When Margie visited McDaniel she kept making comments about how much people love me there. I laughed it off, because we love everybody! That's what family does. But tonight, I just felt it. I was surrounded by it. I feel this incredible, undeniable connection to these people. The way they light up when they see I'm in the greenroom. Or the beautiful, heartwarming compliments I get all the time. Wow the things people said to me today. The warmth that they showed me. It is a feeling I can't describe. And I'm blessed. I'm so so so very blessed. God put these people and this family in my life for a reason. If I, somehow, was able to touch these many people's lives, I'm doing something right.

I don't know what's going on in my life. I don't know when I'm going to feel 100% okay again. I don't know what my next steps should be. But I know I have an abundance of love in my life. With God and with the angels He has sent me, I can do absolutely anything.

My Wonderwall

SO. A birthday post. After people were wonderful and said happy birthday to me and all that. The girls got me. The best gift. In the world. So it was 3 parts. Part 1 was a beanie baby teddy bear with its hands folded in prayer called Hope. And he had a little poem to introduce himself as my new prayer buddy. Part 2 was an itty bitty precious moments figure. She had brown hair and a gorgeous white dress with blue buttons, a blue sash, and a blue rounded collar. She held a blue rose with a turquoise stone inside. Part 3 was a charm bracelet with little angels on it and a heart that says "Guardian Angel Protect Me". Needless to say, I cried a little. It was LITERALLY. Perfect. I'm still emotional about it.

And the day after my birthday, I enjoyed a DELICIOUS dinner with my Mommy and sister and niece at Olive Garden. Twas delish. And while there, we overheard a guy who sang kinda like Frank Sinatra on the speakers, but the lyrics were from Black Hole Sun! Turns out singer Paul Anka has an album called Rock Swings where he covers all these rock songs, like Smells Like Teen Spirit. So far this is my fav

Astronomy

As much as I complain about having a night class. Can we please just note how awesome it is? I take astronomy at night. Like, I walk out of class and the first thing I see is the moon, shining bright and beautiful. And we even have star and comet viewings scheduled as part of our labs. Ugh. It's so perfect.

Speaking of stars. I never showed you what I painted at Color Me Mine!

 

It's a little box for my jewelery. I'm pretty happy with it :)
