Coming back into the city via CTA - brown line over the river: best view ever.
Later summer nights playing volleyball on Oak Street beach.
I was blessed to spend my semester with these amazing women!
Dodeka - my RA small group.
On top of being in Dodeka, the Lord blessed me with a dear friend and sister RA, Tabitha. The Lord knew I needed to know her this semester.
Began my first year as an RA to half of these girls (the right side) 4North - and have LITERALLY loved every minute of it.
I found the importance of waking up early on Saturday to buy fresh berries, flowers, and cheese at the Farmers Market
This is my beloved Ministry Team on 4North - I couldn't have lived this semester without them. I am so overwhelmingly blessed to know these girls.
And then I spent too much time in the library with these books...never regretted a single moment.
Made many a trip to Elly's for much needed fellowship, and pancakes.
Had another beautiful season of watching Fall make its way through Chicago
I had my two favorite parents visit me in Chicago - a perfect vacation.
Had fall break with some of the best goons on earth
#nailedthatcrap #tooeasy #buddies
Found solitude in Michigan with the best floor on earth! 4North!
Enjoyed the first Holiday cups with these girls
Made up classes, like Plaza Observation 3301
and Imaginative Thinking 1101
Ushered in my 21st year like a boss.
Hung out in the Impressionist Wing for hours at the Art Institute - so much we brought it too life.
I spent my thanksgiving hiking a mountain or two, far away from the city.
Had breakfast at Elly's
Held hands at the Zoo so as not to get lost, proceded to take pictures with igloos.
Wore festive pants, with friends, in front of Christmas trees.
Wore ugly sweaters, at Taco restaurants, and sang Karaoke.
Pulled all-nighters during finals week.
Had these girls shape a lot of my character.
I have rewritten the ending paragraph too many times, there is no way to write out the emotions in my heart accurately. I hate open endings, but this one will have to end openly. Because there is another semester, another season, and another lesson I must learn. #praiseHIM
