“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we...”

– Henri J.M. Nouwen Favorite quote ever.

Dear Followers,

I will be leaving in an hour for the week. I’m headed to Texas baby (and I’m not even bringing my cowboy boots! *gasp*). I probably won’t be on here much, so I hope everyone has a fantastic week! I love you all<3 Katie

I can't wait to know Drew's surgery is over and he...

hingesoffthedoor replied to your post: Hello 4:19am, it’s nice to see you. i’m awake too! wooohoo! hahaha Haley, I remember those days in college. In fact, I think this is the first time I’ve seen 4:30am since I lived in the dorms. *cheers* :) I can never sleep the night before a big trip, and then with the Drew thing on top of it, there was REALLY no hope.

Hello 4:19am, it's nice to see you.

I can never sleep the night before a trip. I’m just gonna shower and get myself ready because we are leaving at 6.

That moment when you feel like crying but don't...

Then suddenly, someone asks you “are you okay?” so you go: This has happened to me several times in the last 2 weeks. Just sayin’.

mountainkid replied to your post: mountainkid replied to your post:… i left you a voicemail btdubs. like on my way home from dinner. I never got one… weird. I’m going to attempt sleep now. Leaving in 5 hours… better at least try for a couple hours. Will be in the car all day tomorrow so feel free to text me. Love ya girl.

mountainkid replied to your post: hingesoffthedoor replied to your post: Prayers… if he’s getting surgery i’m sure he’ll be okay. positive prayer is ten times better then worried thoughts. He will be fine :) That’s why I asked for prayers silly goose.

hingesoffthedoor replied to your post: Prayers and good vibes for my little brother please, he’s in the hospital with appendicitis. :( is that why jenna’s status is in the er!? oh no! i’ll be praying! Yeah! On the way downtown now for surgery. Thanks for praying<3

Prayers and good vibes for my little brother...

When someone on Tumblr says something really sweet...

So much to do tomorrow and Friday.

I need rest so badly because I certainly won’t be getting any next week LOL AHHHHHH :) I cannot wait. I miss my friends so so much and can’t wait to spend the week with them. Goodnight, dear followers. I love you all so!

mountainkid asked: i don't know how to reply to a reply on a post,haha. im not very good with that kinda junk, but i just recall when we met the other day & you read that thing from your blog.
you said you'd link me?
if you don't wanna,i understand,whatever floats your boat.

I can't believe I'm leaving in 3 days for Dallas.

I have SO much to do between now and then… and NO time to do it. Oh man, staying up til 2am on Tumblr isn’t going to help my cause trying to wake up early to get ish done. And on a more serious note, I have always loved getting away and vacation. This year, I feel very conflicted about leaving. I am so excited to spend the week with my amazing friends and for an amazing cause,...

goodnight beautiful people

Lately, I have been in a really awful place. In the midst of it, I have found that I am learning and growing so much, and that the people I share life with are supporting me and loving me like crazy through it. As much as I am hurting, I can’t help but to be so grateful for the incredible grace I am being shown in it all. Thank you to those of you who are in that group of people. And some...
