I'm really into giveaways these days.

Loving all of the vendors I am finding at http://www.blushenvy.com/blog.html through their giveaway! Especially Origami Owl. Even if I don't win, I'm excited to have stumbled upon some awesome shops!

Oh.

Wow. I'm going to Africa today.

Awesome.

I'm in my computers in music class right now.

My professor has a clear view of my computer screen and he doesn't care.

"Computers In Music" is code for "biggest waste of time".

Only 5/50 could be happier than me.

I came to the realization tonight that my life now is better than it ever has been.

Some things have changed. I miss certain things. I miss relationships with certain people.

All in all, though, my life is just perfection.

I receive so much encouragement from the people I live with and around. I go to a school that is able to implement values I so dearly treasure into their teaching. I'm constantly aware of God's presence in my life...I have specific examples..one after the other. My relationships are fantastic. School is so hard, but I'm so in love with it. I'm not a number. I'm a LADY! (that's why) My days are stretched out with singing and dancing. I get to go hold African babies.

I feel more passion for what I believe than I ever have before.

I feel more compassion for people than I ever have before.

I just want to love you all. I do. I love you.

Getting an inch of snow is like winning ten cents in the lottery.

Last night I went on my annual First Snow of the Season walk.

A little depressing, as most of the snow had melted by the time it was dark and quiet enough to take it. It's the principle of the thing. I had to.


It was weird doing it in a different area than I am used to. Since I started this tradition I have always lived at home and done it around that neighborhood.

This time I'm at college in a different setting. There is a different feel.

Things are changing. Lives. Seasons. Most of it's good. Some is questionable. Some is hard.

I still enjoy the weather that permits Madeline coats and Italian scarves. It's beautiful.
