Rhyme and Reason
I am coming to the conclusion that my reason for needing to be in North Carolina, and Chapel Hill specifically and Apt. H-12 to be even more specific, is because I am growing up. We are all growing up actually and I'm enjoying basking in my new found love of my womanhood. I love that all my friends...meaning Megan and Elisabeth...are girls.
Admittedly growing up may involve alot more alcohol than I had originally thought. I'm okay with that.
I came home last night from a six hour drive...it was 3:30am and I stumbled into the kitchen for something to drink before heading off to bed...I reached for the orange juice only to notice that somebody had already poured a glass and just not finished it....splendid. One nice big thirsty gulp proved that either the orange juice was so old it had fermented or my roommates had been misbehaving while I was gone. I went to bed orange juiceless.
But I digress....
What I was really desiring to convey in this blog is that I am truly beginning to grasp the perfection of God's timing in my life. This was my last opportunity to reconnect with Elisabeth in this stage of our lives and lay the foundation for a friendship that will last the rest of my life, and He also knew just how much I needed her and a roommate like Megan to make me comfortable with myself and all my incompetent ridiculousness. We burst into tears and get eaten by posters and scream with laughter until we can't see, eat like crazy and constantly affirm eachother and express our mutual adoration and devotion. This is life and friendship and fun in it's purest sense and I really needed that as I make the transition into adulthood and all the real world that comes with that. I love them both with all my heart and I can't wait to travel with them into the next stages of our crazy lives.

Oh Elizabeth...we all came to grips with your "incompetent ridiculousness" long ago ;-). And what's all this about growing up..booooooo. I think I'll stick to not...hmm, that sounds "irresponsible"...(i'm ok w/ that, but for the sake of argument...) i'll call it "chaning the social dynamic and definition of "growing up"...a revolution, if you will.
and it's all Shawn's fault!!! haha.
