The Civil Wars.

The Barton Hollow CD comes out at midnight...to say I'm excited would be an extreme understatement :D
I was supposed to go to their show here on the 9th...but the tickets sold out the day before I could buy mine. Boo.

Anywho - my birthday is on the 11th.
Not sure what to do to celebrate...I'm thinking Amelie's.
Suggestions?


(Sorry for the complete lameness of my blog postings recently.)

Dream Searching.

Today, I was accepted to my first choice college, Oral Roberts University.
Many random happy dances have been happening since about 4 pm this afternoon :)

However, being accepted to ORU has been my number one dream for quite a while. Now that it's come true, I realize that I don't really have a dream or a plan. I'm quite content with life at the moment...but I'm finding that I need to dream some new dreams!

Let the adventures...begin. :)

Much love.

The Broken Record.

I'm pretty sure I should have named my blog "The Broken Record". Because honestly, I mostly post about how I can't believe how fast life is changing.

Although I'm excited about these changes, it hit me just a moment ago that I'm going to miss my life here.

*a silence falls over the hypothetical crowd*

Yes, I'm definitely ready to begin a new chapter, but it's hard to think that I will actually be gone in 134 days. Also, when I embark on this grand adventure, life here doesn't stop. I learned this when I visited Texas last year. Everyone back home is suddenly taller than me and has grown up so much. It was very much like visiting an alternate reality. Everything seems pretty much the same - except for little changes.

What scares me is the fact that things here will be different whenever I visit. The way that my schedule is looking at the moment, the only time I'll be coming back to North Carolina will be in December for my winter breaks. Everyone and everything I know will be one year older every time I visit. That thought is kind of hard to latch onto.

However, this whole experience will definitely be an adventure...and I'm ready for it to begin...but it may be tougher to leave than I had originally thought.
