coastin' on a dream

Hello my dear friends! You haven't heard from me in a while, so I'll just give you a rundown of how my life has been the past little while.

These past few months have been a bit of a wild ride for me. I've had some major alterations in my life, and in turn have changed myself quite a bit. My best friend is out of my reach for the next two years; which has been one of the most difficult challenges of my life, but it has also been one of the most rewarding experiences thus far. I have learned more about myself this past month than ever before. I’ve been up, and I’ve been down. I’ve been backwards, sideways, and inside-out. I’m discovering who I am, who I’ve been, and who I’m meant to be. You might be a little confused of why I had to lose the man I love to find the person I really am. A wise person once said, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. So, here’s a few thousand words for you to feast upon while you ponder.

I've discovered really how strong I can be.

I've found joy in the little things.

I've cried in the Lion King musical.

I've pulled really great pranks.

I've laid on the beach and played in the waves.

I've found FUN things to do, in the most boring of places.

I've come closer to Christ, even on the hardest nights.

I've met amazing friends, and seen amazing bands.

I've laughed like never before.

I've snuck in to the Aggie football stadium at midnight, and beat 3 football players at football. 

I've taken risks and accomplished things I never thought possible.

I've cried more passionately than ever before.

I've remembered the good times.

I've discovered new talents.

I've learned to love life, especially my job!

 (my face doesn't exactly prove it in this picture though)

and I've loved him more than ever before.

When life gave me lemons, I made some pretty good freakin' lemonade. God gives us experiences so we can learn about ourselves through our choices. I quote the Black plague when I say "which seat can I take?" I'd like to think she chose the driver's seat. That's the seat I'd take. Where I can watch out the window as the world passes by, but have the ability to steer myself in any direction I choose. Life is beautiful!
