Buddies

One of the things I loved most about being at the academy for the last month is that normally very shy Lydia came out of her shell some. As the youngest person living in our "community" (have I told you I'm glad to not be living in a dorm anymore?) she was quite the focal point for a lot of attention. She was scared at first but ended up really like the attention. She especially liked the younger members...Christian, Laurean, Ashley and Hannah were her frequent compainions. Here she is with Ashley who loved to hold Lydia anytime she could.
