Time

Time can be a funny thing.  Sometimes it goes by so quickly and other times it just seems to drag on.  I remember when I was in elementary school the weekends seemed so long.  Then as I got into highschool they went much too fast.  The school year used to take forever to finally end and summer left too soon.  I remember always wanting to be older than I was and it seemed like ages before I finally turned 16, the year I coveted because I could start dating and get my driver's license.  I thought it doesn't get much better than this right?  Then I...

      • got a job
        • graduated highschool
      • moved to Utah
    • met Jared
      • married Jared...
and I can't help but keep wondering what has happened to the last 3.5 years of my life. I know I've had fun. I know I've accomplished a lot of things. But in comparison to the rest of my life, time has turned into this lightening round that I feel like I can barely keep up with. Before I know it it's the beginning of a new year again, it's already my birthday again, and I feel like 'didn't we just have Christmas?' by the time it's Christmastime again. I want to unwrap the mystery of time so that I can figure out how to slow it down a little bit. I want to feel like I can relish each moment before I move on to another. I want to feel like my evenings are long and relaxing, not short and hectic. I want to have time to do anything and everything I want... maybe I just need to quit my job, haha.

    I know exactly how you feel :) It feels like just last year I was a freshman starting highschool and getting ready for all that and now I'm almost done with my junior year, I turn eighteen this year, and I'm going for a college visit/visiting Kristin on the last day of school! So much has gone by so fast! I'm not sure if I can keep up with it all!

    agreed. life has gotten hectic and fast! i go crazy if i miss school, and the 5 hrs of hmwk every night steal my entire night away. for once i want a break. i am almost 21, i am a year away from graduating from college, i am most likely moving to las vegas soon, i might go on a mission, i have a boyfriend i am crazy about but yet, i have to choose between these. i cant have them all.
    where did the easy decisions all go?? like deciding between a pink or orange popsicle or whether you should wear your dalmatian dress or your flower jumper?
    i hear ya sister. time does need to slow down.
