You meet some people that are meant to stay in your life, and you also meet people that are meant to stay for a little while, but make an impact on your life while they're here. My librarian was the latter.

It may seem strange when I tell you this, but my librarian was my friend. She was old enough to be my grandma, but had the heart of a child. Not only did she waver my book late fees, she always was willing to listen to my rambles and give me the best nuggets of wisdom. She was the best example of a classy country woman that I've ever seen. When I grow up I want to be just like my librarian. ;)

My librarian worked her last day at my small-town library today. I was so sad when she told me. I was heartbroken really. I know that our lives crossed paths for a reason, and for that I am truly grateful.

Here are just a few of things my librarian has told me over the past year that I've known her.

"The good thing about books, they will always be waiting for you." -my librarian #librarianwisdom

"The nerds are the ones that will one day rule the world." - my librarian

I'm done with highschool forever! I finished up my last day last week. I am so excited to be done and to have one less thing to worry about. It also gives me a lot of extra time...I'm talking gobs of extra time. I find myself being way more bored than I've ever been before. I know that it's only gonna be about 4 more months before this whole school thing starts back again so I'm trying to savor this short stage.

Things are really starting to fall into place as far as college living situations go. I didn't want to live at home and commute, but I really didn't have another option. Come to find out one of my friends is needing a roommate for next semester! One thing I've been learning lately is that the very moment you stop worrying about something God always opens a door.
