"Home" (Naperville) is where my heart is
Let me just start off by saying I love being at "home". This is truly where my heart is these days. Being away from school has been awesome... it was definitely time for a break. At least a break from class. I'm kinda missin my friends, but I think we all know why.So, it's Saturday night and for the first time all break I'm relaxing. I've had a blast hanging out with old friends, that's for sure! But it's nice to just chill. My friend, Laura and I were talking about how its so weird that at this time next year our group of friends is going to be not only spread across the country, but across the world. We were looking through old pictures of us in middle/high school and at church and its so wild how much we've grown and changed, not just physically of course. We're so old these days. Most of my friends are married, engaged, or in a seriously relationship thinking about marriage and it's nuts and a huge leap from where we were when we first met. I love coming back here though because walking into friend's houses is like walking into my own home. It's a huge comfort to know that these places where I spent most of my childhood are still going to be here even when I'm gone (as in not in the area anymore).
We were bummed when we were talking about how things used to be and all that, but it's also super exciting and amazing because despite all the changes that we've all gone through we're still friends. We're always going to be friends on some level, especially if we can go 3 years without seeing each other (Rob) and still be cool. This is yet another reason why Christ is amazing and so faithful. He provides for us and then it's in our hands, but as long as He's in our lives, we're good. Make sense? It does to me, so I'm moving on. :o)
Tomorrow I have to make the dreaded drive back to the WU and try to finish up this semester strong. I'm meeting an old high school/IWU friend for coffee before heading back, so maybe that'll give me enough of a boost to get back to school. I'm so not wanting to deal with these next 2 or 3 weeks. Not just the school work, but figuring out friendships and what not. I'm sure it'll be good though... God's got my back.
One a different note I'm totally psyched about decorating my apartment tomorrow night! It's gonna be so fun! Actually I have to wrap this up because I'm helping Liz and Terry set up their tree as soon as Kayla goes to sleep. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
