Times, they are a changin'.

Tygre moved out yesterday. I was so sad that I cried. I moved some stuff into her echoing room to make it look less abandoned.

I am so thrilled that she is getting married. Dan and I are headed to Corpus this weekend to be in the wedding. I just have one work day to go and then we can party!

I have started hearing the end of school countdown from the students. Summer is just around the corner. The seniors are getting anxious and everyone has Spring fever. It is really funny. I remember how hard it was to concentrate as a Senior at Carroll. We had a neat design to our school that had breezeways between narrow building with grass and trees. Whatever window you looked out of had something to distract you from class.

High school was a lot of fun. I had no idea at the time what was coming. I was ignorant of the journey God was about to take me on. He changed the plans I had made for myself and sent me back to Oklahoma. (That is an awesome story for another time...the moral is that I knew exactly where God wanted me and it would have been disobedience to go elsewhere.)

I joined up with the Baptist Student Union where I was active for 8 years as a student and staff member. God shook up every area of my life and I learned so much at OU. What an exciting experience.

A few of my seniors from A&P are going to OU next year. I am so jealous that they are just starting out on that awesome journey but I don't know that I would do it again. Don't we always say that?

My challenge to those of you who made it to the end of this post: Thinking back to your Senior year of high school, what did you think you would become? (Major, Career, marriage, etc) Then tell me what actually happened!

I thought I would be a medical missionary using all of my fabulous nursing skills. I also thought I would be a graduate of Texas A&M University and married to ...

Okay, What is yours!?
