I haven't had any deep thoughts lately. I have kind of just been a blank slate...
Its weird when you think about it. I graduated from high school in 1999. It has been just over 6 years since I was there. Honestly, I don't miss many people. I don't have a desire to see many of the people I was friends with. Looking back, I know those 'friendships' were false. I tried to be the person they wanted me to be, but I really wasn't that person. It took me meeting Greg to see that I didn't need to put up a facade. They funny thing, to me, is that I have a desire to talk to the people that I never really did know in high school-and to those I got to know my senior year. I see a person that I barely knew, but I am so interested in finding out about them. Because I had my head stuck up my butt in high school, I am sure that I missed out on a lot of great friendships. I can't go back and change; however, I can change the way I act now. I try and think about how I treat people. I try to think about what I say and how it will be taken before I say it. Sometimes, the filter is broken, and I screw up. But I am trying. I really cherish the friendships I have now. I have never had girlfriends like I do now. I have never been 'friends' with a guy and not wanted something more. Maturity is golden. I don't mind aging. With age comes wisdom. I like to be wise.
About Me
- Jennifer D.
- Michigan, United States
- Life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes you don't know what is waiting for you around the corner, and other times you think you know. As I enter a new phase of my career, I am nervous yet excited to teach little ones. I am only a year away from my masters in administration, so that is exciting too. My son is quickly approaching the two year mark, which is insane. Even more hard to comprehend is the fact that I have been married six years and with my husband for nearly 11 years!! CRAZY! See, life is full of things you would never expect. God has all these plans for you that you would never see coming.

That is good to know :) I ran into Kelly (she married Jason but I am drawing a blank on last names right now) awhile ago in Walmart-she works in the pharmacy. I didn't talk to her too much in school, but a passerby would have thought we were great friends. I really did miss out on meeting great people...
i don't mind aging she says!
and maturity comes with getting older!! Jenni,
those are great things to begin to understand. yet not everyone who ages gets more mature. will we continue to learn about ourselves in view of Jesus and how to better love people around us? that, i think, becomes the crux of maturity.
yes i was on blog hold for a couple of days, now i am not so much....
