Time's slipping by. And for the most part...I am glad. I wish some of it would go faster. I would like my last day of work to hurry up and get here so I wouldn't have to deal with all the crap anymore...but I wish that the days that I have with my students and my friends at work would slow down...the times I have with my friends outside of work....my family...I wish it would all just slow down. I want to savor those moments. Really drink them in and appreciate them.
Certainly, it's not as if any of this stuff isn't ever going to happen again. It will...but not with the same people, not in the same way, and not for a very long time. And I think that's what has me nervous and a little bit sad. I am afraid that when I leave here...I will be forgotten. I will fade from people's thoughts and the time I will have spent here will have been for naught. I am selfish enough to not want this...I want to be missed. And I am afraid that I won't be.

I am not quite in the same spot as you are, but kinda. Wanting to cherish every moment with my students and you guys, while at the same time wanting them to go faster. I do want to let you know, though, that you will never be forgotten. Yes, communication will change in frequency and topic, but you will not be forgotten. You will not be forgotten because there are too many stories to tell and to many "remember when..." memories to share. You have been such an integral part of relationships at GCU and outside that it will be impossible to completely forget Kristen Kay Snyder. Besides, why would anyone want to ever forget someone who has brought such joy to our lives?
P.S. Jill and I are totally planning on coming to visit you next summer with Huntington. You can't get rid of us that easily. Just think, by then Huntington will be almost 2, totally running around, and talking up a storm.
NEVER! As I have tears in my eyes,knowing you won't be in the same town as me, the tears aren't cause you might be forgotten but because you actually think that could happen. I love you, I love the wisdom that God's given you, the laughter we have shared over years of knowing each other and I mostly love that no matter how long its been or what is going on with you, you will drop everything if I need you and you are ALWAYS the friend God has asked you to be. I am so thankful that God has given me you, the ONE person in my life who I really believes GETS me and thinks my quirks are neat and appreciates me. I don't always feel like I have that with other people. Please know that you were made perfectly by a perfect God, no weight or exercise will change or affect that. GOD is the only person you need to please, including parents. I know you know that, but I just wanted to remind you that being useful to our Master is what matters. I think your nearly perfect, anyways!
