It has been awhile since I have written on here, something other than posting pictures with captions and comments. Life is in such a whirlwind of transition. After years with much dragging of the feet, procrastination, studying, late nights, etc., I am finished with school. I have been out since April 30th; however, I will walk the stage this Saturday. I am not sure it has fully sunk in that that part of my life is over for good. Right now it feels more like a break of sort. I am getting married next month. It is a small wedding, as we are trying to keep the budget somewhat minimal, allowing us to take our 'Around the World' research trip in the Fall. Although it may be small, there are SO many details to take care of. I have been planning this wedding for months and months, and I am at the point that it has consumed my thoughts. I drive down the road processing numbers... RSVPs, budgets, dates, and so on. Ha! My family has been such a big help, especially my mom. Jon has been a dream, being involved and supportive. I love him so much. I am moving to Arizona next month! I am trying to go through all my 'stuff' and decide what I think is worth lugging across country in my car. Sometimes I find myself in tears leaving this house, this city... my home. I have left many times, but this seems so permenant. It is a different feeling. It will be the intial move that will be hard. Jon and I are trying to plan and carefully coordinate our 'Around the World' trip. We are arranging places to visit, dates, money, etc. AND my body has been adjusting to birth control for the past couple months. Hello hormones. Haha. Well, that is my brief update! I am such a blessed girl with such a blessed life. I cannot be more thankful. |
