Time Changes Everything

I need to do a better job of keeping this updated. I think I am going to take on the blogging challenge. I typically have something to say so why not write it down? lol
Wow, there's certainly been a lot that's changed since the last post...
I went to Auburn for a week in May as my final goodbye for Beth, Claire, & Justin's graduation. That was certainly sad and felt like I was leaving Auburn all over again. May was busy traveling and adjusting from classes to work. I met someone at the end of May who I spent the summer dating. My summer was nothing short of amazing and ridiculously busy. Between my trips, the boy, and work there wasn't much time for anything else. My jobs this summer were awesome as well. I loooved getting to babysit Josh and Tucker again this summer. I also got the opportunity to help Kellie with the children's ministry which is something I have always wanted to do. So summer couldn't have been better and certainly not what I was expecting it to be.
Starting school back in August was rough for many reasons. It was hard getting back into the swing of things after a summer off. Also, things didn't work out with the guy I was dating either so that was hard to handle as well.
It's now been 2 months into the semester and I wish I could say things are better but I'm not quiet there yet. I am doing a lot of traveling and going home. I don't like to be in Kennesaw if I can help it. I also know all these struggles will make me stronger but I have a lot to work through until I can get to that point.
I am however so incredibly thankful for the wonderful people in my life. I have been reminded once again of how blessed I am through this negative circumstance. Everyone has been so wonderful, encouraging, and patient with me.
I am also humored because I had never understood the saying "the more things change the more they stay the same" but that has been true for this semester. Beth & I were laughing the other day at the things we use to get upset about when we lived in Auburn and the songs we liked to hear that related to that time in our life. Ironically those are some of the same songs that still apply to our lives now just in a different way. We also use to get so annoyed at our current situation at that time and now what we would give for one more day in the sweet town of Auburn, I sure do miss my "happy place."
Life is constantly changing and there are no guarantees. But for now, I need to focus on me and enjoying my life despite my circumstances. I have come a loooooong way since I moved here a year ago and a lot has taken place. This is the first time is a long time if not ever that all my closest friends with the exception of a couple live in the state of Georgia. So I need to take advantage of that before it's too late. But I know things will get better and I have a lot of exciting experiences in my future.
