gt week 1

well, i'm here! this week has been pretty quiet. my roommates still haven't moved in, and all i've had are short orientations. now that those are over, i'm just waiting for classes to start and things to pick up. i have used these past few slow days to figure out campus, or at least what's important to me, such as the student center, the gym, my classes, and of course, my dorm. i also accidentally found the football stadium, so that's useful as well :) oh, and i discovered skype. i now have the luxury of taking webcam photos like all the cool kids:

i'm missing my husband, pup, family, church family, and friends very much already, but i know that this is where i am supposed to be right now. as much as i miss home, i'm looking forward to an incredible year.

fast approaching

my year at georgia tech begins in less than a week. i have an incredible peace about being apart from jared.  i truly believe that this will be a year of growth in our marriage.  i'm not necessarily excited about being apart, but i am thrilled to strengthen our marriage and my faith.  classes are going to be tough i'm sure, but i'm so ready for the challenge. this coming year is going to be eye opening and a huge year of positive change for me in every area of my life.
