My Life Since the Last Post

Wow, hey everybody, I am so so so terrible at keeping up to date on this blog.  It's been almost a year since I was here last.

I was looking back on the date, and I couldn't believe how much has changed in a little less than a year.  I will now indulge you and tell you how my life has changed in so many ways.

May, 2013

My parents decided it was time for them to move from our house of 13 years in California to a house in Oregon.  It was a big change for me and I'm still not used to it.  Hopefully they decide to move back in a few years, because I really miss my hometown, but at the same time the decision wasn't about me, it was about my parents and their happiness.

June-August, 2013

I was a camp counselor for the second year in a row at an all girls camp in Monterey.  It was a really fun summer, and it helped me keep my mind off of the move my parents were making back home.  Meanwhile, looming ahead I had the huge change of going off to college.  That was the next big change in my life.

August, 2013

 

 I made the huge move to go to my third year of college out of the house, and now, way far away from home.  I'm about a day and a half drive from my immediate family now, so I haven't seen them since they dropped me off.  It's a really big change, but I'm really enjoying my time here at school and loving the people I'm surrounding myself with.  I'm beyond excited because I get to see my family this weekend, so I've been looking forward to that all week!

Now.

I haven't seen my boyfriend of two and a half years for about two and a half months.  This is a big change for the both of us, but we are still together and happier than ever.  We love each other and cannot wait until we get to see each other in a few weeks.  We took this challenge and turned it into an opportunity to challenge and grow our relationship, and it's been a great success.

Those are the major things that have gone on in my life since my last post.  I wish I had remembered to post more often, but I think this post is a really great and important one.  It's kind of nice to reflect on the past year to see how much I've even grown.  One year does a lot to a person.
