It is only when we get real with ourselves that we can help each other. <br /><br />You are amazing, you are doing exactly what God intended for you to do and the world is a better place because you had the courage to follow your dreams. God is answering all your prayers and is giving you precisely what you need when you need it the most, not when you want it. There is a difference.<br /><br />God Bless you dear Tate and thanks for sharing what was in your heart!<br /><br />Love,<br />JDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13341406277276988963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604074249203503013.post-81448824307884626932013-07-28T01:49:36.346-07:002013-07-28T01:49:36.346-07:00and I just love you! :o) can't wait to see you...and I just love you! :o) can't wait to see you!

I too make these comparisons which is why the only thing I do on facebook these days is like things and make sure I say "hi" to the people I love, like you, but may never see for a very long time. I am in a similar boat - need to apply to grad school soon, and just thinking about it is scccaaarrry. On another note :) I have seen your brain hard at work... late night study sessions in your very first dorm room with your very first roomate and I know you can do whatever you set your mind to. Thanks for bringing these thoughts to light, you are so wise :)<br /><br />xo DeirdreAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13276669070571232453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604074249203503013.post-58311050872950265002013-07-26T20:13:40.563-07:002013-07-26T20:13:40.563-07:00I love this post Tate!

I have a wonderful feeling about you and I agree with what you wrote, you'll get into the right school for you at the right time for you.

Your progression in the peace corp programs is very inspiring in terms of remaining vigilant in our life choices. You seem excited to get to Kang, but they should be getting excited to see you! I miss you lots friend! <br /><br />p.s. What could be better than your mom's goats I saw last summer? ummm...BABY GOATS?! If you ever need a goat sitter, or a cat sitter - you know where to find one. I'm sure my little Winston will get along with them!<br /><br />Have a wonderful next couple of weeks!<br />-JRLJasodactyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715938151929547275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604074249203503013.post-11317874976182214932012-06-11T14:06:04.869-07:002012-06-11T14:06:04.869-07:00Hopefully we are going to get to go see the goat t...Hopefully we are going to get to go see the goat this week, I am going to call your Mama.

But in attempt to see the good in it, she was probably in one of the best places to get the news - everyone there seems really loving and caring.<br /><br />I've decided that your school needs to come teach my school how it is done. My school = 1 dimensional, straight forward, my way or the highway status. I'd be okay with switching - I'm still that type A science student - they encourage that here lol. <br /><br />I'm so glad you are enjoying it so much! I can't wait to get all the juicy details from you. Things may not always work out how you want them to, but it is funny how true the statement, "I may not know how I got here, but I know I belong" is. You are doing something that you enjoy and thats all the matters in the long run. So proud of you missy!<br /><br />-JRLJasodactyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715938151929547275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1604074249203503013.post-32372683222101140932011-10-03T06:31:00.402-07:002011-10-03T06:31:00.402-07:00Tate friend, what a beautiful opportunity you'...Tate friend, what a beautiful opportunity you've been given and what a beautiful person you are!

Still to this day, being a 23 yr old man (debatable) a week doesn't go by without asking for some advice, or even just an emotional backboard! <br /><br />I'm glad you have a way to destress, if even just for a bit. Fort Collins is a beatuiful place in which every corner there is something to take your mind off life. People in old town, the painted electrical boxes, the buildings on campus, everything! I took a stroll in town my last night there, its super relaxing. <br /><br />That being said, it is a very strong characteristic missy, to always want the next best thing, to always have the highest goals set. Its a test of character really, to see if you are willing to just settle for what you have, or try for something better...<br /><br />Keep breathing, and keep enjoying the moment, the hardest part (for me at least) is to not forget that today is only for today, so don't wait for tomorrow. <br /><br />I tried calling you earlier, but it was probably while you were biking! Hope all is well!<br /><br />J.R.LJasodactyllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01715938151929547275noreply@blogger.com
