this post is coming from my brand new bedroom on the campus of Auburn University...woohoo! today is the beginning of a massive life change, one that will come with new friends, different classes, and happy lessons learned (probably some not so happy ones too, but I'm prepared for that).
this past weekend has been a strange one, knowing that it would be my last as a live-at-homer. time flew by at some points, and it mercifully slowed down at others. Friday, I met some friends- my very best math friends- at the high school to deliver a gift to our precious, brilliant, hilarious teacher. It felt fitting in a way, like we were closing out those remarkable four years as an incredibly close group. But, as of next week, all five of us will be in Auburn, so hopefully there will be some reunion lunches! Friday night, the Johnson fam at pizza on our quilt in the den, as is tradition. It wasn't that much different than any other Friday night for us, but it felt perfect. We watched tv, told stories that made me cry with laughter, and spent all night on the couches. Saturday was spent packing, finishing the basement painting we've been working on all summer, and then, finally, frozen yogurt for dinner. yesssss.
And then came today. Moving Day. Sunday (although it didn't feel like one). We left home at 5:30 AM- not always the best way to start the day, but it was really okay! spent all day organizing, moving, and trying to make a gallon's worth of clutter fit into a quart sized pitcher.... It's still a work in progress for sure.
So this weekend has been one of changes, love, and new roommates. For now, I'm completely content where I am: under my fabulous anthro quilt, watching espn in bed for the first time EVER, and being thankful for all of these opportunities, and the ones that are yet to come.
