grown up slump

I've been struggling with what I was going to blog about next. Usually this stuff just kinda pops in my mind and then I start writing. But today is different.

For those of you who may not know, I moved to Little Rock in the middle of August. I started working at the Church at Rock Creek on the 23rd (of August). I absolutely love living here and working here. But of course, life isn't perfect. The only thing I have a complaint about is living alone. This problem is being fixed in December, when my best friend Kate is moving in with me. And thankfully I have family all within a 2-hour driving distance. But the people I really miss are my best friends. I think that has been my problem today - I miss them so much I can't think straight! I'm in a grown up slump.. and I'm only 22?

Seeing that a girl can't go very far in life without friends, this post is dedicated to my very best friends. I'm not going to sit here and list out names because honestly, we're not in 7th grade. If you are my best friend, you know it :)

I could go on and on about all of the amazing memories I have shared with these people in my life.. but I think actions speak louder than words. Therefore, these following pictures are some of my favorite moments in life with my absolute favorite people in life :)

Just warning you - there are a LOT of pictures. But I've had many great memories in my life!
