blah and yay!

conflicting feelings abound....
i'm feeling quite blah right now....however, i'm also feeling yay! because tomorrow i'm headed to athens for the rest of the week.
it's been a long time since i've been to athens. when i left (because i graudated), i wasn't sure when i'd ever be back, for a myriad of reasons, but that's another story for another time, perhaps. i went back for a football game once last fall and most of the time it felt really weird...this time, i'm actually looking forward to it. 1 bridal shower, 1 graduation, 1 graduation party, and a lot of spending time with friends.
of all the things that i miss about college/ that i would change about "real life" it would have to be my friends. i love the friends i have now, so please don't get me wrong. you're all precious and wonderful to me, and i feel blessed to have you in my life.
there's something comforting about friends who have known you for awhile. i miss them, and i miss having people within a 2 minute drive or walk all the time.

so, i guess this is a happy post. yay for friends, both new and old, and for time spent with them :)

confidence in uncertainty

don't we all wish we had that? when we have no idea what is coming or where God is leading or what we are supposed to do, wouldn't it be nice if we felt confidence and peace during the uncertain times in our lives? over the last couple of months, i've really been wrestling with some uncertainties. about everything. who i am. what i'm meant to do. where i'm supposed to be. who God is, and says He is. who God says i am. the path God says for me to follow. asking and struggling. wondering and fighting. crying and laughing. understanding and then being lost in confusion. experiencing peace and then being overwhelmed by worry. but finally, there is a bit of an end. because i've made a decision. one that my soul made a long time before my head, i believe. a decision to follow. to trust. to be uncertain. to leave baltimore . looking at it through my eyes, i can't say that it really makes sense. i have a family here. abounding opportunities t

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,
