I can’t even explain how amazing things are going.  I feel so grateful for every opportunity and every amazing best friend and every amazing member of my family and for my education and for my interests and my wonderful Professors and just everything.

I have an internship at a law firm lined up and have successfully secured my first apartment!  I am going to live with one of my very best friends this summer in a beautiful and safe place.  I am going to spend time with Rob and Beth since they are five minutes down the road from the apartment.

I’ve found an amazing friendship with Danny, and I don’t even know if I could dream up a better match for myself.  He’s so open-minded and so smart and funny and so kind to me.  He understands me and we have long talks together about everything.  I simply adore him and love waking up right by his side every morning.  He’s so supportive and he’s even going to live with Danielle and I until he has to leave for Kansas.  Love is just such an amazing feeling.  I can hardly stand it at times.  And he lets me love him all that I want.  I am so thankful for him and for his love.
