Guys, we did it.
The last four years have been filled with firsts, lasts, heartbreak, lost friendships, change, new friendship, confusion, prayer, disappointment, surprising successes, late-night cramming, mistakes, regrets, new chapters, self-discovery, debt, tears, an ENGAGEMENT AND MARRIAGE!!! triumph, ice, laughter, and learning. Now, just like that, it's over.
Just before we walked on the morning of graduation, the always-adorable and ever-talented brittany came to snap some photos for us:)
I'm so proud of this curly-haired, smarty-pants. He is DONE with his undergraduate degrees.
I still can't get him to express his excitement (I keep prompting him to shout, "Woo! We're done!" but he won't).
Most of all-- I'm grateful for this handsome guy who is still by my side.
I can't believe how far we've come, yet it's only the beginning.
I'm getting all teary as I type this because we are leaving Logan in only a matter of weeks. We signed an apartment lease and I start my new job at the end of summer. Greg is applying to Medical School and job searching. We are leaving Logan. I'm so proud to be an Aggie and I will never forget or take for granted the opportunities that came to be while I lived here in Logantown. We'll bring our kiddos back for Aggie Ice Cream and hound them with memories from our years as students. Ugh! Sentiment. Part of me wishes I hated Logan so that leaving would be easier.
I remember unpacking in my freshman dorm room thinking that I was so ready for what lie ahead. I remember thinking I had it all together and I knew who I was going to become. It's unfathomable how much I've changed. I cannot put into words how grateful I am for my Father's plan. It was those times when I relied on my own understanding that I was the most lost and confused. When I finally relied on the Lord, when I stopped trying to call all the shots, it was then that I felt the most peace.
It is now that I feel peace.
Beautiful! Thanks Steph!
