Surgery

My mom had surgery the other day to remove her tumor. It was actually one of her eggs that started to form a fetus by itself. She got through it fine but next week we find out if it's benign or malignant. I"m a little nervous but I know that everything will turn out fine either way. I hate that she planned it while I'm away but I'll be home soon. This made me realize that I don't want to waste my time anymore. I don't want to hold grudges, I don't want to be mad, and I don't want to put things off for the future. Life's too short to waste it being mad over petty things.
Life seems to be changing rapidly. Once I got out of high school I realized I wasn't the same person as when I started and now half way through college I realized I've changed from when I began almost two years ago. I've become a little more of a girl and I've learned to pick my battles and not be such a push over. This summer will mark a lot more changes. Possibly more significant ones. I'll be helping Jon move down to Georgia which is amazing. I absolutely love it down there. He's never had to move before so he has a lot to learn from the master of moving around the world :).
I've started writing stories and keeping a journal just have something to do. I enjoy it a lot more than I thought I would. I've only completed two short stories but I think they're good. I was even compared to my cousin's writing by a guy who didn't even know that Joyce is my cousin (after I told him he looked at me like I just told him I could fly).
Summer has begun and with summer comes warm naps in the yard with a glass of lemonade and gentle nights by a fire in the yard. I feel some good times coming on.
