wow. this has been an amazing year. i can't begin to describe how much i have grown and how much i have learned. i have amazing friends and a joyful heart. my plans for next year are in place and financially, i am looking pretty good. so, what else is there to say?
going home will be difficult. i have to admit that i'm not too keen on the idea of being home. it's like being excited and unsure all at the same time. i want to go home, but i'm afraid that i will be a different person there than i am here. i don't know if i am or not. i don't think that i am. perhaps satan is getting the better of me.
it sort of reminds me of yearbook signing...ok, hang in there with me. i was reading some of the comments that people wrote, yeah, i was curious. some comments made me cry. but i tried to think about how much they really know me. not that i am trying to discount what they have siad, but here there is always this sense of closeness, or of really knowing someone, but most of the time you just know the surface, perhaps a bit past the surface. but how much do we really know eachother?
than i was thinking about the people we really know. the ones that we hang out with all of the time and who know us to almost the deepest level. the ones who know who we are, who we are interested in, what our family is like, our dreams, desires, hopes for the future. what are they going to write in our yearbooks? they are the ones that really know us, for who we are right now. what are they going to write in our yearbook?
I guess that does it. =)

so I have a jones cap sitting in my room, since I forgot to give it to you I thought I'd at least tell you what it says:
"Following iner promptings brings quiet accomplishment"
and I ate a peice of fudge for breakfast....
and in response to your post, even if you are a different person at home the things that God taught you here go with you... God is making the beautiful person that you are even more 'something beautiful' so even if you aren't as much of that beautiful person at home, at least you know you won't stay that way since he's always working on you. BUT I have full confidence that your character is strong enough to be stable through all atmospheres because you love God and want to be obdient to Him.
(maybe that's what I would've written in your year book if I had remembered to sign it... maybe you could just write that in for me... ha!)
Turns out you left without saying bye to me. So, here's what we'll do.
Pretend that you are about to leave Caronport and you see me coming and you scream:
"Whatever Dalt!!"
I come over and say (right in your face)
"WHATEVER CRYSTAL!!!!
'I'm leaving now'
'What? Okay.'
A hug occurs here
'All the best at culinary school. Maybe you could cook me a whole cow one of these days'
You laugh.
'I really appreciate your authenticity as a Christian. There are a lot of fakes and flakes out there. You're true to the call of God. Keep it'.
'Thanks Dalt'
Perhaps you give me some word of encouragement here.
'Thanks Crystal'.
'Well, bye now. and UPDATE YOUR BLOG!!!!!'
'HAHA! I will Dalt'
Bye Crystal.

I'll always remember you. Sorry I didn't have a chance to say "bye". I would've have enjoyed a hug and a said, "mrrmrr, good friend Dalt."
