This past weekend I went and visited Lacey. It is always fun and nice to go visit her and Kate in SC.  Lacey is one person who I have stayed close with since college. My mom always told me that I would be able to count my true friends on one hand when I died. I include Lacey in those few and far between “true friends”.  I look at Lacey, Keith, and Kate as my extended family.

Whenever I visit Lacey it brings things into perspective. It makes me realize where I am in my life and where I want to go….or what I do/do not want to happen   We had a talk in the car about how life doesn’t always take us where we expect. I came to realize during this talk that I am pretty content with my life right now. I’m not quite ready to have a family yet. I know that this is something that I want for the future, but just not right now. A year ago, I would have told you that I was never getting married.

On a different note, this weekend I move into my new apartment. I am excited but nervous on how I am going to be able to afford to do this. Things will work out, they always do.

School is also starting soon. I am looking forward to this summer ending. This has been the most stressful and drama filled summer since I moved to NC 3 years ago. I am looking forward to having a schedule again and being roommate drama free. Graduate classes are also starting so that will keep me busy.

I think this year (I mark my years by the school year beginning) is going to bring about some changes. I look forward to see what God has in store for me and my friends
