Bugaboo

After a little more than a month, I’m finally starting to get back into my routine at Drake.  Recruitment is over, we’re right in the middle of Anchor Splash week, and my Drake life is back in full swing.  I’m trying to make blogging a more consistent part of my routine because I love being able to look back through my posts to see all the things I’ve experienced over the year or semester.

One of the things I miss most when I’m at Drake is this girl. 

I miss being there for all of her tennis and senior memories this fall, but I am thankful that I got to Skype with her before homecoming this past Saturday.  She’s such a beautiful seventeen-year-old in so many ways and I miss that presence in my day-to-day activities. 

It’s weird to think that I used to spend so much of my life with her and she’s a big part of some of my favorite memories.  Camping in the back yard, dancing to ATeens in my room, watching movies on the way to grandma and grandpa’s, going to Young Life together on Monday nights, riding to school together every morning,  and just being sisters and friends all the time.  I miss her incredibly, but at the same time, I'm thankful that in our time apart, I'm realizing how much I value our relationship and never want to let that go.

Love you bugaboo.
