Friends in Low Places

Low places... you know... the Valley.. where I live?!

Positive for today: Shauna is here!!! I am so excited!! She got to see some of campus (and more tomorrow), meet my friends, eat some yummy Hburg local food and fro-yo, see my apartment, you know - the stuff you do with friends! It is really nice sharing this part of my life with her. She is interviewing for a couple of graduate programs and one of them is the CSPA program at JMU! I hope everyone keeps her in your prayers. I know it would be soooo nice to have a familiar face in town with me (and share Skyline and Graeter's cravings with!) but I want the best for Shauna so I'm putting this in the Lord's hands as well. Hey - it worked with my summer internship!

I feel like I am being a poor host though. With the other candidates I was always so worried about them but with Shauna I just wanna hang out and drink a Woodchuck and lay around and chit chat. Tracy Skyped us a little bit and wished Shauna good luck but we are getting tired and tomorrow is a big day!... what a nice thought that I get to share a bed (which I just got a great deal on new sheets from TJMaxx!) with my ex-roomie from what seems so long ago! (It really wasn't that long either! Time sure does fly by.)

I don't think this post really embodies how I am feeling that I have someone around who makes me feel like home is nearby. I was getting pretty homesick and just playing it off nicely but now I have the encouragement to make it to spring break when I'll be at my old Kentucky home...
