Well after months of no posting, here I am again. So much has happened with my Belmont experience and getting ready to move that I haven't been able to share because I couldn't find my dad gum password nor remember it for this! Sheesh! But I conquered technology this time. Kylie: 1, Technology: 0. Only that's probably not true because there have been many a time where technology has definitely beaten me to a pulp.
ANYHOW. Where to begin? I've done my check in for my housing, and I have found out who my roommate is going to be! I will be living in Wright Hall, and her name is Camille. :) It really is so exciting! Yesterday I got my temporary parking pass for move in day. I was reading all the information about moving in out loud to my family on our way to see Captain America last night when my first emotional break down leading up to leaving happened. It just hit me. I'm leaving. I won't see my brothers or my mom or my dad everyday like I have for the last 20 years. Praise the Lord for Skype. It will really come in handy.
Well the countdown has commenced. Approximately 23 days until we take off for good ole Nashville. I can't believe it, and while everyday I get a little bit more sad to leave the people I love, I also get more and more excited to start this journey!
GOD IS SO GOOD!

Paperwork and Postcards
To be honest, it's getting really difficult not to cpmpletely check out of my everyday life as it is going along right now. While I'm at work, I just keep thinking "Nashvilleeeee..." While I'm at school, I just keep thinking "Belmonttttt..." I want to buy stuff for my dorm! I want to organize all my stuff! It's so silly. Last week I went through all of my shoes, (Colton has been bugging me to do it for months), I got rid of tons of pairs... and still have PLENTY to get by with. :)
I also sent in my confirmation, deposit, and housing/roommate request form last week. Now that was exciting!!
(Yes, I am a super big dork and am planning on documenting all this little stuff to remember!) But hey, if you are reading this, you want to know all these little details, right?! I get so excited thinking I will be living in a dorm room in a matter of a few months. My biggest concern as of current is how on earth I am going to bring my closet along with me...
Yesterday was my birthday and I got the cutest suprise in regards to Belmont! They sent me a post card! How stinkin' cute is that! I was so excited. So excited, I had to take a picture with it! :)
So there's my update as of the last few weeks. My sweet Colton hasn't heard yet, so we are all incredibly anxious to get his darn acceptance letter too!!
I'll sign off with a few prayer requests: First, will you pray for Colton specifically, for favor with his application and an ultra-speedy result?! Second, will you pray for my roommate? I don't know who she is yet, and that's just it. I would love prayers for a girl who loves the Lord and who I truly enjoy spending time with. Rather than just sharing space with someone for a semester or a year, I would love to room with someone I can be friends with!
Thank you for supporting me in this awesome, crazy, exciting, new, FANTASTIC journey to Nashville! <3

The Big Envelope!
OPEN AT LORELAI’S HOUSE
[Lorelai and Rory are both reading in the living room. Lorelai glances out the window]
LORELAI: Mail!
RORY: Mail!
LORELAI: Hurry up! Where are your shoes?
RORY: I’ll get ‘em later.
LORELAI: No, get ‘em now.
RORY: Why?
LORELAI: Why? Because if your Harvard acceptance letter is in that batch of mail and you do not have shoes on, we can’t run off immediately and celebrate. All of our happiness will be on hold until you come back inside and put on your shoes. Is that what you want to put a hold on happiness?
RORY: What’s the difference if we wait then or we wait now?
LORELAI: Because we are not happy now.
RORY: Right, okay. [runs to her bedroom]
LORELAI: No laces, just get ‘em on your feet.
RORY: [runs back with shoes on] Let’s go!
[they run outside to the mailbox. Kirk is going through his mailbag]
LORELAI: Kirk!
RORY: Kirk!
KIRK: Good morning, ladies.
LORELAI: Is there an envelope in there?
RORY: A big envelope, not a little envelope.
LORELAI: Yeah, a big envelope means she’s in, a little envelope means she needs to marry rich.
I GOT MY GILMORE GIRLS BIG ENVELOPE MOMENT!!! On March 1, 2011, I sent in my application to Belmont University in Nashville, TN. Last night, on March 21, my family had just gotten home from having dinner together when my dad came in with the mail. "There's an envelope here from Belmont..."
I instantly started crying. This was it. This was the moment. And it was the big envelope. I got myself together thinking that it was possible that the Belmont advisors didn't watch Gilmore Girls and perhaps didn't understand the magnitude of the envelope size. Maybe they sent every kind of letter in a big envelope... I opened it, and there was a beautiful blue folder inside. I opened the folder, and there was a letter addressed to me. "Kylie Percival, Congratulations!" The tears came again. I was accepted. I am accepted.
My family spent the rest of the night together, laughing, crying, "woohoo"ing, talking about dorm shopping and roommates. The crying was happy crying, then sad crying, then happy again. So much crying!
So here is the first update of my journey to somewhere new, with new people and new places and new experiences. I am going to live in Nashville. It's surreal. Please support me in prayer through this journey! My God is so good.
