Six Years Ago
Last ThursdayThis year has been graduation mania for my family. First I graduated in April , then Mari graduated in May, and now little baby Misa has graduated too! (Don't worry, she just graduated from High School. If I had graduated from college at the same time as Misa...well, that would just be embarassing) Anyway, it was really weird going to her graduation. It seems like only yesterday that I was going through the exact same thing. I don't feel like I've changed at all since then...and it's been 6 years!!! I mean I still love kids' movies, I still act like a complete goof, and I still don't know what I want to do with my life.
Last Thursday
I guess looking back though, a lot has happened since graduation - college, study abroad to Japan, mission, study abroad around the world, friends' weddings, friends' baby showers. Yeah. A lot has changed. Sometimes I miss the "good old days". I miss using a locker to store all my heavy books, I miss eating lunch out on the lawn on a sunny spring day, I miss bashing around New York City on choir tour, I miss always hanging out with my best friends. But I guess that's when you have to just be grateful for the priceless experiences you had and look forward to the adventures that await you. I really got lucky with some incredible friends during high school. They're the type of friends that you know will always be there for you no matter how long you've been out of touch.
Tomorrow morning marks the beginning of a new adventure for me. Tomorrow I fly out to Atlanta to get my wings! I don't know what lies ahead, but I'm excited for all the new experiences I'm going to have and all the new friends I'm going to make! Wish me luck.
