It's March, and somehow, we survived February without obnoxious amounts of snow, ice, negative wind chills, and cold in general. In fact, on that day that only comes once every four years - it was 70 degrees. I didn't hate it a bit.
I swear, Father Time is on fast-forward because I find it impossible to believe I am officially more than halfway done with the second semester of my junior year of college. Yes, that means there's only 2 and a half semesters left. Let the grad school applications, "last time at/doing/for...." events, squeezing the life out of every second even more than I already do, and any other senior activity begin. Well, not quite...you see, there's the whole "last summer" issue to attend to. Much to the dismay of my boyfriend, I will be spending two weeks in Alaska with my brother, sister-in-law, and baby niece - probably fending off all the crazies featured on Alaska State Troopers, right Johnny? #jokesonjokes But in all seriousness, I get the chance to shadow an Army Physical Therapist on base at a time when soldiers are coming back from their tours overseas. Needless to say, it's a completely amazing opportunity and to say I'm excited is an understatement.
I would guess than three of my summer weekends will be spent in Salyersville, Kentucky, visiting some of my best friends at the UDSAP house. I feel like a proud mom to know the 2012 UDSAP community will be made up of such wonderful people and they're about to have life-changing summers! We'll be communicating old school style - letters, care packages, Morse code, and smoke signals - for 9 whole weeks! Such exciting adventures to be had and I couldn't be more thrilled for them... Jann, Tay, Grace, Anna, Petah - K some A down there, okay? :)
Although I will be sadder than sad to say goodbye to 57 Woodland come May, I am more than pleased to pass the best house at Dayton onto 6 wonderful, beautiful girls and let them share the magic that is the yellow house on the corner. They're going to do great things as an MSC, I'm sure of it. Speaking of - I'll also be sad to say goodbye to living with a house full of girls, there have been ups, there have been downs, tears, and laughter, but I wouldn't trade the learning and growing experience for anything. We've still got 8ish weeks of meals, prayer, lazy Saturday afternoons, and random fun to be had before we kiss junior year and the Darkside goodbye. Who knows what next year will bring - maybe I'll be on a floor of freshman girls? Maybe I'll be in my own apartment? Maybe I'll be up in the Bombing Commons with Yann! Whatever happens is meant to be that way and I'm excited to see what that is.
Happy Monday, everyone. Sorry for such a lame post. It was the best I could do in such a short amount of time! And no, this baby is no relation to me...some things are just too good to be true.
For today: don't sweat the small stuff, it will never be more than small stuff, so don't make it that way!
