loved catching up and laughing with my leah friend.
made chocolate cookies at 11pm, trying to live up the last 7 hours at home.

so after 9 full days at home + 1 in STL, i head back to bloomington in the morning.
i loved spending this past week and a half with family & friends who are like family.
i've been reminded of how much the littlest things matter...
and i feel so grateful for where i am & who i get to live life with.
i feel so blessed.
