As of the seventeenth of December, I am no longer a resident of Louisville, Kentucky. Academically, I have finished college. No more scantrons, no more product IDs, and no more Kentucky. I'll be brutally honest when I say, "Thank God." I have been dying to move home since I moved away last fall. Then again, now that I am gone, it seems a little sad, a little lonely in a way. I miss my old room, my kittens, my routine, and my freedom. Instead of that, I gained my dog, my family, my safe home, my best friends, and someone a little more special.
After six months of bad cell reception, grainy Skype quality, poorly timed text messages, and overall not niceties, I got this man back. It's not been an easy six months, between his overwhelming work load in the Marines, my stress over school and internship, and a three hour time difference, things with us have seemed to fall the wayside. We spent his birthday, our one year anniversary, and Thanksgiving over two thousand miles apart.
All sadness aside, I now have him back for the remainder of the holiday season and then will regretfully have to hand him back over. Until then, look at some happy pictures from this break and my happy friends and family.
I was able to go Christmas tree hunting with AJ and his family. Erika brought along her boyfriend, Keegan, and they are the dictionary definition of a handsome couple. So obviously there were photos snapped.
This family means so much to me. They have become my Holland family, and my two best friends belong to it. The Wells have made me feel so welcome, they have given me support, wise words, coffee in the morning, and reason to smile!
To say that I am just excited to be back with this girl, is the understatement of the century. I am a happy girl, back in my home state, ready to see what God has to throw at me, and I know there will be a lot.
Stay tuned and have a great New Years!
Any photos you see of me here are from my beautiful friend Erika! See past post and her blog here!
