The present.

(The picture is from Ashton's Baby Shower)
At this present time, so much is happening. I find it hard to wrap my mind around it, because I am often consumed with the dreams and hopes I have for the future.
I am beyond excited about my summer plans; I am an intern for Community Outreach Agency in Jacksonville, run by the FL Methodist Conference. I will be spending my summer hanging out with youth groups, planning and organizing church events, serving at homeless shelters, and taking part in planning a camp for inner-city kids that will happen at the end of the summer.
I think one of the best parts is that I won't be sitting in an office doing monotonous filing or typing everyday; I get to do mission work along side youth and other people from the community.
Before that all begins, I will be doing the first summer session, taking two classes and subleasing Beth's apartment. Which by the way- will be my first time every living in an apartment! Kind of exciting!
Beyond the fact that this will all be very exciting in the months to come- I have so many great things happening now! School is great, dance is great, and overall I am learning so much about myself and loving where I am.
I can only imagine what it will be like 1o years from now when I am graduated and working.. maybe married, looking back on what I've been through and what I've experienced. I want to remember loving and living EACH and every moment. Life is too short not to, and we aren't even promised tomorrow, anyway.
