21 months ago I met my best friend.
And 21 months from now I will most likely be seeing him again (depends on my mission).
look at us! we're just babies.
If there's one thing I've learned, it is that time flies by way too fast.
I mean really, have I been graduated for two years (in three weeks) already?
Was it really that long ago I met Alex at Seneca?
Did I really live in Blanding 9 months last year?
Is it really my birthday in less than a week?
How did my baby brothers get to be so big and weigh more than me?
Sometimes it seems that days go by so slowly and then you turn around and a month has gone by. Sometimes I wish I could have a pause button in this life.
Sometimes you don't want to ever let go of the memories.
Sometimes you want to be able to remember every detail about loved ones.
Because we obviously can't stop time, my biggest advice is to live in the moment.
Don't get so caught up in work/responsiblities/activities that you forget to take a breather.
Enjoy the fresh air, enjoy your kids, enjoy your family. Be there for them. Encourage them.
Play with them. Serve them unselfishly.
We can't get back lost time... And who wants to live a life of regrets, wondering what could have/ should have been?
Alex and I have made many memories these past 21 months, even though we have spent 12 of them apart. He's been there for me through everything and I don't know what shape I'd be in right now without him and his love, his example, and his encouragement. I miss him like crazy... There's a piece of me missing right now. But I'm so grateful for what he is doing right now, I know Texas needs him.
The last 21 months have flown by. What's 21 more? ;)
