As Is

So, it’s like this. I left the Monday after my Saturday graduation from high school, spent 2 weeks at Camp Grady Spruce, went to Honduras, came home, left immediately to go back to camp for the rest of the summer, then came home for two days before Fish Camp and finally moved into A&M. All that background info is to say that this will be the longest time I’ve been in my own house since May!

All the simple things–and I really do mean simple–are just overwhelming me with smiles. Having my own bath tub instead of sharing a dorm shower, having use of a free washing machine and finding plenty of food in the pantry at midnight is amazing. I’ve only watched TV online all semester–maybe 10 episodes total of Brothers and Sisters and Grey’s Anatomy–so commercials are cracking me up again, too.

Wisdom from Twenty-somethings

Do you ever get to a point in your day when you think back to when you woke up and wonder how you got where you did?

I have to admit, I love waking up each day, not knowing exactly where I’ll end up or what might happen.

And every day, I have an adventure.

I don’t know if this is because I regard my days this way, or I subconsciously seek these experiences out, or perhaps I’m easily amused, or maybe I just pay attention to these types of things… but something special seems to happen each day. (more…)
