| Where is home? Is that the place where you are living, or as some say, "holding residence". Or is it, that place where you have family, friends, and (other) living? I find that when I refer to home, I have many. I have homes all around the world. Not like the rich with their summer houses in Hawaii and Christmas lodge in Breckenridge. It is a sense, a feeling, a knowledge that people out there make you feel at home. Make you feel and recognize that there is something about this person that makes me know that I am safe, taken care of, loved, encouraged, stretched, gifted, actually to sum it up...makes me feel like "me"or more importantly comfortable in my own skin. This blog is me processing, not for show or to transmit a serious thought, just me thinking. Just a month ago I came back from Spain. What an amazing thing!!! I am still in awe of what has happened over the past 4 months. My heart, UGHH!! How I have become. I feel like I can finally step out of the pull-ups and move on to big-girl underwear (hoping I will not have an accident). I know you know what I mean :) It has been a chance to see what I want and to hold on tight in order to let it go, to let God take hold... and me watch and pray at the new beginnings. Oh how my heart aches and yearns for the what if...the what if...I cant even describe "it". But it is there. It is something I feel inside, yet not just a feeling a knowing. The process has just begun and will continue...adulthood. But might I add ... being an adult...that does not mean being stiff in your ways and not living on the edge, being an adult means a new season to use the knowledge and past experiences to help aid for the future. It does not mean sit back and let all the young folks do it. IT MEANS GET UP and DO SOMETHING! Be proud of who you are and do what needs to get done, and what is on the heart of God. Well...so maybe I was wrong..I did have a message. A voice that I needed to hear and maybe you too. Homework calls and so does my bed. Goodnight, sleep tight!!

| Wow! This has been a long time. I am here in Spain typing this message and smiling from ear to ear. I am so happy to be here. It is a sweet and sour time. Sweet to be here, among the people, the culture, the growth, my friends, learning new things and getting to know myself. Sour, I have friends far away, family far away, one day I am going to have to leave here and leave the people behind, leave what I have to come to know as... love. How can you rip your heart out to satisfy another desire? Is it even possible to believe that your heart will be ok? Why can't I stay here and love what I have? Should I leave the states, leave the people and treasure only the past not looking and expecting the future. I have some mixed feelings right now. But I am so happy to be here in Spain. I went to Barcelona this weekend and had an amazing time. It is always so good to be around people that are not afraid of telling you like it is. I love the fact that there really are people in this world who are real, confident, and passionate about what they are doing. My heart is satisfied, yet I have a yearning for more of the unknown. | | |
| The oxymoron has become a reality. I have been running around CRAZY...trying to work...and get everything done. I only have a couple morel weeks until I go on the adventure of my life. I am so excited and completely terrified all at the same time. My heart is being torn in so many directions but I have decided to consider it an extension not a move. With my second family moving to Chicago far from me...I have come to the reality that it is not a move just an opportunity to extend the love. To allow God to use this move to create a stronger bond. Who says that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Well, I am hoping it is true. I am hoping that I transform quickly with this change. That is my life as of right now. PS: TRANSFORMERS was amazing.!! | | |
| Where do I go from here? I know that I am alive and breathing but where now. My brain hurts from thinking so much over the past couple of months. I do not think I have ever thought this hard before. Germany is next and then Spain that is all I know at this point in time. Where is everybody, where has all of ORU gone? I feel like I am playing the game where is waldo, or Carmen Sandiego, and I don't want to play anymore.

| This semester is finally over and I am at home with my puppy. I am so glad thta I can look back and see all the growth I experienced. I am still taking summer school but I will be able to enjoy the class. I am excited to see what is going to happen this summer. I will not be online as much because my computer is down. I hope each and everyone of you has a great summer. Enjoy the simple, unplanned, moments they make the best memories. | | |
