Home Is Where The Hedge Is.

Well, howdy do.
I'm all moved in for my sophomore year of college, and we have finished decorating our wonderfully homey room. Not to brag or anything, but all the girls on our hallway have been coming in for inspiration. Anyway, I thought you all back home might enjoy some pictures.
Daddy, if you're reading this, show Momma. She'll want to see.

Emily and I chose to go with "I Love Lucy" style beds. And we love them. I think my favorite part is that they are close enough so that we can hold hands and pray together every night before we fall asleep.

This is my bed. Above it are a photo my talented friend Haley took, a series of pictures I drew of Abraham Lincoln in space, and my counselor of the week medal from camp.

I hung up a few encouraging bits of lovely next to my bed on my armoire. You can call it a wardrobe. Here is what is there: A drawing of me labeled "Betty", a picture of a camper, the gospel in 142 words essentially, courtesy of David Platt, my prayer list, a picture of my folks, and Ezekiel 3:6&7, which I am using as a sort of "mission statement" for this year.

This is my lovely picture wall. If you can't read the words on the left, they are something my pastor said today, "He will always do what He said He'll do, and that is making much of Himself in our lives." Beauty and truth.

Our media corner, if you will. You may have noticed that we have a VHS player. I take much pride in that.

And finally, our exceptionally cozy green chair perfectly paired with a pencil drawing of The Great Robert Zimmerman. Doesn't it look like a dream?

You are welcome anytime!

Jane Roommate.

So, we didn't rush. Obviously.

Also, I will make these for my possible one-day children. Or for someone's children. Anyone's children.

Banana Split.

Well. Hello from Nashville, Tennessee. For the record, if I ever refer to Nashville as "NashVegas", please publicly humiliate me.
Anyway. These last two days have been spent in devotion to making my dorm room lovely. Very worthy cause. And, let me just say, I don't think we botched it. Jane Roommate and I love what is going down in Room 438, New Hall South.
And I think you will, too.

Welcome..

Our key hanger that I painted.

This is my bed. It is where I sleep at college.
I made that quilt, in case you haven't been keeping up.

My windows.

I put another shot of my bookcase just because
I love it so much. It's so wonderful

Meet Chuckanucka, Ox, and Deer Ugly.

My desk area.

This picture of me is above our window, guarding us
 from whatever danger may befall New Hall South.

Please notice the INCREDIBLE frame from Alicia Bishop.
It is probably one of the best gifts I've ever gotten.

My record player. Every college student's
 first basic necessity.

Jane Roommate's bed.

This is the lovely Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) sketch
given me by Haley Rae Richter. It sits above our bathroom door.

Our huge shower. We scored a handicapped room, and
it came with this monstrous shower, a huge bathroom stall,
 and an unbelievably annoying doorbell.

And finally, meet Jane Roommate!

Well, goodnight from the Nash. I miss you, my home. Welcome to Belmont.
