Family Relations is probably the one class I'm actually excited about taking this semester. Over the past year or so I've realized a lot of new things about myself including my desire to have a marriage and start a family. Luckily my boyfriend is on the same page! It did take some encouragement of course.. I love how being "perfect" was described in class. Because growing up I always felt I needed to try and be "perfect" but I didn't know what that meant. I've made plenty of mistakes and never considered myself to be perfect, only human. Having trials and hardships is what builds our character and ultimately blesses us. I don't think struggling in life is something to be ashamed of because only then are we able to relate and connect with those around us. No longer do I wan't my life to be "perfect" in the sense that nothing goes wrong, but I wan't my life to be perfect in the sense that I'm surrounded by friends and family who love and support me and I have confidence in myself to withstand the rain and have my days in the sun! I'm looking forward to a great semester and to learning so many things to prepare myself for the journey to come :)
