You Belong To Me
Surprise! Believe me, no one was more surprised than me when the song I had been singing along to happened to be a Taylor Swift song. But then again, life is kind of surprising. I am surprised I actually rooted for USC tonight. I am surprised that I love where I live so much. I am surprised that the thought of moving anywhere doesn’t scare me so much anymore. I am surprised I survived without living so close to family last year. I am surprised I enjoyed my collections management internship this summer. I am surprised that I am actually very scared to turn 31 next month and leave single ward status forever. I am surprised that I am still emotional eight years after September 11, 2001. Life is surprising. Whether it is categorized as a “good” or “bad” surprise, life catches me off guard all of the time. The trick is finding some contentment that in all types of surprises, I can rest assured I can never guess what will come next. I am also surprised I am done with my Monday assignments and it isn’t even Sunday night (or Monday afternoon!).

Life does throw us lots of surprises doesn't it? I'm glad to hear you are enjoying DC so much. And really just because you are turning 31 doesn't mean you have to leave a singles ward does it?
Turning 31 is much different here in DC than in Utah, no hanging around forever like some do (maybe that was just the 11th ward!). Yep...I'm going to a regular ward. Which, is actually going to be good. I officially can be done with singles wards! Yahooo (in a way)!
It's the best when we surprise ourselves, and we usually do, if we stretch a little. Happy surprises to you...
