Funny looks.

Home is the most wonderful place.  Snow, family, snow, rest, family, snow...well you get it.  It funny how every time I come home I realized how blessed I am at school, my second home.  I'm currently sitting in the only coffee shop in town that has free wifi typing this because my house has virtually no internet or cell service.  Its quiet and the cars drive by but its not like southern california busy...there aren't many people here and its lit by little lamps and people that come in are the regulars.  I sit here and catch up on emails and facebook messages, mostly from my girls and my staff, and can't help by smile.  You see I started this year knowing that I would have 40 residents to get to know and that I would be living in the same place as these girls and in a sense they were my goal.  But that has changed.  They no longer have become a goal but simply a pleasure.  My frame of mind went from getting to know these residents to living life with these girls who I am so blessed by.  They are constantly on my mind and when someone asks how being and RA is going, all I want to talk about is all the things we've done and all the funny moments and all the ways in which God has been so faithful and worked so diligently on my hall.  Its incredible and I miss these girls so much.  

On another note. I go to Chicago in 1 week.  I got a text from my roommate yesterday and I don't get picture texts but I jus think they (whoever they is) knew how much I missed her little face cause this picture I got.  :)  Between here and there I have family, shopping for a bridesmaids dress, christmas, my sister's birthday and enjoying being at home.  And it will all go so fast.  But I am going to squeeze every last second out of being home and with my family.  And then my adventure to Chicago will begin.  AND I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED!!!!!  I have missed my roommate more then I thought this semester and I cant wait to see her and her little home and life in Chicago.  And for her to come back to school and welcome her into our room and our hall and our residents!  It will be the most wonderful last semester of college ever!  Which is a weird statement to say but I couldn't be more thrilled with everything that God is doing in my life.  It's just going to be so good.
