March Update

Hello!

     Now that it's April 2nd, I can post my March update. I would've posted it yesterday, but I always try to avoid posting/reading anything on April 1st because truth doesn't exist on that day. I've already announced this via Facebook, but for those of you who don't know...

I'm moving back to BG!

     After a lot of debating, deliberation, and ultimately, a big push from family and friends, I signed a lease for an apartment with my wonderful friend Tricia. I'll be moving back the second week of May. Along with moving, I'll also be taking summer classes. The first half of the summer I'll be taking one class and the second half of the summer I'll be taking two (provided none of them get cancelled due to low enrollment.) The goal is to get my feet wet and prepare myself to hopefully return in full come fall.

     Thank you all for your silent cheers. I'd like to cheer along, but my brain is still a battlefield. Don't get me wrong, part of me is excited. I mean decorating a new place and the idea of living around my friends again certainly makes me happy, but I'm honestly terrified. I can't help but imagine myself moving my things in and then becoming a blubbering mess of anxiety. I'm so afraid that I won't be able to do it and I'll end up dropping my classes, moving home, and failing again. I know I'm supposed to remain positive. I know that if I think negative things then negative things will happen. My brain just doesn't always do what I want it to. I've been praying every night that God will guide me through this major transition. I'm doing my best to fully trust Him and believe that He will make this happen, but it's a daily struggle to fight away the negative thoughts.

     I know this post is short, but besides what I've already written, not a lot has happened in the past month. For the next 45 days as I pick out pillows and plates, I'll be fighting to remain positive. I would love any prayers from you that I can get as I get ready to take this new journey and learn how to live away from home again. Thank you all for your continued love and support!

God Bless,
Kelly
