May the road rise to meet you

Well... I am terrible at keeping up. 

So much has happened! I have been crazy busy these past few weeks, just figuring out life and living it. It's been a whirlwind.

School has finally begun to feel like home, which is certainly a relief after the first few weeks of being there. 

We've had our fair share of adventures: floor art night, white water rafting, Boomsday, farmers markets, late-night pizza, lots of The Office, volunteering, and so much more! 

. . .


And now I am finally home. It is strange to be here, I feel like I am in limbo, a little bit.



But things I love about being home:

FOOD. So much good food. All the time. 

Having my laundry done for me.

My awesome, hilarious, wonderful parents.

Actually seeing my brother.

Seeing and loving on this crazy kid:

(Missed her to death)

A bed that is full size and NOT lofted seven feet in the air. 

Couches.

Driving and singing at the top of my lungs.

Realizing why I loved growing up in Murfreesboro. 

. . .

You know, although I realize that a lot has changed in these past 6 weeks, I still feel like everything makes sense. 

So here's to fall, and all the glorious inspiration that comes with it. Here's to home and familiar faces, to hugs and lovin'.

It's safe to say it was a fantastic weekend.
