Picture Summary

One of these days I will get back to writing real posts, but for now, I think these pictures are doing a pretty good job of summing up these final days of Senior Year. They do a pretty great job of justifying the emotions held in each of these days!

Day 61:


I thought this was a funny snapchat from Connor, who saw us all leaving the house. (Connor lives next door)














Day 62:


Dad came and visited!! It was a truly terrific day.
The last few weeks, as we've gotten closer and closer to graduation, I have been asking the question, "Why did I come to Luther?" quite a bit. I think it's kind of the question that I've been trying to figure out for a while, and this day was kind of the answer to that question. Luther has been a time of growth and learning. It has also been a time that I have had some incredibly valuable experiences. On this day, I was able to talk to and spend time with so many wonderful people and truly see so many of the blessings over the past four years. It was rather overwhelming, but in the best of ways.




Day 63:

I feel blessed to go to Luther and work at the elementary schools in Decorah. It was a perfect day to bike to work.









Day 64:


Cathedral concert today, and STEVEN'S BIRTHDAY!! Looking forward to celebrating with him soon!!













Day 65:


Ah...Luther Sunsets...














Day 66:


This day deserved several pictures. Drinks and desert at La Rana to celebrate Senior papers being done as well as the Luther-Wartburg Track Meet. 














Day 67:


The tablecloth these flowers are sitting on is adorable, and is from Jenny's mom!!














Have a terrific Friday!!
