So I'd like to take a minute to introduce you to my sweet friend Catherine.
We met our freshman year at Pepperdine eight years ago (eight years ago?!) and have done our best to keep in touch (even though she is now blowing my mind and attending Yale Divinity School on the other side of the country).
I still remember the first time we sat down and had a real conversation: we were in the cafeteria at school there and were discussing our futures.
She was going to join the CIA. I was going to be a journalist. We both loved writing and talked freely about how we wanted to use that to light the world on fire.
Over the years we would weave in and out of classes together, find ourselves the dates of certain young gentlemen at their fraternity formal in Las Vegas (nothing like sporting little black dresses at an Irish pub in the middle of a casino, eh?), study abroad in London and eventually say our goodbyes after we crossed the stage at graduation nearly four years ago.
Still, as I said, we've kept in touch. When Catherine moved to Connecticut she started a wonderful blog called The Yale Chapter. And this whole thing has basically been leading up to mentioning how much I love her most recent post about The Old Testament.
Needless to say, this girl is brilliant (and quite possibly the sweetest person I've ever met). Beautiful inside and out, I am so happy she continues writing and sharing her thoughts as she learns more about the world that was, the world that is, and the world that is yet to come!
Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend!
