yes, it's getting very late and i should be sleeping, but i just got the impression to write on here so i am. haha. hmmm, where do i start? graduation was pretty good. actually, it was super boring. lol, i'm not going to lie. what made it totally worth it, though, was at the end of the ceremony when the students were walking back in their lines. Drew was walking and looked our way, so i waved and he waved back, but unfortunatly for him, there was a chair in his general walking area and he stumbled over it. hehe. thankfully he quickly got over it and threw his arms in the air like he was the champion of the greatest competition in the world. it was amazing! after the graduation we went out to eat at his favorite resturant as a family. it was fun and delicious! Brother Curtis did a little speech thing about how it was a big deal for their family cause Drew was going to BYU for a while and Chad was going on a mission for 2 years. it was a sad but very exciting moment. then we went home and all of us were exhausted and super full so a couple of us laid down to take a nap and then my mum picked me up that evening after my sister and i said a weird goodbye to Drew since he'd be leaving the next day. now realizing that he is very far away for a long period of time is a little harder for me than i thought it'd be. i'm pretty good at saying goodbye/see you later (i've had quite a bit of practice), but i've only had a couple that really got me the way this one did. going from spending most nights with him and his family to cold turkey is more difficult than it was supposed to be. ugh, this is so dumb.
anyways...i'm pretty excited for this summer, because i should be getting a pretty good tan! (hopefully) the girls i nanny for and i might be heading to the pool a couple times each week :)i have to sign up for classes this week for the Fall semester. i really don't know what i'm going to sign up for. i mean, i do, but i need to make sure i get what i need and am happy with what i think i should want. yeah, a little crazy, but it should work out in the end. housing. now THAT is what is making me nervous... and the plane/hotel/car rental prices make me worry. i think i have a lot of praying and fasting to do. i'm so thankful for the gospel in my life. it's gotten me this far and i know it will help me through so much more. kay, time to lay this little head down and get some shut eye. <3
music can do so much! it can pump you up for a game, trigger memories, create contention, lift your spirits... this song is in my playlist, but sometimes people listen to the music more than the lyrics. these are the lyrics to one of the songs that help lift me up during some tough times...
Be Strong
By: Delta Goodrem
Are you swimming upstream in oceans of blue?
Do you feel like your sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it
You can make it
Sometime soon I know you'll see
'cause when your in you're darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong
Where taking each step one day at a time
You can't loose your spirit
Let live and let live forget and forgive
It's all how you see it
And just remember keep it together
Don't you know you're never alone
'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on, and be strong
No you're not defeated
And soon you'll be smiling once again
Then you won't have to feel it
Let it go with the wind
Time passes us by
And know that you're aloud to cry
'cause when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of gray
Well hang on and be strong
Ok, so this is an exciting experience for me! actually, i don't know what to write here, but i'll figure it out. right?
today was an exciting day! kinda... haha. the therapist came today to help Joy and then Becca was going to go over to her cousin's house, but her aunt couldn't pick her up so we walked over. did i mention that it's about a 1 1/2 mile hike over to their house from here? oh yes. so there it was, 10:30ish in the morning, not a cloud in the sky. the sun was beating down on us and the breeze decided to play hide-and-seek or something, cause it totally wasn't there. we walked down the street in the shade (provided by the neighborhood trees), but then we hit the grassy creek area with NO trees. i learned today that pushing a stroller through tall grass in the TX heat/sun is not fun. haha. so i guess i walked about 3 miles this morning. pretty cool :)
the girls and i made a treat today involving powder sugar, gram crackers, peanut butter, and chocolate. it was pretty good, but SUPER sweet. something you might just take little bites at a time.
Becca and i made supper. this chiciken pot pie stuff. it's pretty yummy! i just finished my last bite and am watching Hotel for Dogs with the Turpins. i like it so far! i wanted to see it when it first came out, but i didn't want to pay $8 for it. ya know?
tomorrow is KHS graduation! i don't know how excited i am to go, but i'm supportive of Drew and Geoff and Daniel :) the Curtis family are driving me to and from. i think i get to spend part of the afternoon with them, so that should be fun. it's my last day with Drew before he leaves for BYU on Sunday at 4pm, two weeks before school starts. yeah, totally not impressed with the leaving early part, but you take what you get and make the best of it, right? hmmm,
yeah. kay, well, i'm going to finish the movie now and continue to text Jakob who is bored at a party. hehe. poor guy.
goodnight! sweet dreams!
<3
