My Wonderful Family!

Going away to college has its ups and downs. You get to explore new places and have new adventures, but you leave behind some amazing people. My family is pretty much the most amazing family ever. 

My sister is the best. She's gorgeous, a straight out jock, and hilarious too. I'm pretty sure one day I'll see her face on a box of Wheaties. I wish I could be home to see more of her basketball and softball games, because she's a beast. Nuff said. Keep kickin' booty Cora. 

My mom is wonderful as well. She's beautiful, sweet, and fantastic at being a mom! My dad is super funny, crazy, and the best, too. I just love my parents. They're always there to help me through any struggles I may be having, whether they be emotionally, financially, or otherwise. I couldn't have asked for better, more loving parents!

I just wanted you all to know that I miss you dearly! Family is such a precious thing, and unfortunately, you learn that more when you don't get to be around them daily. I hope that all is going well at home, and I love you all!

Best family ever^^^

The Value of Friendship

Sometimes God brings things into our lives for a season. We may not get to have the things that we love forever, so it's so important to make sure that we love the people that He places into our lives! 

I just recently experienced one of the changing of seasons in my life, and I have transferred schools. I'm now able to be with someone that I love dearly, but I also had to leave some of the best friends that a girl could have. Starting college is crazy at first. There are so many new faces, but to find the few that will end up making life's crazy adventures even more fun is the hard part. 

Cheyenne, Jacob, and Samuel were the three people that made my fall semester a great experience. They're super stellar people :) they love the Lord with all of their hearts, and there was definitely never a dull moment in our hangouts! Leaving them was one of the hardest things that I've had to do, but I know that friendships like that don't just die. I'm already excited for my road-trips back to good ol' Tulsa! 

I hope you guys have a fantastic Spring semester without me, and you better be ready for when I'm back! I'm gearing up to see what life has in store for my future, and I know you each will be in it. (:
