The latest development in Elizabeth's and my lives is my decision to join a sorority called Chi Omega. I am in the pledging process and will be initiated in March! I feel so blessed to be a part of the most amazing group of girls. My pledge class has a total of 86 girls in it and I have felt so welcomed and loved by each one, including the older girls as well.
(I love how similar we look here! Love you, E!)
I never saw myself as a "sorority girl" but have come to realize it is so much more than wearing Greek letters and throwing parties, or whatever my perception held. Especially at my school, Chi Omega is about creating real friendships and learning to love each other well as Christ loves us.
(Here is my wonderful pledge class at our 80's themed party!)
Even as I write this it fills me with joy to think about the beautiful lives I have come to interact with these past few weeks. Each girl has something unique and valuable to bring to the sorority and I truly feel like every person is a celebration of God's masterful creation. His plan is perfect; thankfully His plan put me in Chi Omega! I am learning so much and cannot wait to spend the next three and a half years with these women!
As usual, I can't seem to keep my pictures limited... Here are some moments I couldn't pass up!
This is my "twin" who went to high school with me, Ashley!
So blessed to continue our friendship as sisters.
This is my friend, Anna! She is incredibly caring and inclusive.
Mommy came to see my get my bid for Chi Omega!
I have the most beautiful and selfless mother.
My bestie Madi got a little excited about all our presents...!
We are so blessed!
So happy Monday and may the Lord give you peace and strength for today! He is so good.

Psalm 116: 5-7
"The Lord is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The Lord protects the unwary; when I was brought low, he saved me. Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you."
