Well the year is REALLY ending now.
Tomorrow is my last day of regular classes, thursday is dead day, and my finals start next week: two on monday, one on tuesday, and the last one on wednesday.
So next thursday I'll be packing up the sunfire and leaving Auburn and all my friends for three whole months.
Weird.

My grandma that lives in Alabama is having surgery next week though so I won't actually be coming back to texas till the following sunday. Mom is flying out to be with her and then the two of us will roadtrip back home together.

People say it all the time so I recognize that this phrase has kind of lost its effect but this year really did FLY by. I can't get over it. And I only have three more of these...

I'm old.

My sister is old. She's turning 13 the week I come home. THIRTEEN! Are you kidding me?

And ill be 20 next time my birthday rolls around. That is unreal.

Times goes by WAY too fast sometimes. I'm not sure that I like it.

I can't get over how quickly this school year is ending. Not seeing my Auburn friends for almost three months makes me want to cry. A lot.
But, I am so unbelievably excited to have quality time to spend with my family that isn't rushed and stressful. And I'm SO FREAKING excited for Pine Cove!!

Last week was pretty insane. I had a major test in a bio, a spanish interview, and my 12-page research/term paper due. But this week is much more relaxed so I can actually start packing. I don't know how they expect us to study for and take all our finals in the same few days that we are supposed to move out. So I need to get started early.

It's just weird. I've lived in Auburn this whole year and I can't believe I am leaving it for so long. I will most definitely be ready to come back when school starts again in the fall. Then, I will be living with all of my pledge class in the brand new auburn apartments, and I will have my own room, and I won't be a freshman anymore, and I'll get to come back to all the high schoolers I've met through younglife, and meet even more, and go to more football games...and it will be AMAZING.

But first, summer, family time, and CAMP! =] YAYYYY.

Three weeks from tomorrow I'll be back in Texas?!?
As in, it will summer vacation.
As in, my first year of college will be over.
WHAT?!
I'm not okay with this.

Dear College,
Please slow WAY down. I never want to leave you.
Love Always,
Bailey

Come close,
Listen to the story
About a love more faithful
Than the morning
The Father gave
His only Son
Just to save us


The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt
The Father's broken heart
Tears were filling heaven's eyes
The day the true love died,
The day the true love died.
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move
Came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day the true love died,
The day the true love died

Search your hearts
You know you can't deny it
C'mon Lose your life
Just so you can find it
The Father gave
His only Son
Just to save us


Jesus is alive Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive He is alive
He rose again!


When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move
Came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day the true love died,
The day the true love died

Come close listen to the story
