Thinking back...

Today was graduation. We actually had 4... one for kindergarten, one for sixth grade, one for ninth grade, and one for twelfth grade. I was fascinated by the fact that graduation here really isn't a very big deal, in fact, most of the parents didn't even come. Students and teachers spoke and every grade had a slide show and remembered the good times they had together. They even played the Vitamin C Graduation song :P And it just got me thinking back to my graduation 7 years ago, I can't believe it was that long ago!! It was so scary leaving the only school and the only people I'd ever known (even though most of them I didn't even know that well, I was pretty shy in high school!). Back then, I never would have guessed I would be where I am today. It's crazy how things work out and how much people change. It's been a little over 2 years since I've been out of college, and time has just flown by. The experiences that I've had and the things that I've gotten to do are just amazing, and I'm only 25! There's still so much more of that to come.
I am very thankful for where I am today and for the experiences that I've had that have taught me so much. I'm thankful for this year (but also soooo ready for it to be over, haha, I'm ready to go home for a bit), and I'm excited to see what's to come.
God has definitely brought me a long way, but there's still a long way to go.
Congratulations to everyone at home who will be graduating soon!
