and there was life

for the past 2.3 months i have lived alone. it's been a great growing time for me to gain independence, figure out my idiosyncrasies ... rest in the Lord and really ... grow up in a lot of ways. But there's always this feeling of emptiness when i got home every day. this feeling that there was nothing there, no one there.

I am thrilled beyond description to live with a friend. an unexpected friend i met almost 3 years ago! joanna cuamba is so full of life and energy. there is no way my once lonely, silent apartment will be the same. watch out world, joanna and hailey are officially roommates. officially sharing life moment by moment, month by month.

it's be new and different for both of us, but well worth it!! i'm confident the Lord ordained this, confident it's for "such a time as this". thrilled to share life, thrilled to laugh, cry, scream, slam doors, eat, drink (we'll turn 21 within a month of each other! PAR-TAY!), dance, fight moles coming out of the floor, run from bugs, spring clean, veg, pig out, watch movies, ride bikes through downtown, climb mountains, run, fly, roller blade, climb trees, swirl around in summer dresses, do ministry and plain out have FUN.

with great joy i welcome you Joanna. with great joy we enter into a new, exciting time. :)
