Out with the old, in with the new

I just got rid of a lot of clothes. I mean, a lot. Like, half of the clothes hanging in my closet, some of the ones from my dresser, and all of the ones I had stored in under bed plastic containers. Wow.

Leaving the nest

My friend Laura and I went to State College for one last weekend before I make my move out to Des Moines. It was a great weekend. We spent time with all of our friends who are still living there or are still going to school.
Everything was great, until the drive back home. [...]
