It's been wonderful to just de-stress these last few days. I'm officially all moved out of my dorm as of Tuesday evening and mostly all unpacked at home as of yesterday morning. (There's still a box or two to go through and organize.) Move out was crazy. My roommate and I decided to stay up for our last 24 hours on campus and we were able to …

A few of my friends from high school and I were lucky enough to be invited to our teacher's wedding, downtown, this weekend. One thing that really stood out to me during the sermon was the phrase: "Love is not a feeling, it is a verb."I thought this was very profound as well as being a wonderful reminder that relationships require effort.
