New Orleans

Hey!

Today I'm leaving for New Orleans and will be there for a week with my youth group, helping rebuild in areas hit by Katrina as well as doing a little bit of sightseeing.  I'm so excited!!!!!

I know that after we return, the rest of the summer will seem to "zoom by."  Before I know it, it will be the end of August and I will be packing up, moving into a new dorm and starting a new life.


Talk to you soon!

Graduated

Hey everyone!

I know I haven't posted on here for a while- but I wanted to update on somethings.

First and foremost I'd like to say that this past Thursday, I graduated high school!!!  I had a lovely time with my family and friends.  On Saturday we had a luncheon at my house and our prettified backyard (i'm pretty sure the last time we've had a big thing in my backyard was my 8th birthday part :} ) It was a good experience for me socially and it was a nice, laid-back affair.  I've also several gifts, money and even a few scholarships over the past couple of weeks.
I've decided on a tiny liberal arts college in my home state.  Originally I wanted to go out of state, but the school I'm attending attracts people from many different places.  There's a surprising number of people from the other side of the country and foreign countries as well.  I get to meet several people at orientation next week as well as in August.  I'm also on the Facebook group for the college, so I've got a gist that there are many students with similar interests as me.  (Even if they are much more social ;] )

Well, overall I'm feeling pretty relieved and looking forward to this summer being a good one.  I'm going to New Orleans for a service trip and going to a wedding, in addition to some more local yokel stuff.

Hope to talk to you soon!
