Leaving on a Jet Plane

I decided to list a few of the things that I'm going to miss the most when I head for Maryville.

And maybe I'll expand on some. ;)

• Family: Friday nights with mom, inside jokes with sister, movies with Micah, Nick always telling me how he feels like I should still be 8 dancing around in my tutu, and dad and our intellectual convos
• Church: As much as I love Silverdale and love seeing how God is transforming it and the people in it, I'm looking forward to finding somewhere to really call my home-church
• Tyner: I've been a ram since I was in 1st grade and mom had to work the concession stand at football games.That place is dearer to my heart than my actual house. And the staff and kids in it are my second family. Hoping I can come back to student-teach there. T-Phi!
• My bookshelf
• My Shallowford Starbucks and the rest of Chattanooga (where everything is familiar and I don't have to feel stupid cause I don't know where I'm going)
• My seventh graders and the rest of my friends who don't judge me for being a dragon or for correcting you when you quote disney movies wrong or for doing the robot in the middle of the mall.
• My teachers....who have listened to me laugh, cry, answer questions, and give countless contradictory opinions...and they still talk about me (you learn stuff like that when you work in the office)
• Being able to use my sister's car when I want to jump up and hang out with the soccer team
• Having Connections
• My Pink winged back chair (from Grandma) and my industrial style carpet :)

Of course, in the Fall I'm sure you guys will be seeing a brand new list of things I've come to love about living in Maryville, TN.
