so i've taken the time to read back over some posts from my old website (it's so pathetic i won't even bother posting the link) and i realized how annoying and whiney i was. all i did was make posts about boys and wanting to leave wilmington and how i cried about really stupid things. it made me laugh and kinda stand back and look at how i've changed. now granted i'm still annoying and whiney sometimes but i don't cry and think i'm in love with every boy and talk about how badly i want to leave. while i don't really feel like i've grown up or matured looking at those old posts show me that i have. it's scary and exciting all at the same time!!
in other news, i forgot abut something cute one of my sunbeams did!! i have a picture of my dad as my book mark in my scriptures (thanks sister thorup!) and when i got my scriptures out ryan took the picture and said "i love this picture!"...why are children so cute?!

as you are aware, my feelings are very bi-polar about this college thing....today i am feeling excited. on facebook i see pictures and comments from people and i'm REALLY happy i won't have to see half of them ever again! i'm excited to meet new people, i'm excited to spend more time with jenn, i'm excited to FINALLY HIKE THE "Y", i'm excited to learn in a place centered around the church, i'm excited to learn.
august 25th feels forever away.
but it's not...

no, YOU'RE WRONG colonel sanders!
so i'm the sunbeams teacher at church and they're notorious for sweet compliments. today when ryan came in he sat down next to me and immediately said "i love your dress! it's beautiful! i love flowers! i like to smell them!"
it was THE CUTEST thing ever. maybe being the sunbeams teacher isn't so bad after all.

you think you're too cool for school
ya know, it's super annoying when people think they're cooler than they are. you know, when the kid rolls up beside you at the stoplight, wearing the aviators, blasting 107.5 with the windows down....or when all their facebook statuses are about things they think are cool and want everyone to know they're doing "cool" things. and the "i'm too cool" attitude is getting real old real quick.
for all those kids who think they're too cool, you're not. you're not cool. you're obnoxious and it's obvious you're trying way too hard.

busy, busy, busy!
so i know i haven't blogged in awhile but that's because my life has been busy!! here's a list of things that have happened in the past couple weeks:
-i fell in love (again) with my job at gymboree and am really in love with the two pay checks i get every other week
-i turned 18! i don't feel much different really..it makes me kind of sad to not be 17 anymore...nothing big really happened while i was 17 but it's just a nice middle-ground kinda age to be at and i already miss it...one year older and wiser too? hopefully...
-i've been to the beach more times this past week than i went all last summer. josh loves to boogie board and is always a good sport at the beach. last time we went we saw 15 dolphins about 20 feet away and it was so scary/cool. i can't wait to go more and hope josh keeps loving it as much as i do.
-i had to drive across town with a semi-flat tire. okay, it really wasn't that flat but it was leaking air and i was terrified to drive over 45. luckily i made it to the tire place safely and Vicki now has 4 fresh new wheels and is aligned better (so the steering wheel doesn't shake when you go over 50 mph! yay!)
-i've realized how much i enjoy getting mail. almost everyday now i've gotten a graduation card in the mail and it's AWESOME!! i think i should send out a graduation announcement to my friends and family every year in hopes of rackin' up the dough like i am now...
-i've realized i should probably save my money
-i don't want to save my money and will probably spend it all on food
-i've realized how much i love my family. jennifer surprised me thursday morning by flying home for graduation so for the past few days it has been our whole family. she's a great example and sister to me and i can't wait to see her all the time in this next year when i get out to utah!
and perhaps the most important/impressive thing i did these past couple weeks:
-i graduated high school. yesterday was such a nice day. i thought i was going to be sad and was skeptical about wearing mascara that wasn't waterproof but i didn't cry at all. i was more happy than sad and know that most of us are going off to college to have the time of our lives which is happy, not sad. my whole family plus pop and papa jerry came to support me and the weekend was full of hugs. afterwards me and jenn went to hibachi for lunch then went over to josh's house to have a get together with all of our families. i was worried it might be sort of awkward but it was really fun and i didn't want to go home. i still can't believe i graduated already and don't know how ready i'm going to be for this whole "college" thing. all i know is that i'm having the time of my life right now and i'm going to make this summer rock.
