Here we go again!

I am going to attempt to start blogging again! Hopefully I will follow through this time.... JUST BE WARNED that I am extremely busy lately and I still do not have a computer (should be of no surprise to anyone)...and so even though I love to talk/type/interact with you all, it might not be as often as I would prefer....


I do not even know where to start. Lets see--


My volleyball career is over, at least as a player. I am currently coaching the top 16s team for a club called Sportsplex Volleyball here in Greensboro. It is so much fun- I struggled at first because it is very hard to motivate 16 year olds to WANT to play when their parents have forced them to play...The other coach and I make it pretty fun, and everyone seems to want to play, and want to win and work hard now...I feel satisfied that we were able to accomplish that! It is still sad that I am now considered  a "retired college athlete!" [I am going to apply for a coaching position at Union Mine! pray for me...or just wish me luck!]


I am graduating on MAY FIFTH! (cinco de mayyooo). There are 69 days until graduation--but who's counting, right?... My thoughts about this could warrant their own blog entry, I will do that as it gets closer...I will say though that the word bittersweet can sum my feelings up about graduating and entering the real world pretty sufficiently at this point. That, or terrifiexcited! (Terrified + Excited) :]


Post-grad plans--don't get me started. So far this year I have wanted to be a dental hygienist, firefighter, an employee for PBR (not the beer!), Director of Operations for the Olympics, work with a NASCAR team, a pig farmer, full time graduated college kid, camp counselor and a volleyball coach.-- I have applied to numerous (and random) jobs, I have some interviews coming up, but needless to say- I think I am having a quarter-life crisis...and will probably use the next year to work my way up the totem pole and get more experience...I don't expect a 'big kid' job right out of college, and I hope that ya'll don't expect that of me either!


This summer, I am still not sure if I will be back home in Cali, or out here in North Carolina! (Sorry Shast!)...Heck, I could be in Colorado, Florida, Alabama or Rhode Island depending on responses (or lack thereof) to my applications! It is kind of scary but fun not knowing where I will be 69+ days from right now... All I really know at this point that I can be sure of is that I will end up where I am supposed to. Everything will work out. I have faith and trust that God will make something happen in my life.


Oh, yeah, that's another thing... I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, and let me tell you....its the best feeling...ever. Yes, it is still me, Taylor. Still the same girl you all know and (hopefully still) love. February 12th is my spiritual birthday...[nope, I did not plan for it to be on the 12th day in the 12th year, it just happened that way]...Why? Who cares? How is this making the blog? Might be questions you are asking yourselves, but it is a huge part of my life recently and I am overfilled with joy and wanted to share... I will write about it in the next few days....if you find that you would rather read about something else, no problem, won’t hurt my feelers- I promise [for those of you that would like to, its ..l..o..n..g.. but you could have guessed that already!]

Basically lately I have been trying to grow in my faith, be a good student, volleyball coach, and employee and try to find a car to buy. I feel like I have 0 time anymore between homework, midterms, take-home tests, job applications, car researching and reading the bible and meeting in bible studies, so I think that starting to blog will be a release for me. I really enjoy it. Mainly because if I am talking too much and you find that you are not interested anymore, I will never know. I won’t see you make any faces or check your phone or watch multiple times or look over your shoulder in hopes that someone you know is walking by ;) You can just simply hit the [x] in the top corner.

Spring Break is starting next Thursday for me. Jordy and Hank are going to visit Friday to help me test drive cars and get a feel for what I like. Then I have a volleyball tournament on Saturday and on Sunday my friend Brittany, her sister Brandy and I are going to drive down to Orlando to meet up with Jordyn and Hank. We will spend from the 4-7th in a timeshare Dad got us. Jord is going to be getting settle in her next home until May at Disney World. So I will be helping her with that! I am so excited for her! So proud that she has such a great opportunity before her! It will be really great to have a break from all my hw and baseball/softball games/hours...

Tomorrow (technically today- cuz im nocturnal) is the DAYTONA 500...this time last year mom had the computer set up on a chair in front of the tv in their living room so that I could watch the finish. Praying that Trevor Bayne has a phenomenal day tomorrow, and Michael McDowell...and my main squeeze Kasey Kahne, obviously..... As long as everyone has a safe race, I will be a happy camper!

Okay, abrupt ending, but I need to walk back to Hodgins to get some sleep. Long day tomorrow!
:] <3
