Change.

Inevitable, thrilling, okay let me be honest…it’s scary.

In one month and 5 days my family will change forever.

My life has been full of change. Three Elementary Schools, Two Middle Schools and Two High schools later I have made it to college. I plan on having ONE College. College is a four-year adventure, and I plan on spending this adventure in one place. My dad’s job growing up sent us all over the south and even up to Michigan.  I have a LOVE/ HATE relationship with moving.  It’s nice to have a chance to experience new things and meet new people; butttt leaving the people you love can be the hardest thing. (However, I do believe being left by a friend would probably be worse).

Back to the change that is one month and 5 days away. My sister is getting married! It will be one of the most exciting days for our family. I think her fiancé is great and I am grateful she found such a great guy. But I am selfish, and at times I feel as if nothing will be the same ever again. Taylor, my mom and I have a special relationship. When the 3 of us are together there is MAGIC. I am completely serious. We enter a room, and magic fills the air. We are the 3 Musketeers. 

Mischief. Typical. Sorry.

Jimmy's classic dance move.

Led by our fearless leader Jim “Jimmy” Payne.  He is the ringleader of all family dinners, that get out of hand and hilarious right away. The dry humor of my dad will be a quality I appreciate for years to come. He is also the reason why I am weirdly obsessed with the tv show Seinfeld. I have no idea where I would be without these 3 people in my life. I stress Jimmy out on a daily basis. He loves me anyways. He loves his 3 Musketeers with a patience I’ve never seen in another man.  Since I was a little girl I have prayed that Taylor and I would find someone like my dad, and someone who will make us as happy as my parents are today.  

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Change. It’s on its way in my family. All anxiety aside, I know this new chapter of life will be magical. And that is one thing about our family that will never change.
