My plan is to experience.

I made it to Dallas!! After a long weekend of packing, graduating, and driving I am here safe and sound and really loving it. I have to tell you it really has not sunk in that I won't be going back to school, or that I really live here. I still feel like I am on vacation.
So, graduating was incredible and I feel very accomplished. I still feel like a thirteen year old girl with my whole life ahead of me, which is comforting and a little naive all in one. My parents moved me to Dallas on Sunday and we had a sweaty, frustrating, funny, tiring day. I think they would agree on all of those adjectives. :) I started working at Starbucks on Monday and I absolutely love it!!!! I really do, I love the atmosphere, I love having to wear my hair in a pony tail everyday, and I love serving coffee to people and telling them to have a great day. Oh, and I love getting free coffee, pastries, and insurance. :)

This is a whole new chapter in my life and it is so exciting. I feel like a woman. I was talking with one of my best friends Sarah today and she told me that her goal in her life right now is to experience. Not to experience anything in particular, because neither of us really know what we want to experience at this point in our lives, but just to experience. I want to experience the everyday, and not let a day pass me by that I am not thankful or really living in the moment. I am young with an open heart for God to work and change me for the better everyday. He is control and I know that He has great plans for me in His time.
But in the meantime, my plan is to experience.
