my time in Nevada...
1. Join a freakin' gym! It's so cliche for my first goal to be to lose weight, but who cares...
2. Missions. Missions. Missions. WHY am I calling myself a Christian if I'm not living out my faith? C'mon Kinzi, you can do better.
3. $$$
4. Meet new people. And love them.
5. Have fun! I'm 20...I'm supposed to be having fun, right?

So here's to [another] new chapter in my life. I'm ready! I think...
