Choosing my Future.

Well I have pretty much less than two weeks to figure out where I am going to live next fall before housing fills up. Choosing a dorm shouldn't be hard right? Well I thought it wasn't going to be. My true indecisive spirit is coming through once again (maybe I should change the name of this blog to something like "Trying to choose" or "TBA"...hmmm). Anyway back to choosing a dorm. There are so many questions to be answered! How many people I want to room with, microwave or cold meals for the next 2+ years, internet or having to find out how to get it on my own, and how close do I want my dorm to the buildings I will be in. And a friend of mine and I have been talking about rooming together but she will not know if she will even be at the college until after applications for housing open. So do I go ahead and apply or wait for her? Maybe I should just get a tent and camp out in the forest by the school.
This is all very exciting though I do have to admit : )

Naming This Blog Was Difficult

So...after inspiration from my awesome friends Sarah and Alena I decided to start a blog. The set up process was pretty easy (besides me getting locked out of my new email for probably the third time this week) until it got to the part where I had to name my blog, and this is when my pesky indecisive side came forward. At that moment I was listening to music and saw the new Owl City album which is really good. The Honey and The Bee is probably my favorite song off of the album and one line in the song goes "Don't remind me I'm a chickadee in love with the sky" hence the name : )
It is true though, I do love the sky. The clear blue of a summer day, the enveloping grey of an approaching storm head, and the pitch black of the night sky. And the stars...I am in love with the stars. There is just something so amazing about them. They are so complex and massive, something that makes me feel so small but at the same time comforted. Once (thanks to a strange GPS) I wound up in the middle of a field somewhere outside of Marlin,Texas with some friends very late one night, we stopped our truck and got out to look at the stars. Usually when you look at the stars where I live now you can see a couple of stars that all look like they are the same distance away. There, in the middle of nowhere with no lights around, you could see thousands of stars and could see the different levels of them. It was breathtaking to say the least.
To know that the same God that created those stars created us and wants to know us, is what is truly amazing though. He is so in love with us to the extent that we cannot understand the true capacity of how much he loves us and what all he does for us : )
