Wigand 05

I can tell that I am at a point in my life where there are going to be some transitions. With transition comes questions, uncertainty and doubt. So today I looked down and I am wearing my Wigand t-shirt from 2005 (Wigand was my flag football team at my school). It made me think about what was going on 5 years ago. I was still in college, was still dreaming of someday doing something. I did not know a lot of things that would happen in those five years.

So then I thought back to a year ago. I was passing out hundreds of resumes, going to interviews and getting ready to graduate with my MBA. I was in a transition time a year ago, but could not see the great things that have come up. I also couldn't see the challenges that came up this year.

I wonder what life would be like if God showed us our lives a year at a time? Would I have wanted to know that my Dad was going to have a heart attack and nearly die? Would I have been ok going camping the weekend before that heart attack? Would I have been ok with him going to Alaska by himself... I don't think so.

So I am so grateful that God doesn't show us everything we need to know. I can enjoy the moments that I have and I know that he is taking care of me each step of the way.

What were you doing a year ago?
What did life look like for you?
What has changed you?

Land Locked...

Because I feel so very land locked and have been itching (yes itching) to get out there and see the sights... I have decided to post some pictures of some of my favorite places and trips that I have taken. Enjoy the trip through memory lane.

My cousin's wedding in Baltimore. I would travel any where with this group!



I Love the ocean. Nuff said.



This was the beach I was at in Thailand with Suzy!



Riding the Moto with Suzy will always be great memories!



Riding the night train!

Now for a quick look at College:


Such a great road trip to Cali!


The PRICE IS RIGHT!


Camping out at the beach!

Grand Canyon!



This was my trip that I took to Guatemala in Grad School... so much fun.



Saw this picture and had to add it because it just makes me smile! My adorable niece Bella

Now lets really go a WAYS back...

This is how I rode to kindergarten every morning in Indonesia... but this is also very typical transportation... This is my brother, me and my Mom... HA!



And I leave you with this... Me and my pet monkey in Indonesia...

Well. I was looking through pictures and could have put a lot more, but it just made me realize how lucky I am to have been to the places that I have been and should be content with where I am at. I think that helped... a little.

What were some of your favorite places?!

My Wish LIst

So, online shopping is typically my way of virtually spending money... You can create wish lists and pretend to be shopping without purchasing anything! It really does soothe my soul. Wanna see some things on my wish list...

{1} This I think is the best shade of blue and I love the little pockets and the length is great!

{2} First of all, not a fan of the heals... but love this dress!

{3} This little top just makes my heart smile... Imagine pairing it with a cute pencil skirt and boots...

But instead I will just sit here and dream...
