a lot can happen in 5 years

on my drive back from hilton head island today visiting a good friend i was thinking about how time flies (at least in retrospect it does...not always each day, but you understand).... and i was also thinking about how much can change it such a little period of time.

high school (jr. year ish) till freshman year of college in JoCo = lots of big changes. (what the heck was i thinking is my response back to most of that nonsense)

2004-2008 = life in Manhattan. lots of great memories, tons of amazing friends (seriously best part of those 4 years) and a lot of life lessons learned, learned again, and now mastered :)

2008-now = moved to savannah....found a career/job i absolutely love.. i work with some of the most talented and loving and caring people i've ever met. i've found my "nitch" ... or at least part of it. i've made some good friends, learned some more about myself...and am now a grown up? really. yah, i think just about.

anyways -- a LOT has happened in my life in the last 5 years. some good, some bad...lived a lot, learned a lot, and now just flying through my mid-twenties.

i can honestly say that 5 years ago i would have NEVER imagined i'd be working in ministry, in savannah georgia -- graduated from bible college and away from all things familiar.

i'm still learning. but i think i've got a lot to teach too.

i'm staying put. (for the most part)

half full...half empty

I'd like to think that I typically look at the glass half-full .... hopefully I'm not fooling myself!

I'm leading a small group and we're going through a book by Andy Stanley called Take It To The Limits.... there's some good stuff in it. I guess we don't actually start till next week but since I'm "leading" I figured I should know that I was talking about. Here was a funny, or at least I thought it was funny, quote... "Today, there are three kinds of people: the have's, the have-nots, and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-haves." Haha....good one :)

I think 2009 has some potential.
-Holly is coming to visit in April for 5 days, WOOHOO!!!!
-October will be a fun month. Orlando with some of my bestest friends!

I saw Bride Wars last night. It was pretty hilarious! I love girls night with great food and movies.

Life in Savannah is slowly becoming home....I don't know how long it takes necessarily but it's crazy to think I've been here about 8 months already.

Ok--ta ta for now.
