The last spring break

I'm about to leave for my last spring break (as a student anyways). It's a weird feeling. Couldn't it also be that picking up my maroon cap and gown sparked my nostalgia? I nearly broke out in tears when I walked out of the bookstore carrying that thing. Admittedly, what kept me from crying was looking around at all the other people walking to class and not carrying a cap and gown. I didn't really envy them :)

One thing I'll always treasure though from my college experience is the bonds I've made with my roommates. I've been blessed that whatever place served as home, whether it was Hassayampa dorm, lakeside condo, or crummy apartment, it has always been a sanctuary, a place where I could retreat. Spending time with Lindsay, Jen, and Bekah has been so refreshing. Tough day in class? I don't mind doing it all over again after I've baked something tasty and taken crazy pictures with Lin. Frustrating day student teaching? My smile finds its way back to my face after laughing with Jen (and occasionally treating ourselves to shopping). Feeling like I'm all alone in this world? I can count on Bekah to be spontaneous and get out of the apartment. I thank you Lord for answering my prayers to be loved and cared for in such a cool way.
