It is time, I think, to continue the saga of my life. Saga might not be the best word...Play by play is better.

I have spent the last week back and forth between my two homes: Mom & Dad's house and Auburn, the place where my heart truly lies. It is difficult to explain to non-Auburnites the feeling of home that comes with being a tiger. Classes are bearable because when they are over, you get to walk outside among smiling faces and colorful leaves. The food tastes better here, because you get to eat it with dear friends. The sun shines brighter and the sunsets are more brilliant here that in any other place. People say hello as if they have been your neighbor for 50 years. Life in Auburn adds a new joy to life each morning; it makes leaving hard to do. Maybe this is why I find myself spending the night 5 times in a row when I only came to stay 24 hours. I'm addicted.

I got to go to church this morning for the first time in 13 weeks. It was refreshing.
I ate lunch with a handful of Japanese students who are about to make the long journey back to Tokyo after spending 6 months in Auburn as exchange students. They are amazing individuals who have come to know the Lord as someone who cares about them and many of them now call Him Savior. It has been a privilege to watch their lives unfold. They have touched my life far more than I have touched theirs, for sure. They will not be forgotten.

I think that's all for tonight. Nothing brilliant or insightful. Just the simple ramblings of a girl who's happy to be home once again.
