28?!

Yesterday, April 12th - Easter Sunday - 2009, I turned 28. It's amazing the amount of change that has happened in my life this past year.

Relationships beginning, ending, reconnecting ...

Running 10 miles - twice ...

Work being good, then bad, then really bad, then back to really good...

Visiting Texas, Utah, Massachusetts, Hawaii ...

Surfing, learning guitar ...

Leading small group with Rachel ...

Going out on good dates, bad dates, and dates I didn't know were dates ...

Watching hours and hours of movies and the countless conversations about the rodentia of northern Virginia (most recently Sunday night) with the aggies ...

And of course Coach and that wonderful discount.

I've learned that a lot can happen in a year; but if you're going the right direction, things should only get better. God forbid we reach the pinnacle of our personal development at this age and have the downward spiral to look forward to the rest of our lives.

I never would have pictured being here geographically, emotionally, spiritually, or relationally but I'm so happy things have worked out the way they have. I am so blessed.

My friends invested in some light reading for me (all political science theory) - and a beret!
