you're only a day away

Well, tonight marks my last night home before another exciting school year! that's right, clothes are packed, room is cleaned (for the first time all summer), the u-haul is loaded and we leave on that lovely six hour drive to Abilene tomorrow! And I am SO excited for it. Don't get me wrong, this summer has been PERFECT. Seriously, it's been an absolutely amazing summer thanks to Bammel. I have LOVED my job and learned so much. But, I am so truly excited to be backin Abilene. (How sad is it that I'm so thrilled to be moving to a city of barely 100,000 people!?)

I'm really excited about what this semester and year holds. I'm so glad to not be a freshman anymore! This year, I'm living with two of my best friends in the world. They are precious and wonderful and darling and I adore them. And this weekend will be nothing but reuniting with them and decorating our super cute apartment/dorm. I cannot wait. And as nerdy as this sounds, I'm so excited for what my education holds this semester. I'm finally really getting into a lot of my education classes, and I'm just really looking forward to all of it! I'm really hoping to grow my relationship with God this year as well. I think with all of my experiences this summer, my relationship is so much deeper, and hopefully that will only continue throughout the year.

On a completely different note, today is my 9th day since my tonsillectomy! We went to the doctor today for my post-op appointment and everything is looking good! He was very impressed with my progress- Woohoo! Tonsillectomies = no fun. The first week post op wasn't pretty. I didn't respond well to the pain meds at first, so that was a challenge. But things are going smoothly now. I don't think I'll be eating any popsicles or ice cream for a loooong while though, I've had loads of it since last tuesday. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for me during my surgery and recovery!
