Welcome back!

I took a summer hiatus on my blog. And it seems appropriate to begin the blog again as I am back at Purdue. Yes, you read that correctly. I am back at school! RA training starts in less than 2 hours and I am starting to get that weird feeling in my stomach that comes anytime new, exciting things are about to happen or I've eaten too much chocolate :)

Yesterday my family graciously came down with me and labored in the heat to get my room all put together. Everything is about in its right place and it looks  great! I have never lived in a traditional residence hall (*dorm) so it is a new experience! The communal showers might take a little bit of getting used to it but its kind of like being back at summer camp when I was a kid (which, I only went twice and one of those times I didn't last very long...)

It is hard to believe that I am going to be a junior this year. The last two years at Purdue have flown by. I have learned a lot and made new friends. I know that there is a lot more to learn and new ways to grow. I want to make this year one that counts. One that impacts lives in a positive way. I want to grow out of my complacent spirituality and learn how to be a stronger Christian. And lastly but surely not least, I want to start to figure out where my life is headed after graduation. A tall order, but I think it is definitely doable.
