I figured maybe if I sit here and write something mindless on my blog, it might get me in the mood to write everything I need to… Though summer is here, beautiful as ever, I still have a lot of graduation things to accomplish before New Attitude in a few weeks. (Graduation stuff has to all be done before that because its only a few days after the conference!)

Today Khrysten and I worked on the speech I’m giving at graduation. (We didn’t get that far, but we got the general idea of what I’m going to say) Jordan Slingo is honoring the dads and I am honoring the moms. I’m looking forward to it, I just need to organize my thoughts! I also need to write out my “thank you letter” to my parents that will be displayed on my memorabilia table the night of the ceremony. Then there a few essays I have to work on in applying for scholarships. And I ran out of invitations so I have to make more! And I need to finish my scrap book this week! I only have 8 more years of life to do! J And I’m sure there are other things I’m forgetting… Like shoes! I need shoes for graduation! They need to be adorable and go with my dress, but I need to be able to walk in them because I will be walking in front of a ton of people. Oh the dilemmas of life! What shall I do?!

This past Saturday a group of us served as Janessa and Malachi’s wedding reception! It was pretty crazy and tiring but SO MUCH FUN! I loved being a fancy “waitress” and not so fancy dish washer. Everyone did so much pitching in that the work load wasn’t excessively overwhelming. We even got a chance to party and dance with all our other friends for a while. And I am so sore! I never danced so much in my life! It really was insane. (and my parents, oh my goodness, my parents were dancing fools…that’s another story though) Yeah, the next morning, I felt like I was dead. Haha. But by the grace of God, got up and went to church! J We just started a class at church called “The Truth Project”. The first lesson was very exciting! There has really been a theme lately in the things God is revealing to me. He is giving me a hunger for TRUTH, teaching me to dwell on TRUTH, and to be an advocate of TRUTH!

I can’t believe we’re well into the month of May! Just a few more weeks until my baby brother Quint is born! I have a feeling he’ll come while I’m at New Attitude. L But *maybe* I’ll be home! And New attitude! I am SO excited! Getting there in and of itself is going to be an adventure. We’re driving up…My mom, Gloria, Maria, Nicole, Sam, Steven and I! A full car, but I think it’s a pretty great group. I’m so excited to see what the Lord is going to do!

I love the beginning of summer! On Sunday everyone was running around all excited, quickly filling up our week days with fun things, mostly movie nights. Lots of movies! (We’re going to see Prince Caspian an midnight on Thursday!! YES!) And next week, well, it’s just going to be a beautiful thing. Looking forward to it would be an understatement.

I probably really should get moving on all my projects!

Trying for a real life blog. Like a real person.

Lately things have been pretty crazy, running back and forth between work, school and whatever else. I only have to finish two more assignments and I'll be done! Well, on May 1st I will be! I'm so looking forward to next month coming, though alot has to get done before then. There are a million little things that are consuming my time. School assignments, getting things together for graduation, preparing for my brother Quint's birth (Next month!!), working out scholarships and classes for the Fall semester.

Nicole took my senior pictures last week. She's fantastic may I add, so creative!

And I went to Jenny's Babyshower today, which was a little awkward...not knowing anyone really, but seeing all the baby stuff made me REALLY excited! I can't wait to hold my little Q!

God has been so faithful to speak to me and reveal my sin to me recently. I have alot of change ahead of me, but I am confident in his sustaining grace and strength.

I just really can't wait until summer. Its so close!

there are few things as refreshing to me as a morning sitting on the beach, baking in the sun and walking with my toes touching the water.

Just what I needed!

The past few days my head has not been my friend, and my throat has been a ruthless enemy.
But thanks to the wonders of advil, I am feeling a bit relieved.

I have spent most of the day organizing pictures for my scrapbook, drinking water and watching Saved by the Bell.

Though I am not feeling well, its been refreshing to just sit and do pretty much nothing.
And I am certain that God will give me grace to wake up and go to school and work tomorrow!

This evening my papa and I looked at my 4 year plan to get my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education.

We set up two semesters and also summer classes for '09.
I'm going to savor my last...summer of "childhood".
But I'm glad I have a general plan for the next year of school.

Now I need to go do the dishes, drink some tea and finish watching What about Bob.

I wouldn't mind just riding a roller coaster right now...
that is other than the roller coaster of my life.

I'm waiting for my pasta to be done, I love eating pasta.

Spring Break has come and gone. And here I am sitting in one spot all day...working in my speech...for tomorrow. Blah.

Spring Break had its excessively fun moments like going to the Gainesville, staying with the Gillands and seeing the Avett Brothers! Having a Stemberger-Dunlop-Urquhart day completely with going to the park and eating PB&J! Going to Busch Gardens! And celebrating Nicole's birthday!

But now its back to life. I finished my speech, I feel very happy that I have everything together, now I just need to practice it a few times before tomorrow.

Today is beautiful, sunny and warm. I want to go outside.

I'm kind of confused by this, as I am with all online things when I first start them.

I tried break free from blogging, but I give up. I like it.

I could try to think of something exciting and clever to talk about...But all I can think of right now is the fact that my mom just said she thinks I should have blond hair again...

I'm never content with my hair.

I'm really not as shallow as I sound.

I just started every sentence with the word "I" including this one.
