Dancing Through Life

I have a few friends who have blogs on this website. I have found that I really enjoy keeping up with their lives this way and due to my very large family, thought that this would be a good way to maintain communication for me as well.
I have 18 days left here at Virginia Tech. I am so excited to finally graduate and move back home to good ol' Mechanicsville. Don't get me wrong, I do like some things about being in Blacksburg. But in all honesty, my heart and happiness are in Mechanicsville.
I do believe this 2 year experience, 300+ miles away from my family, Gill and friends has helped me learn to rely more on myself. I am more self sufficient and independent, which when reevaluating myself in earlier times, was greatly needed.I love that I have gained so much hands-on experience with large animals, especially beef cattle.
I do love my close friends that I have made here as well, Lindsey, Drew, Sam, Jana, Jen, Whitney, Chris, Marit, Amanda and Jason have been essential in me maintaining some degree of sanity here. But... I am ready to go. I miss Gill. I miss our dog. I miss seeing my Daddy whenever I want. I miss hanging out and running errands with my Step-Mom. I miss my sorority sisters who I haven't seen in over 2 years! [That is so sad for me to acknowledge that I have let it go that long without seeing them] I can't wait to not have to have the 'Sad Sunday' ritual that has become so common with Gill, my family and myself. And I absolutely can NOT wait to get rid of the 3.5 hour drive on the weekends! I really dislike that drive!! Thankfully, I only have one more - and this time its a one-way ticket to Mechanicsville!!For now, I have the fun world of finals and job-searching that is occupying my life. I have come so far, and I am now close to being done. This is an indescribable feeling of happiness that I am feeling!
Here is a pic of my heifer VPI Black Princess - the kindest, most gentle heifer I have ever met! She always knows how to make me smile and put me in a great mood.
