I have recently been informed to get my act together and put up a new post. I do have to say in retaliation, that one- I have kind of been busy moving country and all and two- I have a friend whose last post was in March... So John- Shush!
Leaving Scotland was probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. I can't believe it's over already. It was the best experience of my life. I got a great education, had an amazing job, had a successful volleyball career, and met the coolest people! But with all that said... none of those great things can take the place of family and that is why I am going to be calling middle of nowhere West Virginia home for now. It's funny how the important things become apparent to you as you grow.
Even though I have a job in Beckley, I don't know if Beckley is a place I will call home for good. I did just get back from Colorado and I loved it there. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. I was out there to officiate a wedding. It was my 1st and it actually went very well. Jes and Ryan are truly what God intended two married people to be. I felt confident in them as a couple, which is hard to say now-a-days. I enjoyed spending time with their families and friends. They have some of the most awesome people in their lives. I will be adding their family and friends on Facebook ASAP ;).
Tomorrow I go to Mountain State University to meet the head volleyball coach. I am a bit nervous, but I am so glad that I am able to coach and be near my family, so it makes it worth it. I am still struggling to get appropriate compensation for the work asked of me, but it will come in time. After all, I do still have a dissertation to finish and I need to be around for my grandpa.
God has many plans I'll never understand. At this point I'm just going with the flow. Besides... MAKING PLANS IS WAY OVERRATED DUDE.
