Dancing in the street in a place that feels like home...

So this post is dedicated to my Gardner-Webb Girls...

These girls in this picture are the one's I spent most of my weekend with and what a great weekend it was so much fun.they all put smiles on my faces and are like my little sisters and some of my best friends. We did lots of fun things this weekend one of them having to do with the the title of my blog today.

Just to mention a few: we hung out, chatted for hours, watched the movie "The Holiday", made puppy chow and dinner, we went to cookout twice, jammed out to music in the car and in the dorm, we danced in the street to Lady Gaga at one a.m., we worshiped at church, went to walmart, went shopping at the outlets, and we bought and traded silly bands (I know we are all in our 20's so it's a little funny).

The weekend for me was not only a reminder of why my college years were so awesome, but also what great friends I made and still have here it was very theraputic for my soul. I love these girls with all my heart and soul. If I was having a bad day or needed to talk then they were there to brighten my smile and listen to what I had to say, and vice versa I have tried to do that for them as well. 


It was great being back this weekend as the last post said in a place where my heart feels at home, but also it was a little weird. After living in Greensboro for the last four and half months it's as a friend said you feel as if you have one foot in one place and the other one in another. Being back on campus was a weird feeling because I felt like I had left my heart in Boiling Springs but yet it's here to in Greensboro too. It feels though now that I am back home that once again I have left my heart there. It was just different going back to visit now that I have graduated. I still have that feeling of not knowing where I belong or where I am ment to be. Being there with those girls I don't feel that as much as I do when I am here, but who knows why I feel that way when I am on that campus or around them. Maybe I just feel more at home there, but I also have learned more about myself from my college years at Gardner-Webb. I learned to love my body more to be happy with who I am no matter what people tell me. I also learned through an experience I had at GWU that I shouldn't beat my own self up and that by doing that I was breaking my own heart in the long run. From that experince I learned to love myself more than to worry about the past, and that hopefully that will help me in the future. The lessons I gained from my years there are worth there wait in gold to me everyday. The weekend was a great one over all and I end it with a the dedication I started with at the beginning of the post.

To my Gardner-Webb Girls: may you know how wonderful and beautiful you are inside and out,may you know how much you make me smile and how much you make my heart proud to be your friend, may you know how strong you are and how that show's me I can be strong.may you know that the love you show me allows me to love people more in return. I treasure your friendship and I love you girls!
