This past week and a half has been filled with excitement and adventure and friendship and much, much more. I finished up with my Sophomore year last Thursday, moved into the house and got most everything settled in, and Dad graduated from Mississippi State with a second Master's degree.

I am absolutely ecstatic that I don't have to go to any classes for a while, but the end of school years are always so bittersweet. I don't guess I really realized that I didn't meet very many people last year until now, because last summer it was easy to leave Starkville. This year I have met so many amazing people and made so many friends. I'm very sad about not seeing most of them until August. I still get to spend a few more days at the house since we're still working on situating everything and getting what we need, but leaving here in a couple of days won't be easy and it won't be fun.

However, this has made me realize how blessed I am to have all of these people in my life and how important these people are to me. I've been thinking a lot lately about how lucky I am to have so many people who care about me. I've always known that people like my parents cared about me and provided for me, but for some reason I haven't realized until recently just how much they provide for me and love me. It's been a very humbling realization, because it also reminds me of how much God has provided for me throughout the entirety of my life, even if I've chosen to think otherwise at times.

Here is today's video, though. If you haven't seen Fantastic Mr. Fox, I highly recommend it. I laugh more than I don't laugh. It also has an amazing cast...George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Owen Wilson, and even Mario Batali! I've watched it literally about 10 times since it's come out on video. I also own it if you'd like to borrow it.
