*things are still going well...

*i'm getting more and more excited about college. last night one of my favorite guy friends asked me to stay and go to MTSU insted... he said that he really didn't want me to go so i asked him why.. and he told me that he'd miss me... and it nearly broke my heart, but i know that God wants me to go to PCC. there have been too many confermations... (besides the fact that i really don't like MTSU)... but yeah... it's hard. the thing that i hate most is that everything is going to change while i'm gone and i'm not going to be here to experience it all. i'll come back and everything and everyone will be completely different. it also hurts that almost everyone has a negetive oppinion toward Pensacola Christian. i know that they are strict... but if i don't have a problem w/ abiding by their rules i don't understand why everyone else cares about it. they're not going there... i am. i just wish they could be happy that i'm in God's will. i wish that they could be happy that i want to serve God. but there's no pleasing some people. it just hurts when those people are people that i love and respect. it just hurts. but i won't let it stop me. i'll never let it stop me. and it really makes me appreciate the people who do stand behind me. who respect my decision. i'm especially grateful for Amber whose actually excited for me. Amber, you don't know what that means. i feel like you're my cheerleader... and i hope that i can do the same for you and others :) "the Lord gives, and the Lord takes away"

*on a happier note... we bought my pattern for my shrugg to go over my formal... it's going to be cute and we also bought a pattern for my khaki shirt since i can't find one that doesn't stop half way up my thigh. lol. yay! i'm learning to sew! haha.. this should be interesting
