She didn't come there looking for love, and the cool thing was neither did I...

So tonight's my last night here in OH. My mom and I leave bright and early tomorrow to come home. And while I'm looking forward to the beach, Dale, and all my friends, my leaving is still sooooo bittersweet. I've made such amazing friends here, and I hate having to leave them. Sami, Mary, Joe, and Luke. I wish they were coming home with me. It's funny cuz just about anytime I would mention going home, Joe would look at me and say, "So when are you moving out here?" They really are four of the best people I've met. And I'm so glad to have met them, because the way they live their lives is such an example to me. Having so few truly Christian friends at home is hard for me, so it's been amazing to be surrounded by Christians who truly live their lives for God. And they've shown me how I can still be my own person, but still let God use me the way I was meant to be used.

So as glad as I am to be coming home (I already have plans for Panera with Jon as soon as I get back) I am going to miss my new friends out here sooooo much. But we're gonna keep in touch, obviously. And I'm planning on coming out for Sami's birthday in October, since it's near our long Columbus Day weekend. I do kinda wish I could stay until the 22nd tho, cuz Joe's birthday is on the 21st, and I already know what I want to get him. I guess I'll be paying for shipping. Oh well.

So I'll see you guys soon. Love you all.

Adios.
