Time. I feel like the more you try to hold onto it, the quicker it runs away from you! Lately I have been trying to squeeze out every last memory from this year, but it always leaves me wishing there was time for more. Many of the things that I have taken for granted for so long are all coming to an end, and it is making me realize just how precious our time is. I would give anything for one last chapter meeting, another college spring break, one more Tuesday night with WEGP, and another year to live with the greatest roommates ever. It is teaching me that no matter how much I might want to wish for the future and think "I can't wait until this, that, and the other thing...", I need to seek to be content with each moment the Lord decides to put me in. Cause hindsight truly is 20-20, and you never know how much you will wish you could go back and love everything all over again!
I had a wonderful weekend with some of my best girlfriends, celebrating the engagement and upcoming wedding of our sweet friend, Mandy Jones. After spending a fun night in Montgomery with Mom at Nana and Joppy's, I met up with them and drove down to her hometown of Troy. We spent some time catching up and getting ready, then threw on our boots and headed up to the football suite at the stadium for a night of good food and country music! We had a great time and I even got the special treat of running into my brother, who had come as the date of one of Mandy's family friends!
I received some INCREDIBLY exciting news on Thursday. After interviewing, I have been given the opportunity to intern with HFP Capital this summer in New York City. I cannot wait to work really hard and learn lots and lots about the practical applications of everything have been studying in college! I know it will be very challenging at times, but I am so very very excited to see where the Lord leads me in this process. I will be moving up to the city on June 5th and returning back to the South on August 6th. Ahhh...NewYork NewYork here I come!!
Tonight I am working on some final projects for my classes and I will probably go for a run to give me some time to think about everything I need to do in the upcoming week. Before gas prices shot up and the economy went bad, I used to love jumping in my car and driving down Wire Road with the windows down when I needed some good alone time to think and decompress. Currently, running has replaced this, and become my new, less expensive "me-time." I have found it to be much easier on my bank account, yet horrible for my ankles!
