Goodnight Starlight, Goodbye Laura Gristop

Last night we had a going away party for Laura the German. I have the flu at the moment and I had been working on gifts and things for her for several days prior to this so when the party actually came I was caught kind of off guard, I found that I hadn't acutally been giving any real thought to the fact that she was really leaving. The party went well and by some small miracle everything worked out. All to soon it was time to hug her goodbye, it was a moment that I shall treasure for the rest of my life. Goodbye Laura.

Warm Breezes and Green Leaves

It's here, oh thank God it's finally here. Summer. My first year of college is over which is weird to think about and kind of scary because it went by so amazingly fast. I havn't been able to post in awhile because of a distint lack of a decent internet connection at my house. Anyway I am having a wonderful time of it, lots of time with the girl, lots of time with the Jamie, and the Brian. Spent some time dancing to Eisley, taking some pictures, enjoying the summer. This is going to be to wonderful for words.

The Last

In my constant state of longing for home I almost completely forgot that going home really means leaving here. Not that I've grown any real love for Boone, but there are definitely some people here I'm going to miss. Some of the people I would really miss i will be seeing anyway like April and Jonathan, and Neil's living in Greensboro this summer. So, I will be seeing them. Hopefully I'll see Britty at the Journey and Micah's wedding. And hopefully I'll see Darrel and Kim sometime when I head back up here. I guess I probably won't see Nikki and Rebe that stinks. I know i won't see Kyle and that really sucks, she'll be in Utah. Hopefully I'll see Dave from time to time, that would be cool. I don't like this feeling of being torn between two places, but only one really has my heart. But i've been here for long enough and I really can't wait to be home. God has blessed me so richly. I have such friends.

P.S- sorry for the rambling about people you might not know.
