2013 will be the year of major life changes for me. I am nervous, excited, scared, thankful, and overwhelmed by all that will take place. Below you will find my random and choppy thoughts for the night :)
- 4 yrs ago I started my job at Centennial Elementary School. I love that place and have had a wonderful time teaching there but my time there is coming to an end. I will miss everyone dearly. There are students and co-workers that have a special place in my heart. I will definitely have to come back and visit once I have gone.
- 1 yr ago I started dating the man of my dreams and in 6 months I get to marry him and start our life together. Starting our life together means that I have to get a new teaching job, sale/rent my house, move to another state, and make Oklahoma my traveling place. I can not be more excited to get married and start my life with Jeremy but I am alittle overwhelmed with all of the changes that have to take place in order for that to happen. As I am on the downhill slope toward our wedding day I am constantly reminded how much I need to cherish the time I have left with my family, friends, and co-workers.
- I have decided that the hardest thing may possibly be my family. I know that we do not get together every weekend but we get together often enough that once I am gone I will not be able to attend these dinners. I think I have been in denial about the fact that I am not going to be just a phone call away. It makes me realize how much I need to cherish the next 6 months with them instead of taking that time for granted.
- Every time I drop Jeremy off at the airport or I have to come home from visiting Atlanta I am an emotional wreck. It is extremely hard to be separated from him. Long distance relationships are not ideal. I am more than grateful for the time that we are able to spend together. Even though our relationship is long distance we get the privilege of seeing each other each month even if it is only for a few days. He is a very important part of my life and I am so excited for what our life will be like once we are married.
- I have a strong feeling that this emotion will not go away after our marriage but it will change from being emotional about leaving Jeremy to being emotional about leaving my family. I have known since I was a little girl that I wanted to live some place other than Oklahoma and I am extremely grateful that marrying Jeremy allows me to do so, I just never really took into consideration what that actually meant for me. I can't imagine what it is going to be like but I trust God to take care of the details.
- For the last week I have been contemplating what I want my words to be for 2013 and I just can't come up with three solid words. This week I am going to be working on that and praying about it. I know that one word will undoubtedly be change as for the other two they are still up for debate. I have decided that the third time is the charm though and that 2013 may be the year for me to begin weekly blogging. It is a lofty goal but I think it will help me sort through my thoughts as the journey of my life changes begin this year!
Here's to 2013.... May it be the best year yet!
