welcome back.

i'm in college. i've been here for about 2 and a half months, and it has been one of the hardest things i've ever done.  not hard in the traditional sense, with my nervous breakdowns and sobbing in a corner, but different.

i'm an adult. err, sort of. but i live halfway on my own and i buy my own groceries and actually do my dorm chores. i had to start over with the exception of a few and make all new friends, learn my way around a new town, learn how to do actual art the correct way.

it's so amazing though. boone is beautiful. i go on hikes and climb rocks, and i tailgated in the snow. cru is every thursday and i'm so blessed with those small group girls. i prayed for a few good friends - God gave me the small group, girls on my hall, and andrew's entire floor. who am i to complain?

rooming with another person isn't easy, and i'm still single.

but my friend kaitlyn helped me so much. she reminded me that singleness is not a permanent state. i may be called to singleness now, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's true for next week or next year. woah.

this weekend i'm going home to see my family and my best friends. it'll be good to drive and hang with them again, splatter paint and footloose and disney movies in all (:

so life is good right now. different, but good. i'm learning more about other people and myself and God's plan for me than i ever expected in a few months. and i'm still just as close with my old friend as i was before, and moving on with new friends too.

wow. just wow. how can i be so blessed? thank you, daddy :)
