Having.

As my days continue in Auburn I catch myself wanting to be in Dallas so badly. I feel like I haven't been home in ages. (And then I realize that I haven't.) And, as most people do, when I start to harp on one thing, I suddenly can think of 800 things that I don't have or that I'm missing out on...

being home for the Mavs epic win against the Heat

watching the summer premiere of Pretty Little Liars with some of my oldest and dearest friends

a job to keep me occupied

time

money

sleep

"enough" clothes

my family in arms reach

Northpark mall 

home cooked meals

But then out of the blue, something as little as a "good luck on your test" text message or a spontaneous lunch date snaps me back to reality. And I realize that yes, I am missing out on things back home. And yes, my cash flow is more of a drip these days...but for all of the things I'm "missing" I have twice as many blessings ever so present right in front of me. 

So here's to focusing on what I do have: 

bragging rights on campus over the Mavs epic win

watching the summer premiere of Pretty Little Liars with a new crowd 

(but not for long Erin don't worry)

school: to one day get a job to fill my time

time: to spend with my beautiful friends

a closet full of clothes

my Auburn family. cheesy but incomparable. 

my friends' closets when mine is feeling bare

(the best kind of malls!)

a kitchen, to teach myself to make my own home cooked meals

 knowledge: to allow me to realize what I have and what is waiting for me when I get home :) 

How do I ever leave them? You tell me. 

she's fabulous. 

duh. she makes so many appearances on this thing...

she might kill me for this...but add in a LOT of food and turn on the Bravo network...
 this about sums up our relationship. 

Make the time where you are worth your while. Live and LOVE every minute of it. 

This was a cheesy one...but sometimes that's just what we need. 

Xx,

Lo.
