Warning, these are thoughts running around in my head, nothing deep, just thankful and looking back. You might want to skip this blog... but i am happy i hope you are too.

It's the little thing that matter, like Haley grabbing my leg and hugging me over and over again before she left the grown people's party. It's Dean touching my skin going i wish i had skin like yours. It laughing with Clif over silly stuff. It's playing mommy for a day and realizing that I like it.
Life is beautiful and full right now. Life is full in a good sort of way—filled with people and life and living—filled with laughter and tears and thinking. I don't know why I was so blessed to have the life I do. I just accept the blessing, say thank you God, and continue to enjoy it.
Finals start for us in a week and this evening we celebrated the engagement of Tara and Adam. I remember before they started dating she was so unsure if he thought of her as a dating prospect or what. I remember her saying "I've never dated anyone as perfect as him." Little did she know that Adam, military Adam cared about the little people...and oh when he got her a ring, he made sure it wasn't a blood diamond. :) So their engagement party was a celebration and just a time to talk and catch up with each other.
Today as I was driving around I remembered wondering who was going to be the person of peace in that particular group (polo group). I remember praying for them going, "God send someone into the polo group... God I know there is someone who can relate with them..." little did I know that maybe my calling was to be a person of peace with them. We are so different in some ways but alike in others. I have a lot to learn from the girls about having girl friends. They have an amazingly close knit group of women and they are just as happy going out as hanging with the girls playing trivial pursuit. I like them. I like them a lot and there are others I simply love. It's funny how God will change things around...
Courtenay today said a statement that seems to be an echo from Sunday evening. God has a plan that is not what you have planned. And it is true. DL said the same thing to me on Sunday. I try so hard to plan my future and place the people and things in my life the way I think they should be... and constantly God turns it around.
I would not change Macon for GA State for anything. I would not trade my experiences and adventures for anything. I was placed in an incredibly nuturing environment with people that love me and love me well. Mercer is my school filled with my people who have become my family.
Anyways i was being sentimental in my thinking... life is good.
