I Love Them Because....

This is very much a journaling post, it is kind of the ending story of the date that I blogged about a few weeks ago, I figured I would post the ending so that I didn't leave you hanging.

First of all though, I would like to say this. I have been pretty lucky with the whole roommate business for most of my college career. There have been a few interesting ones, but overall, I can't complain, a few of them have become some of my best friends. Right now, it's no exception. My roommates are so great and these are some of the reasons why we love each other:

• We each take turns making dinner every night for each other
• We have roommate prayers pretty much every night
• We have back massage trains
• We eat lots of ice cream
• We distract each other from homework frequently
• We remind each other to do homework frequently
• We talk about life and lessons learned
• We laugh a lot
• We go out and do fun things together sometimes spontaneously
• We play MASH at 12:30 in the morning on the vanity floor (this was only once, but it was priceless)
• We sing and play the piano together
• And many many more :D

Kristen, Katherine (k-dub), Me, Andrea

We all freaked because we were excited that Andrea moved her wedding date up, we gave advice to Kristen on how to jump back into the dating pool, and tonight when I came home from talking with the boy this is what happened. Andrea and K-Dub were both on the phone so I just walked into my room. Kristen followed me, took one look at my face and wrapped me up in her arms. I'm pretty sure she started crying before I even did. She asked if I wanted her to get the others but we decided to let them finish their conversations. K-Dub walked in after and instantly gave me a bear hug. Andrea walked in shortly after and did the same thing. I am not one to let people see me cry. Ever. Period. But tonight I didn't fight it. It was so nice to have people here to hold me when I got a little crushed. We all sat on the beds and I told them what happened. I don't understand people who are scared of commitment. I mean I know it can be scary, but where faith is, fear can't be. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith, you might fall and get hurt, but if you are living the way you are supposed to, then everything will work out as it should.

My roommates of course said all the right things to say when a boy decides that he has changed his mind about wanting to date you. As much as I don't understand what is going through this boy's head, I do understand that I have roommates and family that love me and that I love right back, as well as a Heavenly Father that loves me. One day, somebody will see me the same way these people do, and he will embrace it and hold onto it forever.
