I guess that is just life! I went to Disney World with singers at the end of may and boy oh boy was that fun! You all know how addicted to disney world i am! I LOVE IT! Things are great with Jim and I and it has been nice to take a break from the long distance thing and be in teh same city! As much as I love seeing all of my friends here and my parents, I am more than ready to go back to AU! I miss everyone down there and there is nothign like the plains! I hope you all are having a wonderful summer...I would write more but it is time for my stupid calc class! Mucho love!

| Wow...these last two weeks have been horrible. I'm stressed out right now...BUT, there is hope- Jim come's Thursday for the weekend for Singers Formal. I'm so excited about that! The only formal we were together for was Prom and it was truly amazing, so I'm excited about this one. School and Vocal Chamber Ensemble and Singers have been kicking my butt. I have NO TIME to do anything. But, it is all going to be over soon and boy am I excited about that! Miss Alison Walker is coming down this weekend also and I'm super exited about that! She hopefully can come over and help me get ready for formal...if she wants to that is :) !! I went home this past weekend for a singers show and that was a blast. We had some family friends from Jasper come up and stay the weekend, so there was definately never a dull moment at my house! Oh and Sat Night we all played pictionary...guys agaisnt the girls. Me, Mom, and Sheila( from Jasper), and Dad, Larry(from Jasper), and Jim were on the other. Ok so let me just tell you, the guys cheated the whole game and we never caught on until the end when they confessed. We still won, but still...THEY CHEATED LIKE CRAZY AND WE NEVER EVEN NOTICED. Jim said that while we were trying to guess what someone on our team was drawing, that they would draw the next card in the stack and look at all the answeres so that they would know it when it was there turn! AHH, I was so mad. But, the cheaters never win, so there!!! Anyways, it was a fun weekend and all was well! Well it is time to go dance and sing my heart out! I'll talk to you kids later! Mucho Love!

| Ok Ok, its really hard for me to keep this thing updated..BUT, I am trying at least! So this has probably been the busiest week that I have had since I havve been at Auburn. Between, Chemistry, Vocal Chamber Rehearsals, and Singers shows out the wazoo, I can slowly but surely see the light at then end of the school year tunnel. Boy, I can not WAIT until summer. IT is going to be so nice to see Jim everday, spend time with my friends and family, and just relax. AHH, I can't wait. I cannot wait until next week/weekend! Jim is coming on Thursday and then we have our Singers Formal on Saturday, so I'm super excited about that! You know, you never realize how much time with someone you take for granted until you are separated from them. This has truly been a learning experience with ups and downs but is working remarkably well for the circumstances. I said I would never do a long distance relationship, but there was just something abotu this one that made it different...made it worth the while! I can't wait until he comes to AU and we can be together everyday! Well it's dinner time with the girls! I love you all- especially you Jim Jim! | | |
| Wow...what a weekend! So Thursday, was a horrible day!! On top of it all I couldn't get in touch with Jim, and when he finally could talk, he turned his phone off...so needless to say I was pretty pissed. Well, as I am sitting at Cheeburger Cheeburger with Libby, I'm venting my frustrations with him to her and then my phone rings...and what do I learn? HE IS IN AUBURN!!! That's right, he came to surprise, one of my best girl's Alison let him ride with her down here and he surprised me! Granted I did go home this weekend for a wedding, but it was nice to have someone to ride home with me. So this weekend started out wonderfully! The wedding was Bethany Beard's (Christina's step sister)...I sang in it and it all went well. The ceremony and reception went smoothly and Bethany of course looked gorgeous. It is so weird that people I have known since middle school, and that I looked up to are getting married! It is so weird to think that in three years I will have a job and be hopefully married and on my own! But the weekend was filled with the wedding activites and it was really fun to get to share it with christina and john and jim. Oh and saturday night, jim took me out to a field and we layed under a blanket and looked at teh stars. It was absolutely perfect! So I had a great weekend! THANK YOU ALISON WALKER, LUNCH AT ROSIE'S IS ON ME-SOON!!! Well I need to run, Mat is coming over to work on our duet that we are trying out for the AU Singers Spring Show! Night Kids

| I stole this from someone...haha
Somewhere between the *procrastination* and the homework..
and the incessant forwards
and the friendships and the calls
to each other complaining about CrUsHeS and
BF/GF!! Somewhere between the phone calls to old
friends and the "I miss you's", the "I love you's" and
the "What are we doing tonight's?" And somewhere
between all of the changing and growing...
somewhere between the classes and the skipping
classes...and the StUdYiNg for teStS...And the
PRETENDING to "StUdY" for TeStS...
And the downright NOT StUdYiNg for TeStS...
I forgot--I forgot what ScHooL was all about.
Somewhere between all the appointments, starbuck coffee,
and Mc Donald's... paying bills and then not paying bills...
Making plans then breaking plans... Appearing, Disappearing,
then reappearing... I forgot--I forgot what it was like to cry.
I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you
happy... And that pretending to
be SmArT doesn't make you smart .. I forgot
that you can't just forget the past in
fear of the FUTURE... I forgot that you
can't control falling in LoVe..
And that you can't make yourself fall in *LoVe*
.... I learned that I can LOVE... I
learned that it's okay to MEsS UP....
And it's okay to ask for HELP!!!.. And it's
okay to feel like crap... I learned it's okay to cOmPLaiN
and wHINe to all your friends for a whole day........
I learned that sometimes the things you want
most you just can't have and the things that
you look for are right in front of you.
I learned that the greatest thing about
HiGh ScHOoL and CoLLeGe and the working world
it isn't about the parties or the
DRiNKiNG or the Hookups ...
It's the *FrIeNdShIpS*, which means taking chances.
I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget
are the things which we most need to talk about...
I learned that TIME and LOVE can heal all things...
I learned that just when you think it can't get worse - it does! ...
but with the love and support of friends - you survive...
I've learned that when you start feeling BaD
about L O S I N G touch and about those that you've lost!
They too, are feeling the same way....
I learned that letters from friends are the
most important things. And that sending cards to your
friends makes you feel better! But, basically, I just learned
that my friends........ Both old and new..... are the most important
people to me in the world AND.......without them, I wouldn't be who
I am today..... | | |
