okay time for a blog of somewhat seriousness 
i got a message today from a dear friend of mine back at school, rachel… telling me that she had a room available for me back at samford if i changed my mind and wanted to come back. and it made me so sad. because i am going to miss samford so much. that was my home for the last year… and i loved every second of every minute that i was there, even the times where i felt like i was losing myself. i am very thankful for all the experiences that i had and all the sweet friends that i made. samford really is a place unlike any other. it is definitely its own world, a little bubble. and no one understands it unless you go there. but i am seriously going to miss my roomie, my big, rachie, cal, lys, andi, lauren, elissa, and all my zeta sisters and all my sigma nu boys. i was really looking forward to getting a little sister in the fall… and now my zeta fam has ended 
which is sad.. and i was looking forward to being a sigma nu little sister and getting to do all their events now that they can have parties again, and i’ll miss stepsing and living in my janky bedroom again. i’ll even miss caf food and samford sidewalks. but nonetheless, i am stepping out and coming home. but already everything has fallen into place perfectly.
i am so excited to move out into my apartment with krissy. i think it’s going to be an experience for both of us that will be fruitful and strengthening. we are planning on being here until we get married one day. so we are very excited to make this change and make this place feel like our home. and to decorate.. we promise to have everyone over for dinner and games and stuff as soon as we get all settled in! it’s going to be the cutest place ever… it’ll be nice to live with my best friend, but also for us to have our own rooms and bathrooms and stuff so that we can retreat at the end of a long day if we really just want to be alone. krissy doesn’t need her alone time as much as i do, so she’ll be okay with whatever. but she knows me so well and knows i’ll need my alone time. and with me being in school during the day and her being in school at night, we will have opposite schedules. so we will eat breakfast together and then get to relax at night and catch up. we are very excited and looking so forward to decorating! i am also excited to start my nursing classes at georgia state and will definitely be spending a majority of my time studying and working. so life will be…. eventful to say the least.
i had a talk with my sweet friend, mary catherine, today… and she and i both have the same heart. we just talked and it was so refreshing. mainly we talked about the world and how it changes our perceptions of things and like the difference between our faith and the law… and how we put too much pressure on ourselves and how it changes our perception of God. it was so so so refreshing for my soul, and i hope it was for hers too. i am just sick of christians as well as myself trying to uphold the “good christian” image. it is so exhausting and so unrealistic. and so boring. and if more people were honest, they’d probably say the same thing. i just like people who are real.
anyway. 1 more full day and then i am HOME. i love home. and i miss my boy. and i miss my friends. and i miss my brother and my other sister. i live a good life. i really and truly do. i am so blessed to be able to have people to love and to have others who love me. life is good.
be blessed!
