Well, i survived the first week at Wheaton. Thank you dearest sisters for the care packages... you both are the best. i am so thankful for you both.
Today i am meeting my PA (or RA) from taylor for lunch. i cant wait to see her. but it gets me to thinking... what will happen to all my friendships that i dearly cherish and love that i made at taylor? i will see my friends from home who go to taylor during summers and breaks, but not the girls on my wing. i wonder what God has in store for those friendships. I want to keep them, but it is very hard being far away and so busy. perhaps i will never get to see some of those girls again, and maybe i will. i hope to bump into them for the rest of my life in strange places and stages.
People ask me about 500 times a day, "so why did you transfer?" Its hard to explain why I left a place that I really did love, but I am happy where I am. I would not give up last year for anything, the bright things and the dark things.

hey boo- here's an easy answer to the "why why why" question. i got that all the time too- one cannot simply put into a few words all the many reasons a person goes through the trouble of transfering.....the reasoning is endless. and for me, i really didn't want to delve into the unpleasentness of my time at the other schools, so i would just smile and say, "i was called here". it works at wheaton. and that's that.

Oh Becca. We miss you terribly here as well! And, no matter what happens to any of us, we have forever together and I'm excited for that! There's a Becca on the wing this year, and everytime i refer to her i still picture you. And my time in the bathroom is more sad because i don't have someone to look at magazines with under the stall:)
I'm glad you're having fun and I'll be praying for you and your sore body.
LOVE YOU!
