Sitting in an Airport

... waiting for an airplane to take me to NYC.
I spent the last three days with my Eli, enjoying a few choice moments before we parted ways yet again. Two more years... then we can be together.
I remember my dear DA family... and how much all of you supported and encouraged me a year and a half ago, when I was beginning to question my chosen field. Would I stick with civil engineering? Or would I take the plunge and go for fashion design? Some of you reminded me not to make the decision lightly. I thought, prayed, talked, and cried into Eli's arms and to God. It took an incredible trip to Japan, and, in some ways, my father's last words to me, to push me towards this crazy dream of mine.
Now I'm almost there. I've finished my first complete design project (Marquis of Vaudeville stage costumes) before my first class. My best friends and I are all finally moving towards what we were each designed for. I found out what a real family is like. And I confirmed how much I love Eli.
Yeah, I'm still looking for a job. No, I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do it. But I have love and family and God, and that's all I need.
Thank you so much for praying for me, thinking about me, and talking with me over the intertubes. You all are so precious to me, and I think about you every day. Thank you, thank you...

With Love and Blessings, The Dream Begins,
