HOWDY!

Howdy! from College Station, Texas: home of AGGIELAND :) [yes, I am out of routine in "howdy" being the standard greeting!]

Oh my, it's so good to be back! I met my roommate Rachel this morning when I got to College Station, and she is AWESOME. Geesh, God definitely knew what He was doing last semester in the whole roommate debacle. I went with Rachel and Caty (one of her friends who lives in our dorm) to go pick up textbooks this morning, and then got to meet my Impact BG from last year for froyo. At this time last year, we all met at Yogurtland for yogurt because I had never had froyo before -- this year we were reuniting at the same spot! So much fun!!

I then came back around 3:30 and hung out in my room and finished some finishing touches on my room. I was able to write a letter to one of my campers who had wrote me a letter last week that was waiting for me in my mailbox today at school. I also went through and looked at syllabus' and realized just how rare free weekends are going to be this semester. From now until finals I only have 5 weekends right now that don't have anything on my calendar. Uh... what?! Yeah. It's going to be crazy!

Tonight I had dinner with Katie, one of my bestest friends in College Station who I play water polo with.  We sat at McAlister's for over 2 hours catching up on each others lives. Gosh I've missed that girl! She told me all about the 10 weeks she spent in Tunisia, Africa, and I was able to tell her all about Cho-Yeh! It was such a sweet time with her, and I'm so glad she is back in my life on a regular basis!

Rachel and I got back around the same time tonight, and spent a good two hours just talking. We shared several camp stories (she works at a different camp), and it was so great to be able to share that passion with her! Rachel and Caty just left to go explore the other side of campus and then utilize the "Call the Corp" service on campus, and I'm about ready to turn in for the day.

I have LOVED being back in Aggieland!! God is SO good :)
