The weekend after we found out we were not able to go to Ghana we went to my good friend Cortney (and Jason)'s wedding. It was a total blast and really helped us to put things into perspective. Even though the plans we had laid out were not going to work out - this year has been wonderful, filled with new-good friends and lots of fun adventures in a great city.
The wedding was beautiful and the band was amazing. They had the house band from B.B. Kings!
This past Saturday marked the day Derek and I were suppose to leave for Ghana. It was a sad weekend, but we survived and are looking forward that adventures that lay ahead. We are scheduled to take the GRE next Wednesday on the 26th and will be leaving for Denver on October 21st.
Last night while running with my friend Shannon we were talking about Derek and my up coming plans. She asked me what I had learned from the disappointment.
My answer, what did I learn?
What I AM learning is to live more in the moment - I have realized I place too much of my self-worth in what my plans are. My new plan: to just be happy where I am at. It has become painfully clear to me that no matter how well I plan nothing is set in stone.
