I'm Ready

"Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become." -- Mirela


Tomorrow is my last day living in Kalamazoo, and I'm excited to start something new. I've got a ton of crap to finish before I go, but the night will conclude with an awesome dinner with friends and one final evening in my apartment with Mike. I'm no longer afraid to go--I know it will be fine. But as I sit here in the final hours and think about how my life will be so different in only a few days... I read this quote and cling to it with hope. Maybe something tremendously rewarding will come from this. Maybe this one thing is worth waiting for, and someday I'll look back and be hopelessly grateful that I was brave enough to go through with it. I do it for me, for you, for the children I have yet to have, and for the life I long to live. So here I go--it's finally time to chase that dream.

I'll see you in Big Rapids. :)
