last week marked the halfway point and was followed by the gloriousness that is fall break. the last two weeks have been fantabulous. from spending a weekend full of star gazing and hiking with my bestest to spending fall break at disney world with the family. i could gush about how happy disney world makes me, about how great it is to see the beautiful families and how excited and happy everyone is. about the awe that surrounds the entire place. so fabulous and i am so looking forward to one day taking my own family there.

eight weeks away from graduation and i still have no idea what i'm going to do. right now though, i am satisfied thanks to a stomach full of chinese food and a night spent laughing with two of my favorites. life is on the right track for now and things are going just swell.

the times they are a-changin'

"and he said times, they gotta change,
but so do we

when i woke i was alive in somebody's room
i felt life and love and hope infested my bones

wake up you've got a lot of things to do
wake up the sun is rising without you"

--"quiet as a mouse," margot & the nuclear so and so's



the last few days have been a whirl of emotions and thoughts. except for friday night, my weekend turned out to be nothing like what i expected.

saturday night was spent in a planning meeting that brought together youth from the three 'a' clusters in georgia. actions are being taken to bring together the youth and to push us into the forefront of the faith. this feels so right and i am so glad to be a part of this. we met again last night. i had forgotten how beautiful it was to pray with other young souls and to speak of Baha'u'llah.

sunday night was spent at emory in a room of strangers, listening to andy grammer. i was reminded of the first time i heard andy sing: in martha root hall, in a room full of people that i didn't know, but that just a few years later would play so instrumental a role in my life.

i can feel the winds of change. both within myself and the way i think, and within the outisde community. it's all moving towards better. and there is so much to be excited for.
