So... I am feeling rather sentimental as of late.
Change. Change is good, right? I can't go into the specifics, please ask me if you have the time, however I feel compelled to break out into Amy Grant's
"Oh How the Years Go By"
And oh how the years go by
And oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by
There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
But we came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now were back on solid ground
We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of dangers
cause when your heart is strong
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers
And oh how the years go by
And oh how the love brings tears to my eyes
All through the changes the soul never dies
We fight, we laugh, we cry
As the years go by
There were times we stumbled
They thought they had us down
But we came around
How we rolled and rambled
We got lost and we got found
Now were back on solid ground
We took everything
All our times would bring
In this world of dangers
cause when your heart is strong
You know you're not alone
In this world of strangers
Now, these lyrics would seem to present themselves as poetry, however they can't be, because I am a self-professed poetry hater. So it would seem, that these lyrics are merely catchy phrases, with a bit of kick to them. They probably aren't good enough to be poetry anyways. Not that I would know, or that I am judging Amy Grant's lyrics...
Anyways, I am about to graduate... and it would seem that graduation has to bring 'change.' It's like the law of gravity. It has to happen. Maybe I should go to the moon. It doesn't happen there.
I am not bitter about change. Actually, I am slowly and inevitably mostly excited!
I am just realizing that when things do change, it's like there's no stopping it. Change happens in every single aspect of my life. It even manages to catapult into my family and friend's lives. Which in turn changes my life! I apologize for being so evasive about the specific events in my life that compel me to blog about change currently, however I will dedicate this blog to the top 10 changes in my life since starting University:
1. Moving away for school
2. Getting involved in IVCF
3. Living with girls. All 11 of them
4. a) Meeting my best friend
b) Living with my best friend
5. Studying Music. Gift divine.
6. Teaching!
7. a) Living in three places at once.
b) Teaching in two rural Albertan towns in the same year.
8. Getting Baptized
9. a) Meeting and getting to know some of the most amazing people in my life.
b) Seeing their lives change...
10. To be determined...
Mel out.

I never thought I would be reading poetry on your website considering past conversations and comments left on my blog. When you get back we will have to find time to work out with model Brady (aka Friday 23 @ 1:30pm if your back by then) or work out on our own then play some bball and then have a great and wonderful conversation about these vague changes you type of. While they seem vague in the blog I have a feeling I know what they are…regardless I would love to listen to your thoughts on change in some nook or other area (just not the silence of the lamb’s basement). I’m sure our conversation will be great as grapes as you are becoming really swell at not filling awkward silences. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Love ya like Spalding
Change. Hmmm...I think I am speechless.
Anyway, finding 'my Anne' has been the best part of my whole university experience. Could not have done it without you. And the privilege of living with you brings daily joys and much laughter...and oh so many towels :)

I couldn't help but contribute this little tidbit of wisdom. Enjoy.
