trying out this blogging thing

So i have read many blogs over the years and get a great laugh from most of them. I figured this blogging thing has been around for years yet i have never actually done it. I always thought it was a little weird to write out your thoughts for the world to read but eh i guess none of my thoughts are really all the private so ill let you all in :)

I am about to finish my 7th semester of school, tomorrow is my last day. It is so hard to believe i am about to graduate from college.I feel that over the past 4 years my life has changed so much. I have learned so much about myself and about the things God has for me. I have grown up so much compared to where i was when i was 18. I have met so many people over my college years and so many people have come in and out of my life. It is amazing to see the different seasons i have had come and go within the past 4 years and i have learned so much within each season.

Although i have had so much change over the past 4 years i realized that family always remains the same. Not necessarily as people they never change but as a family we always find the same things comforting. I am sitting here at midnight watching "Whose Line Is It Anyways" with my brother, a tradition we have carried on for almost 8 years without actually noticing it has become a tradition. For some reason Jay and i can never seem to go to bed before 1AM even if we have to be awake at 7:00 we always stay up and watch TV together. Its something so simple but one of the few things i missed when i lived in Abilene. When i think about my life changing and the new chapters i have ahead, it is things like watching stupid shows with Jay and the comfort of just being home that i will miss the most.

I am going to be a real grown up next year with a real job which is exciting yet scary at the same time. I change my mind almost everyday on where i want to teach and where i want to be. Today i was working in the childcare room at Zachs Club and they were watching "suite life on deck" which is these two boys whose mom is a singer on a cruise ship and the boys live on the boat and go to school there. So as of right now my goal is to become a teacher on a cruise ship. I dont think things like this really exist but i figured it was worth a shot. Some days i want to just stay in Lubbock and teach in schools i am familiar with but other days i want to move to Seattle, Austin, San Fransisco or anywhere fun. But if there is one thing i have learned over the years it is; usually whatever i plan in my head is not what God has planned for me. Its something i just got to ride out till the very end and see where i end up.
