Just in Time…….Made it to Chicago safe and sound

Well, I’m glad Dad and I made it to Wolf Point and he made it back. This morning the roads leaving town were closed and blockaded due to the wind and snow. Good ole eastern Montana; always good for a winter challenge :) Funny how it would be this weekend. On the train, I thankfully had a sleeper so was able to lie flat and get some rest last night. After studying a bit and watching a movie, I laid my head on the pillow and was surprisingly able to shut my mind off for a little bit. Today it was more interview prep and a little reading. Also decided to skim through pictures and small video clips of my experiences over the last year. I smiled, I laughed, I lost my breath and fought back a few little tears but was so glad I had so much evidence. So many new experiences, so many different places explored, meeting new incredibly amazing friends, and realizing how much of have changed. I wouldn’t trade this last year for anything. It has all lead me to where I am today and who knows what the future holds. But as I look back on these memories, I realize how much I truly am thankful for and I need to remind myself about when I feel down, or lost, or confused. I really have had some amazing life experiences and am looking forward to many more, wherever they may be :) I know people say that can’t keep track of me but neither can I. Taking it one day at a time :) I made it to Chicago a half hour early and took another train out to my cousin Tim’s house. I met his family and we had a great dinner and visited into the evening hours. Big day tomorrow; In the couple days some big decisions are going to be made for my future whether I get the job or not. Lots of nerves but know that God will place me where ever I need to be.
