You know the phrase about wearing different kinds of hats? Well, I wear different kinds of dresses. Literally.
Last Friday, I picked up my wedding dress, and just a few days ago, I picked up my cap and gown for graduation! Ahhhh.....life is so good right now.
ASIDE: Not to mention, I'll be getting a new Easter dress within the next few days. Actually, I can't decide whether to go with a dress or a nice blouse/sweater/pants combo. But I digress...
As I mentioned, life is good. I feel like these two "dresses"--being my wedding dress and my graduation gown--are symbolic for a very big transitional stage. I'll always be young at heart, but I feel as if I'm putting away my girlhood and finally growing into a woman. I'll no longer be a young, immature student, but a wife and college graduate. I'll be venturing out into the world to do whatever it is that God calls me to do.
This is going to be such a big change for me, and I'm a little anxious to see how the next few months are going to play out. In my mind, I'm ready. I'm more than ready to graduate and definitely looking forward to getting married. But I think that as time draws nearer for these big changes to occur, stress and anxiety will manage to weasel their way into my life. They always do. I just need to stay positive and thank God each and every day for getting me through this far and giving me great friends and family who have encouraged me every step of the way. It's going to be an exciting year, and I can't wait to wear all my different "dresses."
I can't wait for you to wear your different "dresses!"
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to keep the little stressful weasel away. I've been married for almost 7 years now, and every now and then I think to myself "it would be so much easier if.....( insert random scenerio here)." However, it isn't necessarily true. Your life is what you decide to make of it!
