Hello world!
Today is the first full day of my life as an alumnus of the great University of Georgia. What does this mean right now? It means saying thank you to a million people. The ones who come up and say Congratulations. The ones who've been there for me forever. The ones that have provided for me. The ones who have given me presents. My teachers. My mentors. My church. My friends. My family. God. I really could not have done it without you. Things over time become clearer. The reasons people said things that they said make more sense. The wisdom that adults have been giving me my whole life is left to be reevaluated because now it is so applicable. So much has happened over these last 3 1/2 years. I have made some friends that I hope will last a lifetime. (Lily I am holding you to our walks) (Kelly I am holding you to our trip to NY) I have had some experiences that I will probably never have again. I am lucky. This has been a time of happiness and joy and support. Really support is the big thing. People were always telling me that I was doing ok and making sure that I had everything that I really needed.
Now to the future. I have a wonderful man that has waited so patiently for me to finish this great accomplishment. He encouraged me and never pressured me to quit my dreams. Instead, we conquered together what many people believe to be one of the hardest things to go through in a relationship. We worked through hard times and the impatience that comes with being young. We worked through not understanding the other's position because we lived such different lives. I am so excited to now be able to go to him and become his wife as the best person I can be with no regrets about what could have been because now we know it was and is.
The next 3 months WILL be crazy. There is so much to do and decide and make sure happens. But I know, without a doubt, that that day will be one of the most happy days of my life. And DEFINITELY, the most happy so far. So much will change. My address. My name. My social life. My church. But other things will stay the same. My family. The way I feel for Chris. My love for Jesus. The education that I have achieved.
I can't wait to start the new part of my life.
Yay!
