The Reason

I stopped posting because Paul broke up with me, and I had nothing positive to say. It would make me feel really relieved to tell everyone what he did to hurt me so badly, but I feel like that would be too vindictive and childish. Also, I want to move past it.

So, I'm posting. I've had some good stuff happen in my life, and I wanted to focus on that instead.

The photos I uploaded are from 2006 and 2009. My cousins, Katy and Becca, and I were in Dow Gardens, and we decided to hug this huge tree. My family was visiting in 2006 for Katy's graduation and in 2009 for Becca's graduation.

While in Michigan, I was able to meet Katy's fiance. He is wonderful, and I'm sure they'll be very happy. I also learned how to knit teddy bears for the Mother Bear Project, and I can't wait to get going on that.

Yesterday, I met a bunch of the students who will be in my nursing class this fall. I think we'll all get along well. Yay for comeraderie.

Tomorrow, I get to go back to my campus for Leadership Camp to be a counselor. We'll be working with junior high girls, which will be difficult for me, but worth it.

At the end of July, my best friend is getting married. To our best guy friend. Seriously, how often does that happen? Two of my best friends are getting married, and I get to be a part of it!

To my Christian readers, I would appreciate prayer. Although I am trying to focus on all the good things happening in my life and my friends' lives, I am still hurting. I am sure God had a good reason for taking Paul away from me, but that doesn't really make it hurt any less. I know I can't say that God was wrong, but I'm not seeing a whole lot of good yet. My friends have been a huge help, though. And for that, I can never express my gratitude.

Anyway, I need to go make lunch for my brother, as our parents are on a trip redoing their honeymoon.
