graduation.....

well.....graduation's tomorrow, & i think it's finally hitting me that it's completely overr. i'm sooo ready to be done with it all, but at the same time it's like all that i've ever known is just a memory now..bitter-sweet.....prolly more sweet tho, hehe ;) but still, life really does go on & it all happens in the blink of an eye. i've been so stinkin psyched for foreverrr to just move on with everything in my life, but now that it's here, it's like i'm starting all over again & i can't go back even if i tried. i wouldn't want to go back thru this past year, because it's been filled with so many trials and frustrations, but at the same time, i've never felt so close to God and willing to allow Him to completelyyy turn myself to Him in every situation. i've only been able to smile and be soo joyful about graduating, but now i know tomorrow will be filled with tears..some of sorrow, and others of joy. i can't wait to see all that God does in my life because i know that with Him it will be made perfect! & that just amazes me.  i'll be so enthusiastic about it all, but i can say this...that when we go give our parents hugs and flowers during our ceremony, i'll be crying just because of everything.......

..but this is enough for now..& i'm sure i'll be back fairly soon

:]

i think that there are some people who are placed in your life just to make you smile..& i'm soo thankful for them! :D

a late night thought..

I just thought of something last night..in exactly 2 months, i'll be down at Liberty University getting ready to start my freshman year of college.....CRAZYYY!! haha, but so excitingg! i've been talking to a few people wo will be going down to LU this fall for their freshman year too & i'm getting soo psyched! I think one of the things that i'm looking forward to most is seeing what God does with this chapter of my life, and the people that He's going to place in my life...[maybe even my future hubby, hehe ;) ]..yeah, i have nerves about it all, and leaving everything that i've ever known, but it doesn't have to be the end of something, but the start of a whole new beginning. the life that God is continuing to write for me, and that to me, is most definitely worth living for. 

well...guess what else?! I'M DONEEEE! i am completely done with allll things high school/lima christian school related, except for graduationnn! :D whoo-hooooo!! i'm so excited for grad wknd, because i have the ceremony and then my party the next day, as well as a tonnn of other parties from now thru that wknd! hehe, yayyy! :]

this summer is going to be soo much funnn & i'm looking forward to my last summer before i go off to school...in the beginning of july, i'm going down to chautauqua lake to spend some time with aunt kay, uncle dick, and the cordes family [chris's fam..can't waittt!!!] so that'll be for a few days...& then from there, i'll be heading down to the OBX for a family vaca with mi padre's side of the family to spend a wk down at the beach.....after we get back from the OBX, i'll have like a wk & 1/2 to 2 wks home before i leave again, ha..& thennnnn i'm going to Whitehall for fam camp & i'm soo excitedddddd!!! ;D i love campmeeting & i can't wait to see all of mis amigos! it's been wayyyy too longg & i miss 'em all too muchh!! so, i'll be at whitehall & visiting other fam in the PA area from the beginning of august to like around the 12th or 13th or something like that & then i come back home one last time for a few days, and then i finallyyyyy get to leave for LIBERTY UNIVERSITYYYY on the morning of the 17th! i'll go to my last elim service and youth group before i go off to school, cuz i'm gunna miss it soo much! i loveee my church!

but yeahh...anyways, that's sorta my summer in a brief moment, and i'll be back soon enough to talk some more about it, and plans so keep checkin in :]

back to describe the pics :]

Well i said earlier that i'd come back and describe the 3 events in detail..so here i am ;)

the first one that took place was our Jr/Sr banquet. it was fun just to hang out with everyone, and to get dressed up 'one last time' and everything, but it wasn't like a huuugeeeee deal. haha..the dress that i wore was just a fun one that i love wearing because i think it's cute, hehe :P but the seniors ended up having an after party after Jr/Sr since it didn't last long at all..we pretty much all went back to someone's house after to eat some more, figures, ha..& to watch some movies and play cards...then a few of us decided to leave and go see a movie, so we ended up going to see Star Trek at like 12:30 in the morning, haha, but it was totally fun, crazy & random.....but that's sorta how everything is with us, ha :]

before i tell about the next wknd event that happened, we went to LIBERTYYY UNIVERSITYYYY! hehe, yayyyy!! :D i'm soooo stinkin excited, like you have no idea! haha..so i'll def have to keep things updated on that ;D

the 2nd weekend of events was Em's wedding! she looked absolutelyy gorgeousssss!!! a few of the other cadre girls went and we had a fun time..at the reception, we sat with some other people from our church and we all had a good time. then later on in the evening...we danceddd!!! whoo-hooooooo! we of course had to do the electric slide as well as some other memorable dances, hehe..i got to dance with the breathtaking bride and some people i hadn't seen in a while & it was a blast!! ;)

nexttttt...i went to Bryan's prom with him, and we had a really good time. we went out to dinner before we went to prom, and it was pretty tasty i must say, hehe. we ended up getting to the place a lil early, so we decided to drive around a lil & we pretty much almost ended up in the ghetto, ahaa...but it was fun & eventful. there are some crazyyy people out there, lol. so then after the drive, we eventually made our way back to Artisan Works for prom and had some fun. we walked around for a lil just to see all of the art work and then took some pics, danced for a while with 2 of his friends & it was just a really fun nightt. :] we left prolly around 11:30ish & started to head back to his house for the after party with Brandon, Tim, and some other guys which led to a longgg, but crazy fun night, haha. BUTTTTTT, on our way back, there was this crazy guy who was driving down the exit ramp heading in our direction and he just like kept on drivingg til we couldn't see him anymore....it was like insane, and he had to have been like completelyyy wasted & out of it, hmm :/ but it was definitely something that we won't forget, ha.
we totally didn't get anyyy sleep that whole night..[or morning, hehe] since we stayed up all night playing games & eating, ha. then the next morning Brandon and i attempted to go to church on no sleep & that was....interesting, ha..well when we first got there for worship, we were like completely pumped and awake..[or so we thought, lol] but as soon as we sat down & they started showing a video clip thing, we totally just crashed for the rest of service....AHAA! & then we woke up at the end of the service & were like uhmm, hmm...& then we just like went back to their house, hahaa! :P

but yesss...that's sorta a quick summary of those 3 wknds, lol............FUNNN! :D

& so now i have 5 days of school left & 19 til graduationnnnn!!!! i'm sooo excited to finally get out of here & have summerr....& then.............go to LIBERTYYY!! whoo-hoooooo!! YAYY! ;D
but i'll be sure & put up grad pics & that sort of thing later..for now, adios amigos! :]
