Well, this post is a little bit different than the rest. Hopefully I can use this for not just for whats going on in BVS but whats on my mind as well. I mentioned this before, but I don't think I did a very good job at that. It is highly unlikely of me to write two posts so close together, but I just wanted to get some things off my mind....Hopefully I am aloud to, LOL.
Still been thinking about home a lot, mostly coming home to visit over the summer. I here of so much change over there its crazy. I am not sure if I can keep up with it. Its almost like it seems better for me to stay put over here, but I know that is not going to be the case. My brother Josh and his girlfriend Courtney are about to have a baby. My brother Todd and his girfriend Katy just had their second child. My dad has changed the house so much that when I come back, it will seem like a new place (well, new to me anyway). I have a new pastor at the church, whom I haven't met face to face yet. Glenn is officially retired again, and getting a little bit older than when I left. My mom is working a completely different shift at work then when I left. There are a few changes in Waterford, and some more major changes in Modesto. There are some friends of mind who I haven't heard from since I left. This is what I get to come home to. Even when I come home, I have no crib or no ride, which will make it hard to do anything. But home is home anyway.
I am thankful to BVS because BVS gave me an identity that I didn't seem to have before. Everyone in my life seems to be on track about how they are living their lives. They know who they are and where they are going or what they are doing. Before BVS, the only thing I knew was I liked being in the IT field. I liked working with computers. Now that I am in BVS, even though that is what I am doing right now, I think BVS has given me some what of an identity that I don't think anyone back home, except maybe Glenn and Donna (who were former BVSer's) would know what I am talking about. I don't even think the people in my church would know what I am talking about. I just hope I can do another year or two in BVS before I have to go back to the real world and look for a paying job.
My time here in New Windsor is getting shorter and shorter. I am going miss everyone around here when I leave. There were some wonderful people who I met along the way and I very happy to have met each and everyone of them. In my next newsletter I will talk about lot of those folks. But as much as I like New Windsor, I am looking forward to starting my next project wherever it may be. Doing something new sound great to me right about now. Right now I feel like New Windsor was the place for me to do what God has given me the talent to do, which is work on computers. My next project, I will go to a place where I can have somewhat of an adventure. I can't seem to call New Windsor an adventure because of what the everyday life here is, but I did get a chance to do a few things over the past two years which I am greatful to God for.
