FlashBack

Today my little (ok not so little) brother, graduated today. I went back to my high school and saw them walk across the football field, and see them all so excited. It just amazes me how much time has past since I was in their place. I can remember sitting in those chairs, listening to my class song being sung, listening to the speeches about what life held for us, and being so excited that I was finally leaving the life that I had lead.

This also led me to think about how much has changed since I gratuated two years ago. I have lived in a city by myself, I have made a completly new friend base, for goshs sake I lived in europe for five months. I have become so much more open minded, liberal, and so much more care free. Its just weird to see all the ways life can change so quickly.

This all makes me think back to high school, when things were simple, I had no worries and I just wanted to stay in my bubble forever, with my friends and my life.

I'm going to steal this from the graduation tonight becuase I like it so much.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,

Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,

You never need to carry more than you can hold,

And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,

I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,

Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,

All the ones who love you, in the place you left,

I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,

And you help somebody every chance you get,

Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,

And you always give more than you take.

To remembering where we came from and excited about where we are going.

Congratulations Class of 2007
