just thinking...

Do you ever sit down and take a minute to think about life?

To remember all the people who have been a part of shaping it?

And the situations that have made you grow?

Sometimes I just look around me and think, "I am so blessed to have these amazing people in my life".

Last weekend I attended the wedding of one of my roommates from FLI.
I got to road trip from CO to KS with another FLI roommate and we stayed at a house with 2 other classmates.
It was a wonderful mini reunion and made me even more thankful for the roles they each play in my life.

A few other classmates were at the wedding also, so we were able to catch up and share what God has done in the last year and a half of our lives.

And now I am home in Morton. And get to spend time with the girls I have known since elementary school.
My friends I grew up with.
Became a Christian with.
Learned to drive with.
Worked with.
And spent countless hours talking about life, college, work and boys with.
These girls know what I am thinking with only an expression and love me in spite of all my flaws.
They have encouraged me, challenged me, and shaped me.

As I transition back to Morton, I think of all the friendships I have made here in IL and in CO and elsewhere in-between. I am truly blessed and thank the Lord for putting so many amazing people in my life.
