a few more tears and a dozen or more boxes later

And so dreamergrrl moves back home. Where spring is happening for a second time, and it is once again tulip season.

The campus has been left behind, and I will never again be a resident in my dorm, never again live with that community of people. I come home to parents and cars, peers that are anywhere from 5 minutes to 8 hours away, and a boyfriend somewhere in between. But here I have some of the same friends, and some old friends, and a church community I adore. I have loving parents, eventually a loving sister, and a ceiling full of October’s stars.

I don’t have much to write, but just wanted to say best wishes as many of you complete your finals, or battle through the last weeks of school. I love you all very much, and I miss every one of you, no matter where you are and where you’re from.
