Dear Mindy

Dear Mindy of 2014,
Hey! It's me! Future you! What up? I know what's up. Haha.
Here you were a year ago. You went to Chelsey and Lynsie's house for a New Years party and you were a little apprehensive about the new year. For reals. You had fun and laughed. You wished you had more friends like that in your life. You ran around the street with a suitcase just hoping that you would travel this year. You went home that night and wondered about the new year.
Well! 2014 was amazing. I can hardly think back on it without feeling so grateful and so happy about everything.
First off, you travel. Don't even worry about that. Well, maybe your bank account should. Haha. It's an expensive hobby but your wanderlust is the driving force. You visit so many fun and new places. Your trip to New York is a dream. You see so many friends and have so much fun experiencing new places with new people. I can't wait for what 2015 holds in the travel department. Already 2 trips planned! :) it's the best.
You have an amazing experience reading the Book of Mormon this year. It changes your whole life! It helps you make huge changes for the better. God guides you.
You know I hate giving things away... Because part of the fun is not knowing and learning as you go.
But you do move. To a great place with best friends. You have more friends in your life and more fun times. You feel more like you. The temple becomes so important to you. Love very minute of it.
Work. It's tough to love at the beginning of the year. It's hard to want to keep showing up. But it gets better. You have amazing coworkers who become really good friends. You hang out with them outside of work! And your job becomes something you love and get involved with.
You get new family members this year! So exciting. You have the best times with them all. Love them. Christmas is amazing. The best one ever.
Well, that's all I'll tell you. Run more. Sleep less. Love more. Stress less.
Then eventually you'll get to where I am tonight. Sitting at the charge nurse desk at work at 1am. :)
Love,
Mindy of 2015
