Welcome!

I have never been much of a writer, but I have always wanted to be good at writing. I want to try this blog thing to see if it works out.

Huge changes have been occuring in my life the past couple months, and things are going to continue to change. The house that I have called home for ten years will no longer be ours. My mom is packing up shop and going on a journey. For the first time in 3 years I will not be returning to OSU, due to student teaching in Oklahoma City. My very best friend in the whole wide world got married and is moving Kentucky. It is difficult to not get stuck on these things and dwell, but instead I want to look at them in a positive light. I pray that mom receives peace of mind and maybe a sense of wholeness during her travels and journey. I pray that I don't go crazy living at home while all my friends are in Stillwater. I pray that Avery develops a sturdy base in Kentucky and is able to surround herself with encouraging people.

All of these things are scary, but can also been seen as exciting opportunities. I want this blog to be an outlet for all the things that I hope and feel and pray for my life and the lives of the ones that I love.

I recently stumbled upon a friend's blog and she is doing a 30 day letter challenge. I instantly knew that I wanted to do the same thing. I told Avery about it and we started creating our blogs instantly. So, with my best friend on board, I am going to be writing a lot of letters. We will write to old loves, current loves, family, lost friends, and even strangers among many others. It will be exciting, difficult, emotional, and silly. I hope to maybe find some things out about myself along the way. I am excited to begin this new journey and I am glad that you are along for the ride. We begin our letters tomorrow...
