Getting so close and turning over a new leaf...

School has begun. Fall is right around the corner, and I couldn't be more excited. Unfortunately the weather of the school year has been less than pleasurable though. Its been rainy and cold. BUT...my Joe is back, I played some volleyball today, and Ang has been my own personal trainer :) This is going to be a good year! So my goal for this year is to take chances, do things I've never done, and maybe even things I've never wanted to do. I'll try to post each day that I do something worth telling. But right now I'll play catch-up.


Yesterday: Slip & Slide on Mt. Beebe...not the greatest experience, was pretty fun until the bottom where there was a rocky mud pit. Mud would have been fine, rocky-not so much.

Today: Played in my first beginning of the year Block Party. We lost at volleyball...we were quite rusty. But we went and played in Dunckel for a while and it was pretty fun. I feel like there was something else, but I can't remember it now.

Longing

I'm loving the summer weather, the lack of school work, but that's about it. I'm longing for everything the fall brings. Friends. Leaves. Cider. Sweaters. Home.

less than 24....

I'll be heading to Greece in less than 24 hours. I'll be somewhere over the Atlantic in 24 hours...and shortly after...arrival in GREECE! I'm packed and ready and my luggage is not quite 50 40 pounds. Yay for souvenir space! I'll keep you all posted while in Greece! Check out my other blog...http://fromgreecewithlovebri.blogspot.com/

eh...

yesterday, I did not get on here. I spent time with my sister, watched Fast Five, went bowling, and came home to watch the other fast and furious movies backward. Then we had a sleepover.

Today we went shopping yay! I spent too much money! No yay!

The beginning.

I'm home. Its nice. My goal is to post every time I have access to internet this summer in at least in some way. Tonight, I'm tired. Tomorrow, I'll sleep in. The next week (less than that!) is going to be CRAAAAZAY as I unpack from school and repack for Greece. But for now unwinding is the name of the game. No more yellow cards. No more fines. No more. No more. Yay for sleep. Yay for sun. Yay for summer.

Emergency Rooms

So, I'm sitting here in the Allegiance Hospital ER, not for me, but for someone else. When I was asked to drive, I was kind of thinking how much of a nuisance it was, I had an assignment due at 5 and there was no way we were going to get back in time to turn it in (and we're not..). But since being here, I really realized that its all in how you look at it. I've had peace and quiet here. Well, not necessarily complete quiet, but I got my homework done, no distractions, and that truly is a blessing.

I'm starting to wonder...

Do clouds really have silver linings? I guess its all in the way you look at things. You have to decide when to stop trying because trying really isn't enough any more. You have to decide whether a friendship is worth fighting for. If you're on the other end, you have to decide whether or not to wish someone happiness or to harbor bitterness against them and not forgive. I'm all for forgiving. I'm ready to move on with my life. I want to have friends and live life like a normal person. I'm ready to give things a second chance. Time was all that was needed, but apparently the friendship wasn't important enough to give time and a little bit of frustration to. All relationships have their big fights, right?

My day has been full of ups and downs, and the downs always follow the ups by about five minutes. Dang life. The question of a fast forward button comes to mind right now. Would I use it right now?? Or would my life be lost if I used it? I'm thinking that it sounds wonderful, I'm what I would call distraught right now. But then I think about the cause of all my problems with my friends, Joe. He is worth my time and my life, and I wouldn't say he's worth my friendships, but I feel like that's what people think I believe. Just everyone's left me here, but he's stayed by my side. And he is the reason I wouldn't use that fast forward button.
