A Year Ago Today (give or take)

Today is the first day of school for my alma matter. Roughly a year ago, on August 20th, I was preparing to head back to school myself. I was also newly married and worried about the possibility of being pregnant. I was feeling ill and irritable and anxious about the semester that lay ahead, my final semester of college. Look how far we've come in a year!

My baby boy is approaching his 6 month birthday. Holy moley. And my friends Mike and Kori are now married and living in a house that they bought in Huber Heights. And my friend Mallory's mother had her leg amputated but is still going strong. And Mallory graduated from college herself after going back for the second semester. And she lived in community and learned so much. And I started teaching piano, and doing more music subbing at church. I also got involved with a young mother's group called Moms and Tots at my church. And my husband and I have been through financial struggles but now he has a job that he loves and that pays well and we couldn't be happier.

It's interesting to look back and see how things can change in a year. It really is a beautiful life. :-)
