TMI

I need to write down my summer adventures before I forget (and in case anyone was interested in knowing):

So far this summer, I have been to Ireland, Scotland, England, and France. Newark Airport. Washington, DC. Rock Eagle. And Athens (twice).

I wished that I could go to Spain, Africa, Italy, Australia, China, California, Michigan, Arizona, Alaska, Maine, Mt. Rushmore, the moon/outer space.

I've been to the pool zero times. and twice to the lake (once on a boat). My terrible tan line still needs to be fixed.

I've seen He's Just not that Into you, Made of Honor, the Proposal, Away we Go, and When Harry Met Sally.

I am working at the soccer office answering phones, entering data, handling people's money, and above all, making people feel at ease about spending money on their kids.

I am 99% sure that I'm going to buy a car.

I bought a Wii fit and only used it for 5 days :( I still swear it was the best purchase I ever made.

I'm currently working on overhauling my room. It still needs a lot of work. By overhauling I mean getting rid of junk and dusting.

My sister painted the bathroom and I hate it.

I'm super excited about my living arrangement next year. I bought some super awesome stuff at Walmart. I can't wait.

I failed at keeping theYkid updated even though I'm getting a ton of comments from it.

I am addicted to farmtown, farmville, bejeweled, and my guilty pleasure: sorority life

I recently found some girls of facebook that I went to school with when I was in Nicaragua for a month. Its the craziest feeling to find someone you thought was lost for good.

I still don't like to cook

Relay For Life

Today I had one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. For some strange reason I felt compelled to participate in Relay for Life even though I've never felt like cancer has directly affected me. But while I was there tonight, I thought about all the people I knew that have had cancer or were affected by it. Cancer is a pretty big deal. Cancer doesn't discriminate; I am not immune. And as I walked the silent lap, I thought about how I will probably get cancer sooner or later. But then I also thought... it doesn't have to be that way... that's why we are all here isn't it?

I also thought about how lucky I am to have the people that I have in my life. That I shouldn't take them for granted and that I should live every day to the fullest. Seeing the survivors in the Survivor Lap really touched me... these people are strong and have so much courage. They have been through so much and beat the odds. What challenges have I faced? Have I battled them 100% the way they battled cancer?

This is for all of the people that I don't say "I love you" enough to. You are important in my life and I thank you for being there for me. This semester has certainly been a ride, but things are finally going right. I can't forget what it's like to be at the bottom and take the good times for granted.

If you ever need someone to talk to... I don't care who you are. Please call me and talk to me: 7704909328
