Wait What? I Have Friends? When Did This Happen??

Sometimes I just feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life, who love and support me in all that I do. Aside from my family, I have truly been blessed with a handful of tremendous people to help me down this sort of scary path called life. I often find myself wondering what I did to deserve such wonderful friends, and although we tease each other like there is no tomorrow, I know without a shadow of a doubt that there wont be a single situation where I wont be able to turn to any of them for help. They are all so different but so patient and kind and wonderful. Each one is teaching me something different and blessing my life in a different way and I absolutely love it. Talking with one dear friend tonight I made the comment that we were like one big happy family. I quickly said actually we're like one big dysfunctional family, which may sound like a negative thing but is actually something positive. Perfect is boring. Normal is boring. And we tease and joke because we care so much about each other. It is an amazing thing to find a group of people who can be an extension of your family. I absolutely love it. And although things in my life aren't perfect, I am going to bed tonight completely overwhelmed with gratitude for so many beautiful people.

I Sort Of Hate Making Decisions About Life.

Sometimes I have to make decisions about my life. And those decisions are hard and they scare me and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think I have an answer and then a few days later I am doubting and second guessing everything that I think I  have figured out. It's so not cool. And above all I can't handle that fact that I don't know what I am supposed to do! How do I figure this out? How do I know if I am making the right decision? How? How do I know what it is that I am supposed to do? My life is a tad jumbled and messy right now.

"You are SO lucky!"

The other day, when I got off of work, all I needed was some quality time with a dear friend of mine. I showed up to her house with a Diet Coke for her in hand and we spent the evening swapping stories--laughing, venting, and recounting the triumphs and woes of our lives--and it was beyond a blessing! Naturally though, as we chatted, the conversation took a turn towards dating. We both told stories of frustration and shook our heads at the people in our lives who seem to have it all figured out. Without thinking it through 100% I boldly stated that "I know more married people than I do people who are single," and while it definitely feels that way it certainly isn't true. But as a 23 year old member of the church, it can sometimes feel like I am the only one my age not in a relationship/married. We laughed at this idea that "we are so old" and that according to some people (and some of the culture that we live in) we are "doing it wrong" because we ar...
