A life worth living for-

Life is beautiful..Life is unique...Life presents endless opportunities..Life is but a breath..Life is a constant struggle...Life is a dream, a walk, a run...Life is a smile, falling in love, giving life... Life truly is beautiful.

I went back to school this weekend for Alumni weekend to volunteer and I realized on my drive where I am in life right now...where I want to be...and what has been my distraction. I watched people who succeeded in their lives, people who met at 5oth reunions and fell in love leading them to marriage.

I feel as though I'm journeying through my life..going 100 miles/hr. I worry about the little details.. I think about what I need to do and how I'm not succeeding but I just want to be satisfied. My issue is patience and I pray that I can trust that God will get me through my worries.

Life really is beautiful-

Here I go Again on my own...

Well it's been a whole month of me being home! Whew.. I can't even handle it..lol- So much has been going on!!! Bridal Showers, Dani's Birthday, working here and there, spending family time, helping people move into their new places, relaxing...creating =)  It's been a month of chaos but it's been lovely in it's own way. It's nice to be home to help out where I can. Unfortunately I wish I had a better job but so far this is the way it's suppose to be. 

The girls and I have had some fun times..taking Dan downtown and then Em out for her bachelorette shindig! So it's been a good time. Fury in the Field @ the hunters valley farm went down well! haha.. Life in general is looking up.  There are some places that are lacking in my life but I'm hoping to work on them- Austrailia '10 can't come soon enough! For now I'm just trying to take everything in and realize how everyone's lives around me are changing. I wonder if I'm changing..even though I don't have major events like weddings or babies coming my way.

Life is too short, we really must appreciate everything we have because we never know when it will end.  Relationships come and go but in the end the ones that really matter will still be a constant even if they are strained.

"Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams"- Here I go again, Whitesnake

Sweet goodbyes..hello summer!

Let the good times roll!!! =)  School is over.. junior year- done, completed... I can't believe it! I feel like I literally blinked and it was gone.  This year was definitely my hardest, hands down but thankfully I was able to keep things together.  Some of my best moments this semester include... maple olympics and dressing up as spiderman, The Big Event community service project, MISO festival, volunteering at Head Start, Mothmann, spring fling, black and white formal... and many others-  There was a lot of laughter and some tears but in the end the finish was strong!

I was able to achieve something I have never been able to do academically and I really do not know how it was possible with everything that was going on!!! I am just thankful that I am able to get a good education- I love love school and all of my professors. I couldn't be more blessed.

I will miss all of my friends.. Summer is really a bittersweet feeling.. I miss all of my friends back at school yet I'm so happy to be home with all of my girls!!! The shenanigans have already begun!  haha-

Celebrating Dan's 21st Birthday-sober =)

Keep holding on-

Ok, I'm just going to write everything out so I feel better... 

I'm really frustrated with a quantitative project I'm working on with my group.  I hate whenever you put so much time and effort into something yet you don't get the results you are looking forward.  For example.. Today I went to the library and ran SPSS tests from 10-12 and then again from 4-5:30 and finished them, saved them, and they wouldn't open-  I was sooo upset after taking hours to run the tests. And the worst part is that I ran them 2 times before!!! So I started crying in the dumb library. I felt like an idiot but I really wanted to contribute to my group and I really truly did everything possible to help. Ugh, I was in the lib from 4ish-9:45..I just can't wait until this semester ends.

And that is the end of my venting session...  I just need to remember that I can run to the one that will take it all away..but I must do my part as well-

Tea, comfy sweatpants, and a fuzzy blanket, and chocolate can make it all go away... Time to go study for an exam.. it never ends and I want to go to grad school! lol ..I really do and I think that is why I'm so afraid of failure yet I'm doing well in all of my classes. Sometimes I don't even understand myself.

WeeKeNdS-

I <3 weekends! Even when I have to stay up until 3 a.m.-  Lately I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed but this is normal for everyone in my major right now so I'm not alone which is comforting.  We have about 5 more weeks of school left and I cannot wait !!! Summer can't come soon enough- Working at Weis and chatting up the cute older people- hopefully kayaking and camping...so many things to look forward to and then for my next, last semester on -campus... I'll be off-campus =)

I'm so excited to have my own place... with 4 classes only on tues/thurs..hmm senioritis? Idk if that's what I should call it..but after this year I need a bit of a break. And then Austrailia spring '10, I hope! Grad school right after...it seems so far but I know it'll be here before I know it.  I just need to stay focused and remember that I am not going to be perfect in everything.

I think I get so caught up in my goals and dreams that I exhaust myself in the process.  I know it requires steps and time but I just want to be successful and achieve all of my goals.  I hope and pray that I can give all of my worries to God about my future. Only He knows what's in store for my life.
