dont stop believing.

tonight the girls of 515 went to dinner @ chiefs wings & firewater for its opening night. all 4 of us... reunited... for the first time in months. we even did a toast. we are so nerdy & we like it just that way. then i told the girls about the change that was to come in the next 2 weeks.

i have decided to move out of 515. its a new beginning. a new start. 515 is the last piece of the past that is with me. i never thought i would see the day where i would willingly choose to move out of the place that i have lived for over 2 years... the place i have come to love. the girls who are my sisters and best friends. lately i have learned that when God tells you to do something, you trust Him and you do it. so here i go. growing up. moving on. packing boxes. this is the end of a chapter, but the beginning of a new and beautiful one. it is time for me to be set completely free of my past.... for me to set them free of it as well. i wouldnt have made it without them. but they deserve to live without that now. i am so grateful for their love & devition. it amazes me still.

ramber, yosh, & kate were so encouraging & supportive & understanding of my decision. such a blessing. i was terrified to tell them. to move. to leave familiarity & comfort behind. i felt like i was changing and they werent... oh how i was wrong. we are actually all moving out in a way. katie is moving out of our room & into jess & amber's room... they will now reside in mine & kate's old room... "the hang out spot" as they refer to it as ;)

so the story goes. ill be only 2 minutes down the road. i will always be the 4th member of 515... it is not the walls or an address that binds us together & identifies us as 515.. it is the girls who made the house a home. they will forever be my housemates.. katie will forever by roomie.. and i will still be in the christmas card (even if i have to pay "the fine" ;)

we spent the beginning of the end.... dressing up like the spice girls & making a new video on my mac. it's on facebook. go watch it. laugh. make fun of us. you will see 4 girls who love each other more than you can fathom... having the time of their life. loving every second of it. and savoring it as if it were the last. that is love.

i am so blessed. God is good. peace out.


it is one of the blessings with old friends that you can be stupid with them. -ralph waldo emerson
