Reality is kicking in!

I will not mention any names but it has been brought to my attention numerous times

by a dear sister of my mine that I love oh so much,

*cough* Brittany Nicole Sumner *cough*

that I haven't posted every day like I said I would.

I know I know! I have failed miserably at my daily post in my 75 days of Summer series.

I'm sorry! Things have just gotten so busy here and once Harmony Highlands passed,

I wanted to be able to sit and write all about it but I kept putting it off till eventually more and more things were happening that is was way too much to even begin to try and post about! haha.

But with summer coming to an end very shortly I have a very harsh and sudden reality check that

yes indeed I am a senior and right now I am experiencing my last summer of true freedom. :(

I have very mixed emotions about my senior year.

I am so excited about all the fun senior events that are going to happen and the football games and pep rallys and senior bonfire.

But I also am not looking forward to walking across that stage and getting my diploma and posing for that cheesy picture with the principal and then stepping out into the real world.

I've always looked forward to graduating with great anticipation as I grew up watching my sister and 2 of my cousins walk across the same stage that I would walk across one day.

But I got to tell ya now that its here I'm kinda scared!

It all kinda hit me recently when I was talking to my best friend about senior year and everything. She got talking about college and all the stuff she had to do in order to get into the college she wanted to, SMU in Dallas, Texas. I suddenly realized holy crapp in a very short time we are graduating and life isnt going to be all about friday night football games! Things are going to change completely. & my best friend who I have always been able to rely on for the past two years isnt going to be just a 15 minute drive away if I need to her to make those awesome break up cookies she makes! :P All the sudden I just broke down in tears thinking about everything changing and not being able to see my close friends every day!

I realize this is all part of growing up but gosh darn it why does it all have to happen so fast?

So I guess all this to say yeah although I love to say "Gosh I cant wait to be done with high school and out of the drama!" (which I'm sure all of you have heard me say on numerous occasions haha) I really am going to miss high school so much and the people that I have grown to know and love the past 4 years. So with that being said I havent forgotten about you dear bloggers! Although senior year is going to be crazy hectic I will try my best to post as much as possible!

But my advice to you if you really want to be in the "IN" crowd get a facebook! haha *Cough* Brittany! *Cough* hahah Love you B!

I will leave you with a very short recap of my summer with a picture from each event. :)

Love yall!

Day 9: 75 Days of Summer

Harmony Highlands is the best week out of the whole entire year!

Sunday is the day I will be seeing all the awesome people I have missed oh so much in the past year at Harmony Highlands!!

I have finally finished packing for Harmony Highlands!

I'm just a tad bit excited about HH! I mean come on who wouldnt be??

So needless to say I wont be posting blogs daily next week due to me spending the most awesome week of the whole year with the most awesome people in the whole entire universe!! (:

(If ya cant tell I'm just a little excited!!)

Day 8: 75 days of Summer

I spent the morning packing stuff for 'Bama with Mom. We also finished my gator blanket that momma has been working on and then I went to an FCA end of the year party with Aaron. We had alot of fun! Me and Aaron played pool and that was very interesting! haha I had never played pool before so he had to teach me how to play and we will just say it was my first time and leave it at that! hahaha. :P Then I came home and packed some more! haha. (:

Day 7: 75 Days of Summer!

Today I went over to Abby and Jeffrey's house to hang out for a little bit. They are leaving to go up to Michigan tomorrow morning and Jeffrey will only be gone for a week but Abby will be up there for 3 weeks so we wanted to hang out just one more time before she left! (As if we arent always with each other! hahah) We just chilled and I helped her finish packing her stuff and helped Aaron pack up his stuff! haha. I discovered that it is very interesting and entertaining to help a 7 year old boy pack! haha NOTHING matches and he wants to wear pants when it's so hott outside! (: I love that boy!

After I left their house I came back home and did some more packing for 'Bama and helped Momma finish up the Gator blanket she is making me for next week! (: Tonight I just got back from going to church with Aaron. It was really great! Mrs KC talked about how we need to "strip" everything away that is keeping us from building up a strong relationship with God. (:

Only 2 more days till I leave for Alabama!! I'm pretty excited! ;)

Day 5 & 6: 75 days of Summer!

Yesterday was another errand day! Me and Momma are headin to Alabama next week for Harmony Highlands! So I had to go clothes shopping for some new clothes! (: Momma was starting to freak out because I had yet to start packing anything for next week. haha. I like to live on the fly and do things at the very last minute ya know?? haha

I spent the day with my little man Paul! I love babysitting him and playing with him! I love the age he is at right now, he is old enough where he can interact with you and get around by himself but before that oh so wonderful terrible two's! He is such ham and is so stinkin' cute! The scary thing is he knows it! haha. After I got done babysitting I went to go get my haircut! It has been forever since I have gotten it cut! I am deff happy to say goodbye to my long hair and hello to nice cool short hair for the summertime! (:

Day 3 & 4: 75 Days of Summer!

Saturday was basically spent "covering up what we did the day before", as Momma likes to say. We also visited Granny in the hospital and then Daddy got off work and we went to the Childers to drop stuff off that they left at the house and wound up staying over there for like an hour haha Saturday was pretty uneventful!

(This is a picture from a month ago but i love it)

Sunday was great as always because I was blessed to get to go to church and see all the members and fellowship with them and see how there week has been. It is a truly amazing feeling knowing that you have such a unified body of people as your support system that are always there for you!

Day 1 & 2: 75 days of summer!

So I'm going to try a new thing on my blog where I post a short little paragraph about what happened in my day and a picture to go with it! I got the idea from the "365 project" that is the new fad on facebook these days! I figured I would be more likely to find time to post if I knew that all I was posting was a short paragraph rather than my usual 5 paragraph essay! hahah jk So I am going to start out this summer and see how well I can keep up with it and if I can then I will probably continue it on through the school year! (:

Thursday was the 1st day of summer. We ran some errands the main part of the day and got stuff for my party and then we went up to the hospital to visit Granny (she was admitted into the hospital on Monday, the same day that I was in the ER because of my foot, if you dont know the story about my foot then look on facebook or just ask me, because she had pnuemonia which later turned into the flu but she is out of the hospital now and doing better). Then we came back home just in time to leave and go with Jeffrey to my best friend Katie's summer party. (: We had alot of fun and played BS, which I will add I won the first two games but then everybody caught on to me and realized I was lying so the next round they started calling me out! haha. After the party me and Rey went to his house to pick up Abby and then came back to my house so Abby could spend the night and help decorate my cake for my party. We pulled an all-nighter decorating the cake. Then finally around 1 we finished and crashed on the couch! (:

On Friday, we got up and started getting ready for the party. Jeffrey came over and helped set up the slip-n-slide and all that fun stuff. Before we knew it it was party time! We had a great time swimming, playing the Wii and going on the slip-n-slide, which proved to be very interesting for me due to my foot because I didnt want to risk hurting it more. hahah. We all started getting hungry and tired after all the swimming and running around so we got out and had cake and ordered pizza (I know! I know! We had our meal a little backwards but hey we are only young once right?!?) After we ate we all went inside the house and out of the heat and opened presents and then watched IronMan. Well some of us (well maybe just me haha) took an afternoon nap. I dont know what it is but something about swimming makes me so tired! After most of the people left, Jeffrey pulled out his new prized posession his AirSoft gun. He lvoes that thing and brought it over because he knew Papa Bear would love shooting it. We made a target and away we went. Rey and Dad fired off round after round and then I shot the gun and even Momma shot it a few times.
