I'm a Big Kid Now
The last couple of days have been full of fun and firsts. My mom and dad came up on Friday and helped us move in. What an adventure that was! It was sprinkling all day, but that was so much better than blistering heat! It was so nice to see my parents again. We took them out to dinner Friday night and it was wonderful. I miss my parents more than I lead on. I feel like I grew up too quickly.
If you would have told me the day I left Missouri for college Freshman year would be the last time I'd live in Missouri, I'd say you were crazy. God works in unpredictable ways and I truly appreciate every surprise around the corner. Who knows what this summer alone will bring!
Sadly, my dad left Saturday afternoon and my mom left Monday morning, so the time was limited. I had a wonderful time with both parents, but it wasn't long enough. I'll be home for the 4th of July for a week or so to see my family again. I already can't wait!
Since my mom left on Monday, Eryn and I have organized our apartment and started decorating. Though it is pretty bare so far, it feels like home. It's a weird feeling knowing I am responsible for my life now; my food, shelter, clothing, everything. I pretty much did that since I got my first job at 16, my I always had my mom to bail me out if I needed it. Now, my name is on the lease and it's my responsibility. I can't believe it.
I have a couple more days off work and I am excited to have the time off. This semester was unnecessarily busy. I am looking forward to a couple days of relaxation. I cannot wait.
Goals for the summer:
1. Start and finish 5 books.
2. Run/train for my half-marathon in October.
3. Eat healthfully once again.
4. Spend more time with friends.
5. Spend more one-on-one time with God.
Well, that's all I have for now! More to come soon!
