I like your list. It is so funny to see how much our lists have changed in the last few years :)
I don't know what weddings you have this summer, but I hope one of the ones you're excited about is the one Maeve is supposed to be in on August 14. Lindsey is worried you changed your mind (which is fine if you did) but she would really like to touch base and talk about details if you're still interested.
I am excited about...
-Graduating in a few short months and being done with school after SEVEN YEARS!!!!
-Being a DPT
-Getting a job (but not finding one)
-Having an income after 3 years of being poor
-My very own apartment for just me and Ziya
-Reducing my dosage on my meds
-Going off meds!!!???
-Spring break to St. Thomas
-1 year of freedom and counting
-A future full of possibilities
-Seeing my best friend, her amazing husband (who I would say is also a good friend), and their adorable kids sooner than later.
Love you :)

Love our coffee dates, as well. :) See you later on today as a matter of fact. :)

And no... haven't changed my mind about Lindsey's wedding this summer- that's the wedding I was actually talking about in my list.
