That was heavy!

Apologies, that last post was a little heavy for this blog! I need to remind myself to keep this one light and fluffy!

Mom and Dad came to visit, and we all went shooting! Fun! Here's some happy pictures! :)

The Beginning of the End

Summer is coming to a close, and I start school on Thursday. I am taking Multigenre, New Journalism, and Creative Writing Seminar. (With Martinez, Guylas, and Westoff, respectively).  


This is the beginning of the end. 


What does that mean? I have 2 more quarters left. That's approximately 25 weeks until commencement. I will have my BA English, Creative Writing emphasis. I will have nearly 19 years of school under my belt. I will have a husband. I will have opportunities. I will have decisions. 


My mind is spinning. 


My purpose has always been to move forward. That seems like a common thread among humans. We want to move forward. We want to get to what is next. 
When we don't know what is next it is scary.


I think it's true even more so for girls. We are always looking forward to the next thing. Life is happening around us, but it will be so much better next year. It will be so much better when this happens. 


Does it ever get to that point where you're not waiting for the next thing? You're looking around you, thinking about your life, and saying, "I can live with this. Just like this. Forever?" 


Why not?
