Today I am thankful for change. Without change, I get bored and too comfortable. I am someone who needs challenges and adventures.
I am thankful that God knew this about me and gave me a husband like Jake, who also does well with change, and has a career that allows us to move and travel and change. Being an AF spouse, I always know that there is a drastic change for me around the corner. Example: We've only been in Mississippi less than a year but I know that at this time next year we will be living somewhere new, somewhere different, somewhere completely unknown to me until July 30th, 2010 (Jake's assignment night).
I really do love change. I love constantly re-evaluating who I am and who I want to be. I am thankful for change in my marriage. It keeps things exciting and new. It makes me look forward to the future; to know that in 10, 20, 50 years Jake and I will be very different, changed, people from who we are today, but we will have gotten there together. Yes, some change is bad and most change is hard, but that is when you face reality and grow as a person and as a family.
Blog Timeline
Here's a little guide to how my life has evolved since this blog first started back in 2008. Looking back now, I've gone through some very distinct and significant chapters. The archives at the bottom follow along accordingly :)
December 2008-July 2010:
Graduating from college, experiencing life as newlyweds, moving to the far-away land of Mississippi, enduring the hectic lifestyle of Air Force pilot training, discovering my passion for web design, and transitioning into life as a real "grown-up".
August 2010- December 2010:
Moving back in with my parents in California while Jake was away at training in Oklahoma, living in a complete state of "limbo", growing my newly launched web design business, and loving life back on the best coast - oops! - I mean west coast ;)
January 2011- March 2012:
Discovering what it's like to have life-altering medical issues, struggling through tragic loss, physical pain, emotional pain, never-ending doctor's appointments and medical tests, all while trying to start our new life at Travis AFB... Learning to trust God even in the darkest times and constantly praying for healing.
April 2012- Present Day:
Experiencing healing from my physical pain, enjoying a career that I absolutely love, making the most wonderful friends here at Travis, and striving to live every single day to the FULLEST. God is so good! John 10:10 - Read it :)
