As time progressed, this blogs inconsistency progressed right along with it. I am now sitting in the most baron dorm room I could imagine with the realization that at the time I am writing this blog tomorrow, I will be home for the summer. It all began with the move in that everyone looks forward to. I finally got to meet the roommate I had been speaking with all summer and begin the new chapter of my life. It turned out that it was going to be the best chapter that I can remember to this day. I met people that I never thought I would meet and built relationships that will last until I depart from this earth. It was the most emotional roller coaster that I have ever been on and I will cherish every rough and smooth spot that went along with it. I made a lot better grades up here in college than I did back in high school and I credit that to my peers who were constantly there for me every step of the way throughout this first year. I have made memories that will last a lifetime and I cannot wait to build onto those next year. There is one thing that I will hold onto for the rest of my life that I have taken from this year and it is not something I learned in class or from reading a textbook. This lesson comes straight from the book of life. Mary-Neil Jackson wrote me a card shortly after we began dating and the only thing it said on the front of it was that "Everything Happens For A Reason"! There was a note on the inside that put this into the greatest perspective I could have imagined. I will always remember that note and as I go through life I will always remember that no matter how terrible a situation may go or when it seems as though nothing is going my way, it is all happening for a reason. I cannot think her enough for opening my eyes and putting into action this simple little phrase that is uttered on such a consistent basis. I am now heading into summer break and looking forward to spending time with my friends that I have not seen since high school and getting my voice back on the radio. I cannot let Mr. Bobby Lineberger from church down as in his eyes I have become the "Voice of Mooresville." I do not see myself in that light, but I will accept his compliments and appreciate the fact he listens to the broadcast. Well this is the last time I will be blogging on campus for the year and I plan to continue this next year. Summer will be tough but if I can manage a little time I may throw a tid-bit in here or there. Thanks to all those who have been reading and look forward to hearing from me on a regular basis. It means more than you think that you guys all take the time to read about what I have going on. God Bless!!
