1st century beauty

I got a chance to talk to my parents today, which is always my favorite part of anyday. There is something exciting about being away from my family and doing the whole "independent" thing, but at the same time more than anything I just want to call my parents every hour to see what they are doing and how they are going. What can I say - we are very close! :)

Tonight 'Youth with a Mission' (Where I work) is holding a passover dinner. We all have to dress up like they would in the Bible times..to celebrate Easter. I'll probably just throw on a sheet...good enough, yeah?

  10. you look GORGEOUS, girl!

    and YAY for other girls who are super close with their parents! :) i am, too, and i feel like that's such a rarity these days... sometimes people just think i'm a little odd for having such a great relationship with my parents. i love it, though, it's great to have such a wonderful support system! :)

  33. Awesome dress and killer belt! I too have a really close relationship with my parents, it's going to be really hard for me to leave them on the East coast... I was thinking about it last night and actually started to tear up a little... I mean its definitely something that needs to happen in my life, but it's difficult! I feel ya!
