Whoever said 'a picture is worth a thousand words' was a very wise person. Suite 128 is most definately a room worth more than a thousand words! Kristen, my amazing roommate and I decided to go to the greatest store on earth to find decorations for our dorm... THE DOLLAR STORE! If you ever need simple supplies, or just random things, The Dollar Store is where you should go! Kristen and I had a blast looking for things and even more fun putting it up! Hopefully you all will get to see them! It is so much fun!
I have to say I do miss one thing about home, it's something that every person can't live without! Something that everyone LOVES... I miss... THE FOOD!!!!! No lie! That's it, sorry family but I do love you guys so much! By food I guess I should add that I miss the whole experience, eating the fresh jalapeno's at Moe's with my favorite family ever (The Redfields) and the HUGE potatoes at McAlister's... I almost wish I still worked there! ALMOST, I said, don't forget to read that very important word!
I'm so very proud of how close my family have been just over the past 4 months! I'm proud to call you my family! I'm even more proud to say, "look at these pictures my family sent me!" Believe it or not, I'm the only one who has gotten pictures from my family! Yes, I did laugh at all of them, but even more I really just wanted to ask... WHO DOES THAT?! Just kiddin' I loved them!
I have already made two trips to JAMBA JUICE, with many more to come!!!! Just had to boast a little!
The Trinity campus is so amazing, I was so uncomfortable coming up there and now I don't know where else I would be! Anywhere and anytime I go somewhere I am always greeted by someone! I love all of my classes, it is hard though. I have gotten back two quizzes already with not so good grades already! I did get my first paper back with the highest grade on it (check plus)!!!!! I have been keeping up on my weightwatchers and working out, for anyone who would like to know! I am NOT giving up on myself! Those of you who are 'encouraged by me' (so my mom says, though I don't know that its true) have kept me motivated! So, thank you! This is my lifestyle, not a diet! My roommate forces me to go when I don't want to, which is a blessing to have someone to go with me and encourage me! I am actually like her personal trainer, whenever I do something she's says, "oh, what is that? Will you help me do 'this' or 'that'?" Or she will ask, "help me to eat better! PLEASE!" Of course I don't object from all of the times Ryan Meo kicked my butt! She does wake up sore somedays, as did I and I still do!
*Mom: Emi had to put her BOOTY back on, but we are decorating it for her so that it makes her feel good about wearing in an extra two weeks or so!
**To my family: I know this has come to a shock to our family once again but just remember to keep strong in your faith! I can't say that I am sad, about either of these deaths. Let me explain: I find it amazing to know that both of our men are up in heaven probably saying, "I BEAT YOU!" Which is no fair, because I so badly want to be with my Savior, Jesus Christ! I can't say I'm not sad, but what a blessing that they get to spend eternity with our SAVIOR! It may feel like an eternity for us down here, but it's only a second for them! Paul wrote to the Corinthians: ..."Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But THANKS BE TO GOD! He gies up victory through our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Therefore, my dear bothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you... chapter 15 v. 54-58 (with my own revision)
I love you.

You don't know how good it makes me feel to know you've moved right in and it feels like "home". You have that Nomad spirit like your dad. Love the "additions" to your dorm room! Especially the window clings. I am a little concerned about the Just Married signs though. LOL
