I started my first week of college life last week and am officially LOVING IT!!! Classes are not so VERY hard and life is not so VERY busy, though enough so that I am not able to do everything I want anytime I want. This is my VERY weak excuse for not posting in so long!! = ) Be gracious!!! I am doing my best to keep up with family, VFC, friends, school, and everything else, but I'm afraid I'm failing miserably and this is only my first week!! Hopefully God will give me grace to grow in discipline and discernment!!!! I also apologize for the weird manner that these photos decided to upload!!! I promise I put them on in order!!! Sometimes my dear blogger has a mind of his own!! Anyway, this post is a collage of Laurel's first birthday, vacation, and Daniel and Jessie's fake engagement pictures. Oh, and yes, Laurel DID have two birthdays!! One in Knoxville with all her "friends" and one in Florida on her actual birthday!! Will and Meg and Laurel are now in Florida for the rest of the year and we miss them very much, but it's kind of a blessing because I know I wouldn't get any studying done if Laurel was here!!! Not because she's annoying or loud or anything, but because every time I see her I just have to pick her up and once you pick her up you really CAN't put her down!!! She smiles at you and laughs and says, "Na-Na" and there's no letting her go...I'm surprised they ever got me home after dropping them off!!! = ( Well, I leave the house tomorrow at 7:00am so I'd better go to bed!!!
