3 years later!

Wow! I suppose I'm resurecting this thing from 6feet under. How interesting that I started this blog in May 2008 and I last posted in May 2009 (the month and year I graduated from college). Hear it is May 2012. I left college and dove straight into life, well actually I had a fabulous summer-possibly my last free summer for life, then it was time for the real world and by that I mean a full time job, cleaning, errands, cooking, etc,etc! Also interesting is that in one of my past posts I put that perhaps the third chapter in my life was just around the corner and that was June 3, 2008. In July I meet Brett, now my hubby! I spent the fall of 2008 in Savannah for a semester off from school, then returned to ACC in spring 2009 to finish.That awesome summer I mentioned above was spent with Brett more on this later I hope) and in October we got married! So yes chapter theee is in full swing as now I am a wife and mother of a handsome 4month old (to be continued)! And that is the best part of life after college. What got me back here though is that there is a sudden craze in my friends starting blogs that I remembered "Hey, I once had a blog! Wonder what happened to that thing." Browsing back on things you've written in the past is always fascinating. Some posts I can't even believe I wrote and its like I'm learning from myself only three years later. And other posts I wonder why I wrote, but thats not the case with most of them. My favorite are the silly ones about fun stuff like the crazy things kids say and do. Anywho, I also started reading a book our small group was going through, The Art of Breathing by Gina Roes (she is a counseler at the counesling center affiliated with our chruch, Savannah Christian). It's really good and more will come on that later as I digest it. But wouldn't you know that she would go and quote (in every chapter I've read so far) the guy (Dan Allender) who I also quoted for the title of this blog. Perhaps it is a good time to write again. I honestly don't understand blogwritting and things like facebook. I mean obvsiously social networking and just being able to keep up/in touch with friends and family is always great but sometimes I think we all secretly believe that if we write it down well actually it would be type it out then it means whatever we're doing/feeling becomes more real. Just a theory. I know there are also times when people can have advertisements on their blogs and gain money from the experience, but that just isn't me-to complicated. What I feel is that writng on this blog is like talking to a counselor, getting it all out, instead of pinning it all in-for free!(I know I shouldn't say that since I have a degree in counseling but oh well!)For this reason I havn't cared if anyone even reads what I write(although I woudn't mind it.Life has been crazy since leaving college so it might have done me some good to write through those times but I'll happily take it now. Sitting here with my leftover coffee and bisquit (yes, leftover-i have no shame). I am flooded with so many things I can write about I should probably do separte posts. P.S. I still havn't read the book by Dan Allender, whoops! Life...to be continued....
