so this weekend is the end. it is the end of my high school experiences, and the beginning of so much more. monday i leave for college. oklahoma city, here i come. it is so weird to think that i'm going to have to find ALL new friends, because really, i know no one there. it is almost exciting, but mainly frightening. i guess it's always nice to have a fresh start.

this week has really been a trying week. i feel like i am losing so many friends, in more ways than one. with will's passing, it has just been so apparent how short life really is. it has been a rough week seeing people i haven't seen in months, knowing after today, i might never see them again. it is sort of a daunting thought. but i guess this is all part of life.

as much as i am loathing the move and unpacking, it is part of life and i should be more positive about it. it is just hard to leave your best friends. i think the hardest will be leaving my best friend. he is taking it pretty hard. i'm a terrible friend making him take me to the airport on his 21st birthday.

on a more positive note, my classes sound amazing. i do not have one class that isn't relevant to my major. YAY! finally i'll be doing what i've dreamed of, or at least be on the path there. and i know i'll meet friends, but it is a little intimidating. i am pretty excited to go shopping for dorm stuff when i get down there though. i have my comforter and all that fun stuff, but i still need some more! i am also excited about my plane ride and the fact that i get to do it all by myself. lol. i like the flight to oklahoma though. it will be a nice chance to have some "me" time. however, i do need to read an entire book before i get there, so i'll probably be stuck working on that.

anyhow. my weekend... tonight i am going to the phillie's game. i have some kick butt seats for nick's birthday. i'm sure we will have a blast! it is always a good time when i get to stare at howard all night. saturday i am going to a family wedding. that will be a nice visit with family i haven't seen in SO long. then i take kfil to the airport to send her back to ohio. then saturday night, who knows? fight for my attention, it is my last free night! then sunday is my final packing (feel free to stop in!), dinner with my mother, and then the beautiful jami and i will be spending some quality time at night. then monday morning is D-day!  maybe i'll leave an update when i get there. but until then, take care. love you all.

so i am officially and ephrat-ian (?).

i thought it only proper to do a mini update with some pictures.

i graduated recently.

i am now moving on to oklahoma city university.

here's the joke... that's actually CCM - i'm not going there. but i didn't have a picture of me at oklahoma, so haha. here's my dorm...

after graduation i did like most seniors do, and hit up senior week. however, first i took a 5 day vacation to OBX with Nick and his family. however, those pics are unavailable at this time. see back later to view them.

then michelle got married this past weekend.

and my lovely sister and daddy...

so that's all i have for my photo update. hope you all have a wonderful week!

I love summer.

So today the insanity starts. Mom is getting married today. I'm happy for her. She deserves this.

Next week I graduate, officially. Or maybe I officially did in Jan. but now I'm just walking. Either way, it will be fun.

Then, Smith Family Vacation!! We're off to Duck, NC for a week. However, I'll be leaving after 6 days to go see my girls at...

SENIOR WEEK!! I'll be there for 3 days of fun with my best girls.

Then back to the madness for some more bridal fun that week for Michelle's wedding. So that weekend Michelle will get hitched. YAY!

Then back to reality. No more wedding madness. More time for summer relaxation and lots of trips to NYC with Nick.

Random Side Note: I went to a Phillies game with Nick. It was a blast. There will probably be more of those coming up this summer, too. I just hope they don't let that dude Franklin pitch, because he sucked and that upset Nick.

But for now, I will go shopping because I need to buy a dress before tonight! AH!!!!

HAPPY SUMMER!

P.S. I had my first NYC Callbacks last week. How exciting!!!

wow. so i'm getting super, super nervous these days.

i feel very displaced lately. my mom is getting married. michelle is getting married. and i have to move, but i don't know where. i guess up to my dads, but only until i go to college. another issue, college. i am so nervous about going. 20 hours. 20 HOURS!! i think i am getting cold feet. i don't want to leave nick. i don't want to not be able to come home when i want to. i am just pretty much stressed out in general. oh well, i guess this is growing up.
