a big thanks to SU

The semester is winding down and I can't help but think of everything that has happened in my last four years of college. The amount of hours I have spent on projects, papers, lesson plans, and activities. The many places I have spent hours and years living, breathing, and experiencing at Shippensburg University. The number of friends I have grown to love and cherish during hangouts and the usual weekend get-together. The countless education colleagues that I've watched go through Student Teaching and come out the other end. The long, hot days of cheering in the beating sun, rooting for the football players on Saturdays with my ladies. The endless nights of staying up too late and getting up too early. The enormous amount of money spent on good food and good wine. The unforgettable amount of laughs and tears shed from long nights of chatting with my gal pals and doing insanely ridiculous things. This is where it all ends. Or is this where it all begins?

As I calmly wait for my time to shine during student teaching this coming August, I reminisce on these incredible moments of my college career. I couldn't thank my roommates, professors, colleagues, friends and most importantly, my family, enough for all their love and support.

I'm coming for you STUDENT TEACHING!!

Thank you SHIP-
thank you Shippen Hall

The light blue house on the corner

Wow. All I can say is wow. 

Where has the time gone? Didn't we just move in like yesterday??

It has been truly amazing living with these four lovely ladies. We are the 120 Fort Street gals and we wouldn't have it any other way. To my friends, thanks for laughing with me and 1 am. Thanks for doing the unimaginable and risky business. Thanks for always going out or staying in. To the house, thanks for giving us the best memories that college girls could ask for. Thanks for allowing us to make this place our {{home}}. 120 Fort St, you hold a special place in our hearts!! We are forever grateful to have had a place like this, even with all of its flaws and mistakes. 

Cheers to a new chapter in all of our lives! 

xoxo

{{nine years}} I never knew how much could happen in nine years. I miss you every day. I'm selfish for wishing i could have spent much more time with you. I wish I would have known you would be taken away from me so soon. I wish you could see me graduate in December.  I feel you with me. I wish you could give me one more hug. I love you and I miss you. 💔

Accepting our fears in life

In church today, we are expressing our fears in life and our fears with God. Jay and I had decided to make a list of our fears. (My list of fears was much longer than this..)

We want to confront these fears. 

"Fear will dominate us"

"We will depend on securities that cannot keep us secure" 

We need to see God for who he is. We need to exercise faith and he will reach out and uphold me.

My friend is engaged!!!

My best friend/roommate got engaged yesterday to the love of her life. It is amazing to see a love like theirs. Her and her boyfriend… Well now fiancé, have been together for almost 6 years!! (GOALS) Well they were moving into their house yesterday, he got down on one knee in front of the sold sign... And he popped the question. I am over the moon excited for these two love birds. Bring on the wedding planning, the extensive drinking of wine, and all the love and laughter that will go in to this exciting time. My heart is so full!!
