thank you for being a friend


My parents are AMAZING. seriously, you may think your parents are great, but mine are FANTASTIC. They have done so much and gone above and beyond the past few weeks (the past few weeks? really my whole life).
My mom has made countless trips to wal-mart, target, container store, and so many others the past few weeks trying to get me ready for sophomore year. And before all of this shopping began she was the ultimate mom taking care of me during my surgery/recovery. Seriously.. I had to take my pain meds every 4 hours, and she had alarms set all through the night to make sure I got my pain meds right on schedule. And she has just gone beyond out of her way to make sure I've got everything for my dorm and sophomore year set. She's my best friend. She's really shown me what it's like to live for Christ and show Him through her actions.
And my dad has been such a trouper this week. He's got A LOT on his plate with work and other things, and he has still been doing so much for our dorm room. He's built like 40 pieces of furniture and hung all kinds of things all over the place.. and has never complained. Both of them have just been awesome. They definitely put everyone before themselves and it was such an amazing example. I'm so blessed to have them for parents.


On a fun note- our dorm looks SOOO cute. We are still finishing up our decor.. so pictures are coming soon! It's amazing being on our own. We're having our first family dinner tonight, and I'm so excited about it all! ( the pic of me and my mom at the top is in our living room- so there's a sneak peak of the room!)
