Almost Legal

So its my very last day of being 17 and I'm not really sure that its been a very good day. Its been long and frustrating and a little heart wrenching and a lot upsetting. I'm ready for it to be over but at the same time I'm not sure that I want tomorrow to come. This is my last official day of being a kid. Sure, not much will change tomorrow but I'm not sure how much I like the idea of having to take responsibility and grow up and be an adult. Life is complicated and everyone keeps telling me that it just get less and less simple as it goes on. I think I'd rather get younger than get older. I miss how long days used to seem when I was five and how hot the summer was when I was eight and best friends were best friends no matter what when I was eleven. But I think the two things I miss the most are naps and not having a care in the world. There was always too much time to sleep and no college, no guys, no worries looming over my head. Now that I think about it, I really really miss my mom forcing me to go take a nap after lunch. Back then, it was such a bummer having to go pretend like I was sleeping when all I wanted to do was go play outside. I miss childhood. And even though I'm not 18 yet, childhood is gone already. There is no way to go and get it back. I'll never play with Barbies in the swimming pool or get away with throwing a temper tantrum in the grocery store. That part of my life is gone and in its place is a scary, frustrating, complicated life. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure its great but I'm not sure I'm ready to find out. In fact, I'm really not sure about a lot of things right now. But I guess tomorrow is going to come whether I like it or not. I have no choice but to face it and learn, however slowly, to enjoy it.

Thought this was a fun video to a great song!

Finals!!!

So this week has been a little on the crazy side! I've had finals the last three days and I still have one more day to get through. But there is light at the end of the tunnel... these are the last finals I have to take in high school! However, there has been a highlight to my week! Chipotle, the new Mexican restaurant by Target, gave a sneak preview before their grand opening tomorrow. Me, Leta, and Sam all went yesterday to get some amazing food! It was great...
Its been all the small things that have been so great lately and now that I think about it, I think I like it like that. All it takes sometimes is that one little something that can bring a smile.

SWEETLY BROKEN

Friends, Blessings, or maybe Both

So I have to say that this Christmas break has probably been the best one I've ever had! God has blessed me with so many amazing amazing friends. These last two weeks have been crazy full of so much fun. After the San Diego tournament, the New Year came on really fast. Some girls came over to hang out for the night as we celebrated 2008!Wow... the year I graduate weird! This week has basically been all about hanging out with friends. Did I get anything done that I was supposed to? Of course not... but I had so much fun and made so many memories. I went out to lunch with a few of my dearest friends, I had ten girls come spend the night, I had some great girl talks, and I went twilight bowling. Oh and we got attacked with TP and suran wrap but we were ready with water balloons and hoses!!! I am so thankful for the people God has put in my life. Friends are a blessing they really are and I'm so glad that I got this time to spend with them. Happy Christmas break everyone...
