I was at Hardin-Simmons my first two years of college. I LOVED IT! That is where I first learned what it was like to be a Christian who is on fire for the Lord. The majority of my "college" friends graduated from HSU. Sometime during my sophomore year I decided to go to nursing school. Although Abilene did have a nursing school, I felt God calling me to a different school. Therefore, I packed up my dorm room and headed south to Mary Hardin-Baylor. (I seriously think that has been one of the, if not the, hardest life decisions I have ever made.) I left my comfort zone. Let me tell you, being a transfer student is not a glamorous thing! Everyone has "their friends" and they don't want you to mess that up. Praise God for a girl who moved in next door to me! She was also transferring in as a junior! We quickly bonded and became confidants. If Kim hadn't been around, I probably would have transferred back to HSU and been WAY out of the will of God!
Back to the point...Kim and I reconnected through Facebook! We have been talking off and on. A couple of weekends ago she was driving through our city on the way to visit a friend down the road! We had her over for dinner and then headed downtown to enjoy some great ice cream at Spill the Beans. The evening was short, but such a blessing to be able to catch up with a dear friend.

Hey, very cool. I always enjoy catching up with people from the "past." Well, most people at least! :) I'm glad you went to HSU and were my neighbor our freshman year!!
I am SO glad you lived next door too! Oh the memories! Even slumber parties ;) The girls (and a boy or two) that I know from HSU are the greatest! You are my heart friends. I love that we have worked hard to maintain those bonds even though we are miles and miles and miles apart.
That is so fun! Two points for coolness!
