...and life continues!

So I just had an amazing weekend with Candace Crew. School from Thursday-Friday and then our real fun began. We went every morning for our routine 7:30 a.m. workout up lovely Mt. Tabor , and then started our days. Thursday and Friday were full of school but it showed Candy the Warner feel of campus and let her experience my friends/life here. The weekend was full of volleyball and soccer games, Voodoo Doughnuts (because it's not a true visit to where I am if Voodoo isn't included!), Saturday market, seeing a naked lady downtown, amazing shopping at the Woodburn Outlets, and a great conclusion of Seaside to see the ocean. Candace Crew, thank you so much for coming. I love you and I miss you already! :)

So now that Candace is back home, I am finally getting to update you on life! :) It's my usual time to come into the library, set up my Pandora with the Script radio, wait for my loving Alija, and relax (it helps to not wake up Rachel too!) Life is going by as it usually does. I am learning as I grow up that when I was younger I was a pretty smart cookie. I had things figured out. Now that I am growing up I can't lose touch of that young girl. She had it going for her, she still does. She saw things in plain sight and didn't let it go. She did not let something get in the way of her successful life; what she envisioned for herself. It's time to be the big girl version of myself. That sounds kind of funny, but it is so true. I can't lose site of my values, morals, careers, responsibilities, goals, EVERYTHING! Right now is the most important time in my life to find my direction. Lately I haven't felt that direction but I think that is God saying "Hi. Seek me!! I can help!" That's exactly what I'm going to do. Pray for even more guidance (I seem to pray for that all the time), but as Conrad Hall said "there is a kind of beauty in imperfection." I have come to the conclusion of my thoughts; now that I am succeeding in something that was once my goal (college) it is now time to set new ones. I will start with the small goals and grow to the large just like I did as a girl. Keep my optimistic self and keep pushing forward. Compliment my life, not conflict it (Thank you Grama' Sharon!) and let God do what he will do.

...so my life continues and I will be ready for my beautiful imperfections appear as the days move on. I will not only embrace what comes before me, but I will love it. I will love it because everything that happens in my life is not only happening for a reason, but it is making me a better person for who I need to be for my future.

So my life continues... :)

Barnabas

To my inspiration, to my Barnabas, to one of my amazing best friends who always knows what to say, has inspired this blog. I hope to touch the ones I love, express feelings that I hope to be seen, and maybe inspire someone else to do as I am. One, I want family and friends to be caught up on my crazy life, and two, I would love for something else other than facebook to occupy my time while I am working on homework..sorry Mama. Just saying :)

So here I go. Thank you Susanna Fleming for all of your heartening conversations, loving comments, fun times in life, and just always being the one to say the things that need to be said. Thank you for being one of my best friends. Thank you for your inspiration. I hope to enlighten you with my life, like you have enlightened mine :)

As Sus would say, "take this beautiful imperfect moment and embrace it." Let's see where this crazy life is taking me, and where God would like me to end up. 3..2..1---> So here we go. Lets run with it :)
