Oh the places you'll go...

"Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all."
-Dr. Seuss

This cake is from our "Senior Sunday" at church in May of 2009. I remember at this point in my life that I had a great group of friends, a wonderful family, a youth group that I really enjoyed, and an overall very comfortable routine. I had decided to go to Texas A&M and was excited to start a new journey in my life, but at the same time was scared to death to leave everything that I knew to be so easy and right. This Dr. Seuss quote was the theme of our lunch that day and I can remember them telling us that we had a lot to learn, a lot of people to meet, and a lot more life ahead of us.

I have really enjoyed college and all that comes with it so far. I have met so many amazing people who I'm sure will be life-long friends. I have really been challenged in my faith yet I have also grown in leaps and bounds in this same area. College has consisted of many road trips, late night studying sessions, dance parties, food (spoons!), a lot of laughter, and so much more. People tell me that this type of experience is once in a lifetime and I will never have another time like this again. I want to savor every moment of it!

Time flies and I can't believe that I have already been here for almost two years. While I enjoy looking forward to what is to come (like the quote above says), I also miss what was. I really loved high school and miss many aspects about freshman year and living in the dorms. Basically to sum it all up, I can't wait for the future and I am so thankful for my past but really I am just happy where I am today! I will leave you with another Seuss quote and some more pictures.


"How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?"
