Has it really been a year?!?

A year ago today I began one of the best adventures of my life so far.

My bags were packed, and I anxiously awaited...oh, about now so that I could head to the airport where I was meeting my best friend and her family. The time had come, Emily and I were heading out to see the world. We had left our jobs, moved back to Texas from Los Angeles, we had warm clothes, a Eurorail pass, plane tickets, and our passports. We were ready to take on the world.

A year ago today I left the United States for 2 months backpacking through Europe with my best friend. A year ago today...I found myself on a plane to London, England. A year ago today, I never would have imagined that my life would be like it is today...a year later. A year ago today I found a part of myself I never really knew was there.

I miss a year ago today.

I'm glad to be where I am now. There is nothing I would change. I love the people (friends and family) who surround me, I love what I am studying in school, I love the churches I am a part of, I love the God experiences that I had all over Europe. And while, I'm not 100% certain who it is that I am today...I like what I am learning about myself...

A year ago today...as much as I like where I am...I can't help but wish I was jetting off today to foreign lands...to find myself, and God around the world.
