8. Family Vacation

On Monday I remember saying, "I hope this week goes by fast." Well wisher got her wish. It was a blur. I am now a KT active! I got some class work done and I had a fun week too!
On Monday night, one of my best friends that goes to Ole Miss called me and said I wasn't allowed to go to sleep tonight. I had no idea what she meant, I went about doing everything I needed to do, and at about midnight I called her and told her I thought this was ridiculous. I was tired and I didn't want to play her games. She begged me to wait a few minutes longer. So I walked outside, like she asked in the freezing cold. All of the sudden I see her car coming into the dorm parking lot. She had drove all the way from Oxford to see me! She said she knew this week was going to be hard on me and wanted to show me I was loved. I have never been so happy/surprised in my life.
I have the best friends in the world. When people ask me what I dislike most, my new answer is distance. I hate that we are all so separated. In school, my group of friends referred to each other as the "family." There is about ten of us, we have been through thick and thin together. Its hard to be so spread out, we stretch out over three states now. I get to see at least one member of our family every weekend. And this weekend we are all meeting up at Ole Miss! I am so excited to see them.
I guess by this blog, I want to encourage you to find your friends. Find the people that love you for you. That treat you like family, they may not always say what you want to hear, but at the end of the day, your relationships are all you have. I am the luckiest girl in the world. In a few hours they will be here to pick me up, and even though I can't be with them daily; I feel their love every day.
