Oh Colorado...

Tuesday night my friends all came to Outback for a going away party for me. It was so nice being able to laugh with everyone. Afterward i went and hung out with Allysar and Leah until a crazy AM hour and had a blast. The wednesday i packed up, had coffee with Rach, went to the church and said my final goodbyes. I left Florida on Wednesday afternoon and after 8 states, and 36 hours of driving..i arrived in Colorado last night (Saturday evening). The trip here was interesting, and fun. I stopped in GA just for the night. Saw my brother and his girlfriend...then driving through arkansas at night it started snowing hardcore..apparently the next day there was like 14 inches or something..semi's literally kept running me off the road. It was scarey for my Florida girl self. I stayed 2 nights in Oklahoma with my wonderful friend Hayden. We went rock climbing, played raquet ball, played pool, went to the movies. It was fun..lots of laughter :) Then I drove all day yesterday and finally got here.

This has been one of the hardest things ever. immediately after leaving Florida i began crying...Thinking about all the things i was leaving, all the people i was leaving..to go to a place where i not much familiar with,and barely have any friends at all...but doing it in Faith knowing this IS where God wants me to be. I know i am supposed to be here. God has opened doors like crazy...from a place to live, to the money (and some) to get over here. I understand that God sometimes brings us to a place where we have to sacrifice things that we love for Him...to grow deeper, closer, and more intimately in love with Him. I'm excited about my life these next couple of years..right now it all hurts so bad...I often cry...but i KNOW He's got a life planned for me far beyond what i can imagine. I'm in love with Jesus...

I miss you Florida.
