+it's a long life, only one last chance-couldn't get much better, do you wanna dance?

It took so long to get here. Lonely nights, studying non-stop, working harder than I knew was imaginable. Oh, and how worth it!! Sitting next to good friends and my sweet Devon and taking it all in... How easily we forget the tumultuous 24 months of skyping and texting and paper-writing and heartache. I think it's easy to move on and forget, but I need to live in daily acknowledgement of how far we have come and keep the reality alive. Deep appreciation. And sweet relief.
