so a lot has happened lately 
my beautiful roomie, tiffany, and her wonderful boyfriend (now fiancee), steven, got engaged this weekend! i am so thrilled for them… they are a wonderful couple and they absolutely adore each other. it’s been fun seeing their relationship evolve since august. i love them both and am so excited for our condo to be filled with wedding magazines, lots of chaos, etc.
also, my grandmother is really sick. really sick. i’m not good with the specifics, and to be honest… after talking to my dad, there really aren’t any specifics except her body is just shutting down. this is the first person in my family that i’ve known, to be this sick and this close to leaving us. SO… if you pray, please pray for my grandmother. and for my dad… because his dad died when he was 11, so losing his mom is going to hurt him even moreso. so if you think about it, just throw up a little prayer for her she’s still fighting really hard.. her heart is still there and she’s a feisty one. that’s keeping her alive!
i feel like i’m being challenged to REST. to take time for quietness. to let the Lord speak to me, reveal stuff to me, or maybe He won’t say anything at all… but just disciplining me to take that time out of my day to reflect, spend with Him, spend alone, spend some time in quiet… so i’ve been trying to do that. some days are easier to work through than others… but after a string of events recently, it was time to slow down and stop bogging down and consuming my life with things that simply do not matter in the long run. this is the beginning of a looooong process of restoration. but i’m fighting hard. i’m at peace. it’s so so so incredibly weird for me. especially with the way things have been the last few months. i’m at peace. i was able to fall asleep soundly and without my mind racing. i feel like myself again. it’s just really different from how things have been. happiness is well on its way!
this semester has been a very eventful one thus far. i’ve been to a mixer (my first one since i’ve been in zeta) with Pi Kappa Phi, went to Pi Kappa Alpha semiformal in dahlonega last weekend (SO SO SO MUCH FUN!), we had Zeta bid night, and tomorrow we have our annual ZTA Crush Party… i have been super into greek life this semester, moreso than usual. i have my position to thank as well as some incredible girls. i’ve gotten a lot closer to my sisters this semester. i can honestly say, there is not one person that i dislike. i am really blessed and privileged to be the new member mom to 10 incredible girls, as well as a sister to 56 other beautiful, incredible women! i know a lot of you probably don’t understand sorority/fraternity life or whatever… but it’s a huge part of my life. and it’s WONDERFUL. so don’t knock it ’til you try it it keeps me busy, but i wouldn’t trade it for anything.
i don’t really have much else to write… i’m sure lots of stuff has gone on, but i suck at remembering things. all my days feel like blurs most of the time. school is kicking my butt. i had 2 tests on tuesday and i have 3 next week. so that is just stinky. but, i’ll get through it with a high high stress level just like i do every semester 
i’m back to being me. i like me. me is good.
