Journal Entry 5/26/08

This weekend... I met this guy named...Patrick...he is from Maryland. He called me on Friday night cause he saw my picture at his soon to be grandparents house. He was like who is she and they told him that it was me. He called me and left a voicemail for me to call him back cause he thought I was cute and he wanted to hang out. On Saturday we met up for lunch. He is a very very sweet guy. We went to Sports Page and talked a lot. We almost forgot to order our food cause we talked so much. Later on we went back to my house cause I told him that I wanted to get my jet ski out and go riding. When we were on the jet ski all of a sudden it shut down on us. Yes...we were stranded. I have never been stranded on the lake before with a complete stranger. After we got rescued I had to go home and babysit. So all that night we texted and everything. Sunday I woke up and texted him to see what he was doing and so we hung out all day Sunday. We went out on the lake again and had a blast. Sunday night we went over to Lydias house for a bonfire and everyone there loved him. They all thought he was the coolest guy they had ever met and he even like them too. It was so amazing how he just bonded with them and talked to them like he had known them his whole life. So anyways its now Monday and that will have to be a different journal entry!

Last week was a very tramatic week for me. My best friend....which Im not going to name any names, she decided to have some major anxiety attacks. She threw up for like 4 days straight and she wouldnt eat, sleep or talk to anyone. It really depressed me. She even had thoughts of suicide too. I asked her what was making her panic so much and she said it was stress from Graduation and going off to college soon. Finally I just said that we have to go somewhere. Every night last week we wend either to the movies or out to dinner or shopping. Last Friday night we went to see "Made of Honor". Getting her out of the house was the best thing I could do for her. She is now back to normal and I just hope that she continues to be strong about everything and stick through Graduation and our trip thats coming up soon. I know she is going to freak out when we go to college, but it will do her good.

MAY 31st....

On May 31st, I will be celebrating my graduation, even though I dont graduate until June 7th. The reason why we always have our graduation parties a week before is because on the actual graduation day I have too many people to visit. I dont want to miss out on visiting my friends' parties because Im too busy having mine. We are getting ready to send out the invintations this week. We printed them out yesterday, stuffing my pics in them today and then mailing them out tomorrow. Mom printed out 75 invites. Thats a lot of people. I know that not everyone will come but I hope they do because it would mean a lot to me.

After, well actually during my grad party, Im going to have my 18th Birthday party. That day Im going to just party party party. But the cool thing is that Im going to have my closest friends and the clostest parents friends there with me! I cant wait for that day to come. Its going to be awesome. I mean just being able to swim in the lake with my friends that Im graduating with and also spending time with the people who have seen me grow up all my life is going to be amazing. My friend from Arizona was supposed to fly out and see me but he is not going to be able to come because he has to work in order for him to be able to come to California! But anyways thats what Im going to be doing in 2 weekends from now...well actually like 3 weeks. I dont really know nor do I care!!! ITS GOING TO BE A BLAST!

This subject that Im getting ready to talk about makes me sad to the point where I just want to scream and cry my eyes out. Ok here goes. My brother just finished up his Fresman year at UNC Chapel Hill. He has fallen in with the wrong crowd. He is into smoking weird substances and partying into the wee hours of the night....sometimes the wee hours of the morning as well! He has stopped believing in the way he was brought up....through Christ. He doesnt know where he stand on his religious basis anymore. Personally I believe its his girlfriend who has changed him completely. She is Palistinian and I dont know the religious beliefs they have but I dont think she has the same ones we do. He very seldomly goes to church when hes home form college because Saturday nights get a little to crazy for him and he cant wake up in time. He is getting ready to go off to Mexico and study abroad for school. I just hope he doesnt get kicked out because of him being a rebel! Although I drealy love my brother and would do anything for him, I think about him constantly and I pray that he will be ok. Last night I was talking to my dad at dinner, just the two of us, and I told him how worried I am of Garrett. He said well he may have made some bad decisions but nothing will ever change about him. I was just thinking to myself....God I hope I dont get in with te wrong crowd at East Carolina because I love the life I have now and I dont want to change it. I love the relationship I have with christ and I dont want anyone to change that for me. I just hope that Garrett gets to Mexico and see's how bad his life could be if he continues to live like he is living. Maybe him and his girlfriend being apart will help him discover his old self. I can only hope and pray.

As you know this past Sunday was Mother's Day. My mothers day was very good. We got up and went to church on Sunday and then after that we came home and ate Steak, Sweet Potato stuff, green beans, roll and cake! My moms friends came over to join us and my brothers girlfriend because he mom and dad live in Rome! We all ate together and had a good time then we headed for Lake Wylie to deliver some furniture to my parents friends new house. We loaded up the trailor and truck and headed down there. Once we got there we unloaded the furniture and then just relaxed and enjoyed each others company. I havent seen these people since I was about 5 years old...and I got to see their daughter for the first time since we were 5. She andd my brother are the same age and they both just finished their Freshman year at college. SHe goes to Clemson and Garrett goes to UNC CHapel Hill, although Alex wants to transfer into Chapel Hill. While we were there, a news bullitin came over the T.V. It said that a tornado was headed directly towards Westport....yes thats where I live too! It was the first time Denver had ever been on the T.V. It was exciting! SO we watched that and then we just went on talking and eating and laughing. We didnt end up leaving there until around 8 or so and so once we got home I went upstairs and practically was so tired I just dropped right there and slept! But anyways, my moms mothers day was awesome and she really like the gifts I got her. We had a good time with just friends and family. It was very laid back!

What my weekend is going to consist of....um well not a lot. Some how I dont have to work at all this weekend which is great! Im going to go to Relay for Life tonight and walk around the track in memory of my Aunt who died of cancer when I was in the 6 th grade. I will be there a while tonight with most of my friends from different schools. Saturday morning I will wake up and not do anything...maybe read my book for this class! Then later on in the afternoon Im going to work on a project for church with my friend Abby. Later on that night I think Im going to meet up with Evan and go to the movies and get my mom and mothers day gift! I really want to see a lot of movies so its going to be hard to decide which movie Im going to see. On Sunday...its mothers day so I guess I have to be nice to my mom for a change....Just Kidding! We are going to be in Charlotte with my parents friends and I guess we are going to catch up on old times! So there is my weekend in a nutshell! Hope everyone enjoys theirs!

So I really dont know what to talk about because I have already talked about my life. I have talked about a childhood memory, where I work, where I live, what I want to be when I grow up, graduation, prom. You name it I have talked about it. I guess I could talk about my year and how it has gone! My senior year didnt turn out too bad. It flew by and if I could I would probably try to slow it down some....NOT! I know once I get to college Im going to miss high school and the small amount of work but Im not going to miss the lack of freedom or drama! Drama has been actually pretty good so far this year! Surprise surprise! Ok so I just wen to post my entry and it failed and so all that I had is gone now. I was a lot longer than this. Im mad! So pretty much what I said was mothers day is this Sunday and I got my mom a lot of stuff cause Im a senior and Im going off to college so I need to rack up in the brownie points while Im still here. Wow my previous message was a lot better than this one!
