December 2

Matt and I gave Karis a tour of our alma mater, the place we first met and fell in love. We traveled to the bottom floor of Carter Hall, and I showed her my old mailbox. The number 525 is forever emblazoned in my memory. For four years I performed the daily ritual of peeking through this tiny window in the hopes that I would find a letter from home or my new boyfriend. Such exciting and lonely years.

"such exciting and lonely years"

i'll add an "amen" to that - college years are kind of a jumble of conflicted memories for me.

How in the WORLD do you remember your number?! I have absolutely no clue what mine was yet I do usually have a pretty good memory.

Not for numbers, apparently.

Oh wow, the Carter mailboxes! I don't recall my number (only lived there one year), but I definitely feel a rush of remembering the hope of mail.

Your Dec 1 pic was featured on the DPP page today. Sorry I didn't tell you until now!
