My graduating class was unprecedentedly large at a whopping thirty five girls, and my time [...]

Gold Rush {part two}

Friday, December 18th, 2009

find part one here
For the past few months I’ve been trying to cope gracefully. I’ve been trying not to let school phase me, to keep blogging in a tidy corner of my life, to hold my own around the house, to be here for Mister, to work, be thankful, see my friends, to listen, and [...]
