I'm sitting in Gwinn, our school cafeteria, and reminiscing memories from these past 9 months. It's been a complete whirlwind. I cannot believe how fast it all went - I remember having my dad tell me that as we get older time goes faster and faster. He couldn't have been more right.
The service yesterday at Mars Hill was a great way to end the school year. Not only was it a blessing, once again, to attend church with some close friends of mine, but also enjoy the time in fellowship before heading out for 4 months of summer. I vividly remember singing "My God, My Father" with my parents at my side the first weekend of school back in September - sure enough, this song was one of the many great ones we sang yesterday. Being at Mars with friends and thinking back to how far I've come this year was incredible!
I have been so, so blessed this year. It's been a wonderful start to an amazing college career! As much as I am looking forward to the summer, I know September will bring joyous reunions and Seattle will be a place I am excited to come back to.
Teehee I think you may have been doing this when I was sitting there in Gwinn with you! It's funny because I remember being told too that time goes faster. It's a fact that kind of sneaks up on you suddenly and then hits you like BAM and you look back in disbelief that months have gone by. It is outrageous! But one thing I can say for sure is that not only have you been blessed, but you have blessed me. I have enjoyed becoming close friends with you over this year, not only for the laughs and silly times, but for the "real" stuff as well. I think you are an incredible person and I wish you the best this summer. Keep in touch and I can't wait to hear all about it when we reunite in September! Much love, girl!
