Hey everyone!!

Things have been crazy around here with getting in the swing of new classes, new schedules, new jobs, and new living arrangements to get use to.

We finally got things put together this past week in the living room and kitchen. 

It's a bit of a rainbow in the living room but it works.

(No turning down free furniture when you started with none.)

It's nothing huge or fancy, but it works well for us.

The kitchen is small, but it is such a blessing to have a kitchen to cook and bake in!

If you follow that hallway with the closets down you will come across the two bedrooms and the bathroom at the end.

It is not a huge apartment, but it is decent size for the four of us.

We are so thankful to be able to have an apartment this year while we are at school.

It is mismatched and everything, but we love it anyways!!

The pictures aren't great and it is a tad bit of a mess but this is my home for the year!

I will hopefully be able to put some pictures up of the bedrooms soon, as well as the bathroom.

Looking forward to sharing some other news with you all in a couple of days!

I hope everyone's week has been going well!

Prayers for a good day tomorrow too!!

Throwback Thursday

It's that time of the week again!!

I know I didn't post a throwback last week because I was busy and it got put off.

However, I am back with one this week.

This throwback is not from many years ago, but rather from just about 2 years ago.

It comes from my freshman year of college.

We are quite an attractive group at 3am aren't we? Lol!

This group of awesome ladies pictured above is roughly half of my freshman dorm floor.

There are about 15 or so of us (most of which are pictured) that still hang out on a regular basis.

These ladies are some of the most awesome friends I could have asked for during my first year of college.

They have been an amazing support system on the good days, as well as the bad.

Collectively as a group we have been through all kinds of things.

In individual groups of 2-4 we have gone through numerous trials of all kinds.

I have had the opportunity to room with two of the lovely ladies in the above picture.

And this coming year I will have the opportunity to room with a couple of other girls from my floor, although they are not pictured above.

God knew exactly what He was doing when He put us all together on one floor that first year.

He has given us awesome friends! Sisters for life!

I got the blessing of not only rooming with 50 awesome ladies my freshman year, but getting to room with 10 of those awesome ladies my sophmore year.

There are 8 of us that will be living in the same apartment complex next year.

There will be many others visiting on a regular basis though, so that number is just those actually listed as living there.

I am so blessed to have connections with all of these amazing sisters in Christ.

While we have all grown and done our own thing, we have supported each other and come alongside each other throughout it all.

I have lived life with so many of them and shared some intense heart to hearts with a handful.

These ladies are some of the most amazing people I have met at college!

Sometimes I wish I could go back and relive some of the crazy, silly moments just because.

Yet at the same time I look forward to all of the wonderful memories we will make in the future!

God brought us all together for a reason and while I do not know in whole what that is, I have seen Him in so many of my interactions with these ladies.

Many of them have had a huge impact on my walk with God, most in very positive ways!

I could not have asked for a better group of Christ following sisters to share my college years & many beyond with.

They are a blessing to me on a daily basis and I thank God for them daily!!
