The best part of keeping a journal is being able to travel down memory lane. While at home for spring break I collected my old journals for the sole reason of retracing my steps. Lately I've been feeling reflective; check out excerpts from my entries over the past five years.

On Friday I went up to Arrowhead for the last confirmation retreat with my group...Before bed [the entire youth ministry participated in] adoration, where tear fest 2004 began. So many things came into my head while I prayed, mainly I felt like my life was about to change (with college and all)...I'm writing this right now while sitting on Southwest flight 1320. I'm on my way to Berkeley. My latest trouble has been deciding whether to go to UCSD or Berkeley...

I am going to miss my roommates like CRAZY!...Lately I've been staying up and avoiding work for the sake of spending precious time with my friends...Life is moving quickly...I'll be graduating in a month.

Once again I find myself on a plane. Ever since I left for Berkeley I've hopped on a plane to see my family (save the few times I drove from So Cal to Nor Cal). I've gotten used to saying my goodbyes at the airport...It's always hard to leave home...I have such amazing parents. They are fully supportive of my decisions and I am thankful for their faith in me...I found my old journals!
My what a difference five years makes.
