I was just talking to my dad, and I said, "Ya know, I keep thinking that things will eventually get easier and less dramatic as I get older, but then I do crazy things like move to Chicago, or decide to end a relationship after 8 months." It's so true.
You girls know life has been a goat show, which I guess I can only say, it's a good way to end my 25th year with a bang? It started with a quarter pounder and drinks on the patio of Little Savannah, which I don't think any of us liked them.
Life isn't getting any easier and I have yet to be able to navigate it gracefully. However, I will say that I think I've learned to roll with the punches, learn from my mistakes, and enjoy every day just a little more.
It's like a cold winter here has made me appreciate the warm sunshine of spring exponentially more. Tough times and rough weeks always make you appreciate the blessings you have in life.
I'm convinced that I'm blessed to have the best friends in the world...and a pretty stinkin' awesome family.
Update: I'll be doing a summer residency with a company called ReachMD that is based here in the Chicago area. I'm really looking forward to it. The project description looks like I will develop a lot of the skills I want to develop over the summer so I'm pumped.
I can't believe that May is already here and I'm almost 26. I'm OK with it. I'm not old.
You both should check out the Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons CD. really great. You should also look into the Away We Go soundtrack. I need new music suggestions, so send 'em on over.
Thanks for the package again. It has literally made my week. I loved the break up CD. Especially that this song made the cut.
I think the rest of May is going to be a whirlwind of school work and playing outside (if it'll ever get warm again).
Miss you guys! Make wise choices!
Ashley
