What a difference just a few years can make in your life. For example: When I was just starting college, a crazy, party-animal 18-19 year old I thought "I'm NEVER getting married or settling down and I am DEFINITELY NOT having any kids... I'm not even sure I want a dog b/c I'm gonna be all over the place." Now at almost 23 I've got a lotta different views let me tell you. Its just so funny to think about isn't it? You honestly believe in all those things and then ONLY two or three years later you've already gone past second guessing those ideas, but now you totally don't agree with them. I've decided I do want to have kids, I definitely want a dog (for real I can't WAIT til I can have one... like a little crazy Jack Russel Terrier or a fuzzy little golden retriever or a well-behaved and beautiful swiss mountain dog), and I really do want to settle down with just one person someday. I may not be ready for that quite yet, but I'm feeling ok about the idea of that happening in the future.

I'm going to live life still, of course... I've got plans for Americorps, working with my Uncle down in Alabama, working on boats in Key West (I've got a sweet hook-up), or just working w/ my parents landscaping in the summer and then traveling or maybe living near the Old Port in the winter... I dunno what will really happen or work out and thats alright. I just am glad I've got ideas and that I'm ok with not knowing exactly what I'm going to do.

But thats all I've got for now. I gotta go to work now... boooo.

much peace.
