From the day that we are born we are taught to expect change, because it’s inevitable. We all go through the same cycle of life:
· We’re born
· We go to school
· We graduate school
· We go to college
· We graduate college
· We get a job
· We meet someone who changes our life
· We fall in love
· We get married
· Buy a house
· Get pregnant
· Have babies
· Grow old
· Watch our kids have graduate
· Watch them have kids…
Then we die and the cycle starts all over again(though it may not be in that order). And we know what to expect because no one gets out alive.
We’re taught from the beginning to expect and adapt to change because there is no way for your life to stay the same forever. I've been able to adapt very quickly to new surroundings and situations, which I attribute to how I was raised and the fact that moved a bit when I was a kid. It's hard to adapt when you're a child, but I managed because I had my family with me,a nd as I got older they began to mean more and more to me. They were my rocks. My home when I wasn't sure where I stood on my own. They helped through things that I didn't even know I needed help with. I love everyone so much..
Anywho, within the past year I’ve been through more than my share of change:
· I was in High School
· I graduated High School
· I realized that I’ve been in love with my best friend since the day that we met
· I got to be with the person I adore
· I had to watch him leave for 3 months
· I was so sick that the doctors didn’t know what was wrong with me
· I waited for 6 weeks to get a phone call that lasted 15 minutes
· I got to watch my best friend graduate the Army
· I packed up my life and moved cross country
· I got engaged
· I learned about Army life
· I spent time with my East Coast family (Including my amazing Sister Ashley)
· I got to see my Oregon family again
· I decided what I want to do with my life
So much has happened (and not all of it good!)and I learned that the best way to get through your life changing is just to go with it. Fighting change (or illness) isn't going to do anything and getting angry and frustrated isn't going to help.
After everything that this year has brought it’s crazy to think that something else is coming… But change is inevitable and of course life is going to keep trucking along.
Now to the point of this post: I've found out that my life is going to change drastically again and I really want to tell everyone. But I’m going to wait until I know all of the details before I tell anyone else.
So live in suspense blog readers. I’m leaving you with one huge cliff hanger…. And one clue: I’m not pregnant. Haha
Life is about to change in a big way,
-Kristen
