One down...

Wow! Talk about time flying! Kyra came home this week after completing her freshman year of college! It truly seems like just last month, in a downpour, we moved her into her dorm room for the first time and now, again in falling rain, she’s moved out and home for the summer. She commented that the weather was appropriate both times. When she moved in, she was apprehensive about the new experience and sad to be leaving home for the first time. Tuesday, she was sad about leaving behind good friends and good memories from a year that couldn’t have been better for her. Sure, she had some bumps along the way but she handled them extremely well and brings with her mostly good memories of a year well spent learning so much about herself and growing into an even sweeter, faith-filled young woman than when she left. I really am in awe of her. She’s someone I aspire to be like. I don’t know where she came from. Haha And, of course, I want only the best for her. She found the perfect place when she chose Eastern. And, though I tease her everytime she’s home about transferring to Millersville, I know she belongs nowhere but Eastern. The experiences she’s had (and the ones to come in the next 3 years) and the friends she’s met (and will meet) could never be duplicated somewhere else. Thank you, God, for leading her to exactly where she needs to be. :)
