An Update for You Guys....Rachael: Things have been going well here at EKU. I've learned a lot.... definitely. I don't even know how to tell you everything that I've learned. I don't think I could. Sometimes it's overwhelming and I think I'd rather be back at home and still in high school, but then other times (the majority), I look back and I think about how stunted I would be if I were still in high school and I'm just glad that I'm not there anymore. I don't know how else to explain it. I've changed a lot, but definitely not for the worse. It's amazing what college does to a person. I don't think I could go back home again (for longer than a weekend). I have a feeling that Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks are going to be extremely tough for me. Having this experience of freedom and being dependent on no one else is exciting, and yet sobering. For so long I was "sheltered" from everything and forced to submit to what my parents wanted.... Now I don't have that. It's quite a liberating experience. I don't know how to explain it anymore to those of you who have never been out on your own for the first time. I must say, it's amazing! Chrystal: (It's up to Chrystal to fill this part out....) I know she was having a great time, and I know that she was sick and I know that she's going home this coming weekend, and I know that she found a friend that's exactly like Ben (frightening!) but otherwise, I don't really know anything about what's happening in her life right now. For those of you who read this, tell her to update this. - edddddddddittttoooo - i am in...... O-H-i-O ! can we say...i never expected to be so happy about ohio....:] just so you all know....buncha slackers out there ! no one let me know that Rae had updated/asked me to update. =] but i still love all of you....a note to Rae: [i love the icon/picture thingie] uhm...in updating, the friend that i thought was most definately not. if you want explaination you'll have to ask because i refuse to tell on here. uhm.....i apologize to everyone for not keeping in better contact but like i said you all must call, text, email, facebook, and myspace, etc...whatever it takes ! kids...totally get a hold of me somehow. i would love to talk to any of you. God has been teaching me a lot lately. In case you didn't read on my other site, I'm now a prayer leader and no its not because i'm super spiritual or because i'm so Godly. It's not about me. God blessed me with a wonderful oppurtunity and i'm very excited to be able to lead my small group of women. i love being a broken servant of the Lord. i've been blessed with wonderful friends who are willing to come behind me with prayer and encouragement ! i saw wedding date recently and loved this quote... - i'd miss you, even if i'd never met you. - i love you. and so does Rae.... <3 |
