SENIOR YEAR!

WOW! So much has gone on since I last updated this thing! Where do I even begin?! I guess I'll just start with the highlights of the last couple of months...

Homecoming was AMAZING this year! Definitely a good week to add to amazing things that happened during my Senior year! I still feel incredibly weird that I'm a Senior! I feel like I should still be a freshman!!! LOL I can already hear half of you saying "I'm surprised you even made it this far!" Don't worry, you're not alone on that thought! ;) he he. But in all seriousness I really feel weird! Soon I'll be applying for colleges and setting off to start my life. I think reality is finally starting to open my eyes and I am learning new things each and every day. There are days I wake up and look around myself in this moment, town, home, and I think "I just want to go out and start LIVING! Making my own choices, taking on new responsibilities, and everything else that comes with living on your own.

Then there are those days that I wake up and I look in the mirror and feel horrified that I'm only another day closer to being out into the world on my own. hundreds of thoughts race through my mind and I appreciate every single moment I have here at home with my parents and feel so grateful for everything they do for me all day. I know that I'm going to miss them both terribly when the time comes for me to actually leave, but I know it'll all be for the best.

Something else that kind of frazzles my brain is the fact that in like 3 or 4 years I could be getting married and starting a family, and honestly I still feel like a little kid who half the time doesn't have a clue of whats going on. Hopefully the rest of my Senior year I can figure out what I need to start doing and thing I need to start thinking about to prepare myself for a better future.

....LOL so anyways....Homecoming was seriously amazing! I was in the Homecoming pageant and was crowned Miss Congeniality~! It was one of the most memorable things that has happened so far this year! My dad got to walk me out onto the football field and everything! I am seriously going to treasure that forever! :) <3

We opened for Little Shop Of Horrors Wednesday night! It was pretty good all in all! I've had a blast working on it and pretending I'm "somewhat" black! Ha ha! It's been another great experience I can add on to "Amazing things that have happened during my senior year list." I've loved getting to know people in the cast better and hanging out and laughing with old friends there as well! Our last performance is Monday night! I'm actually sad it'll be over, and almost relieved at the same time! I can finally calm back down and give all my attention to school and applying for college.

October has seriously been one of the most stressful and hard months so far this year! I'm glad I've gotten through it in one piece! :) Hope everyone has a happy Halloween! Love YA! :)
