I've been realizing lately what a small world it is... I was in a restaurant on campus watching the news and the story of the Random Lake, WI girl who was shot at Fort Hood game across the screen. Her name is Amber Bahr and she was shot in the back but continued to help others before seeking help herself. What a heroine! I couldn't get it out of my head that her name sounded familiar, but I shook it off.
I later realized that while I was a senior in high school, she was a sophomore! She's changed since high school, so I assume that's why I didn't recognize her at first. How crazy is that? It's such a small world... my high school was very small, maybe 250 people total in all four classes. I think it's mind boggling that this modern-day heroine passed me in the halls just a few years ago.
I am thankful for heroes like Amber who put others before themselves.
The basement renovation my parents have been working on for months is finally complete. The bathroom no longer looks like a scene from Saw, and there's carpeting on the floor. Two closets create a bedroom space and a large window brings in beautiful, natural light. In about a month and a half, I will be moving yet again, but this time into my parents' basement with the Boyfriend so that we can kickstart our lives by saving up some money.
I am thankful for my parents who would do just about anything to help me out.
