Where did the time go? It's May 2012, I have graduated with a Master's degree and we are on the brink of moving to another state so I can pursue a PhD. It truly feels like just yesterday it was May 2010 and I was getting ready to leave Minnesota, the place of my birth and where I spent my whole life up to that point. The spring was filled with many tears and goodbyes, but also excitement for the road ahead. I can't believe that two years have almost passed and that this is over. Now it's time for me to say goodbye to Texas and hello to Florida. The last two years have been quite the journey. I have learned more than I thought was possible. I'm very glad that I took a chance and moved to Texas in the middle of the summer. To a place that is very different than where I am from, to a place where I knew very few people.
Now that is almost done, I can safely say that this was the right decision. I have been truly blessed by the whatever force(s) run the Universe. I was in the company of some of the brightest and most wonderful people that I have ever, and probably will ever, meet. I can't even begin to explain how lucky I am. I have been changed for the better because of them. There are too many to list by name and I don't want to forget anyone but I think (and hope) that these individuals know who they are. I have been given a myriad of wonderful opportunities in my lifetime and I am truly thankful. I should point out that there are absolutely people in MN without whom I wouldn't be where I am today. There are two people in particular that gave me more gifts than I deserved. Without them, I would definitely not be where I am now. I don't think you know just how much you gave me. I am forever grateful J and S.
I don't believe that anything is written in the stars, but I do believe that you make your own destiny. I'm so glad that my choices led me here. I took a crazy chance, but it turned out to be the right one.
I have been very lucky, indeed.
