My Mom :) October 2, 2008

This is a picture of me and my mom, from one of my visits to NMU last winter. My mom has supported me through the whole college process, and my whole life. I am the first of all my family members to go to college, so my mom couldn’t be more proud. My mom is my best friend, since it is only her and me at home. I know being so far away has been a huge challenge for both of us. I talk to her almost everyday. It is so hard after seeing her everyday for eighteen years, and then moving eight hours away. I know that when I do see her again, that the time will mean a lot more to both of us!

My love September 25, 2008

 

My image this week is a picture of my boyfriend, Matt, and I. Being up here and so far away from him has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. We have been dating for a little over two years, so not only is he my boyfriend, but he is my best friend. I think that the distance has made our relationship stronger. We really cherish the time we do have together, and when we see each other we don’t take it for granted. :]

My World. September 18, 2008

This picture is of my sister, Rachel, and I. She is my miracle, my inspiration, and my world. Although there are thirteen years separating us, we have an unbelievable relationship that most siblings have never shared. I have learned so much from her, as I’m sure she has from me. Since I have been up at Northern, I have missed her first day of Kindergarten. Although I wasn’t there in person, I go with her in everything she does. I would do anything for my sister. I miss her so much and I cannot wait to see her again.

Northern Lights September 11, 2008

I could not be happier living in such a beautiful place. I found this picture on google images, by just searching for Marquette, Michigan. Since moving up here, I have fallen in love. This area is so exquisite and peaceful. I hope to see the Northern Lights someday. It looks so surreal. There are so many breathtaking views on the trails at Presque Isle, that make it seem like nothing else matters. In the life of a stressed college student, that is a wonderful resource to have to find an escape from the pressures of life.
