Newsflash
Um, so I kinda chopped all my hair off. Well, I didnt do it myself, but I asked someone to do it for me :)
It was a huge decision, actually. After the last time, I swore I would never do it again. And even when I told him what I wanted, it was not told to cut off that much, so Im not sure what happened there. I think its too short, but it is fun. I want the same style, just a few inches longer. So Ill grow it out a little bit.
I just kinda thought I needed a physical change to portray the change I am going through in life. Becoming the person I truly am...so a drastic physical change for a drastic interior change.
Im sure once I figure out how to style it, Ill be fine with it. Im not upset, but Im not estatic. I suppose, somewhere in between.
Oh, and I made that necklace at work. Because Im cool like that :)

Listen to a Graduate
Well, it was great to watch graduation today. One of my best ACU friends walked across that stage tonight. After graduation, we ended up driving around town and eventually sat in her car, as it was parked right next to mine...and we talked for an hour or so there. And I mean serious talk.
I got to let some things off of my chest without mentioning names or putting blame on anyone....that way there were no assumtions made about anyone, even myself.
Advice I got from lil Miss Anna...we seem to be going through the same things, and what she said made me think, but smile.
There is a thin line between true selfishness and giving everything to others. We need to learn to dance that line and enjoy the advantages of both sides.
We need to stop giving ourselves to others. Not like serving others, but living for others. We both know we came to ACU under the wrong impressions. We both came for the wrong reasons. Don't get me wrong, I now wouldnt trade it for anything in the world, but originally I didnt come here for me. And we too easily let others influence what we think, say, and do. We have madde a pact to live for life, live for God, live a life of our own. I can't wait :)
Maybe we are running away. Neither one of us wants to stay here when we graduate. Unfortunently for her, Anna will be here for at least another semester due to things that are out of her control. But, we want to run...far. To reinvent ourselves as the people we know we need to be. To run from the preconcieved notions that others seem to have gotten from us. I just know, no matter where I go, that I will have to know in my heart there is something there worth running to.
Good conversation, good celebration, good friend, and good love between friends.
6 days til Im home :)
Oh I saw Aimee Jo and Andrew tonight at graduation. Twas' cool :)

New Journey
"this journey will be painful. but we search for truth nonetheless, because we hope for something better." [chris seay]
Im embarking on a new journey. And prayers would be great.
Im embarking on my journey into becoming an adult. It is needed, wanted, and overdue.
After countless prayers by me and one of my closest friends, I believe God has nudged me into a new and probably most influential journeys of my life.
At the beginning of this journey, about a week ago, I was furious at God. I felt like I was by myself. No one was supporting what I wanted to do with my life, and it was a place a truly felt God was leading me. I now know that there are people that support my dreams for after graduation. And that is something I thank God for, bringing out those people so I know there are people behind me.
The hardest part of this journey is going to be stepping back from some of the people I love the most. I fought God long and hard on this. All semester, it has been on my heart to say something to a handful of people. I just needed time between me and God to find out what kind of adult I am going to be. I kept putting it off, but last week....it just blew up in my face. Not saying God put a huge fight in my life, but something significant had to happen in my heart, or I believe I would have never backed away. I know a few of you that I have made this decision about are reading this, know that I love you. I love what you were to me. I love what you probably will still be in my future, but I just need time.
In the past week, my friends have made comments about how much happier I seem. That I laugh more, I smile more, and it seems that I am less tied down.
It makes me happy that my friends are now seeing the real me. Maybe this is the beginning of who I will be as an adult. A happy, smiley, faithful woman.
I am really excited about this journey. Although it scares me, I know it is something that will mold me into the person I will be for the rest of my life.
I have been saying for years that I am ready to be an adult, but now....I really am. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!
