| Yes, it's been six months since my last entry. I know....it's
sad. But, in my defence, I had to work this summer, pack, move to
a new state, and start a new job. It's been a very trying
time! But anyway, here are the highlights from the past 6 months:
May: Graduated from Asbury. Wow....what a great
accomplishment! I feel like it was just yesterday that I moved
into my first dorm room and met a crazy roommate. Now my roommate
is my mother - more on that later.
June: Worked for my father. He collected the stuff, I sold it on
eBay. All together, not a bad gig. I made good money and
had flexible hours (great for all those trips I made to Kentucky to see
the BF). It was difficult, but I survived.
July: Moved to Chicago! Wow, what a change! I went from a
small town to the mecca! I found a two bed/two bath apartment for
me and my mom. Not a bad place, but it costs an arm and a
leg. Welcome to Chicago.
August: Started my job. Man, that was scary. Going from
school to work...let me tell you, that is a challenge. No one
told me it was going to be this hard, or that I was going to miss my
friends this much. Not to mention, BF is still in Kentucky.
During this time, my mom decided it would be a great idea to leave me
and go on a 3 week vacation to see her family. I don't mind, but
gee, that was scary to be here all alone! Well, not ALL
alone....BF did come to stay with me my first week of work. What
a sweetie. :)
September: No highlights. I worked and slept. That's about it.
October: More of the same. Made a few trips to Kentucky, BF made
a few here. Two friends came to visit also! I loved having
them all here....The people in Chicago are really nice, but, it's very
difficult to make friends here. Everyone is so busy and so
focused on fulfilling their dreams, they don't really have time to make
new friends. If you're not on the inside, it's difficult to get
there. Oh, and mom got a job.
November: So far, it's been an interesting month. Still working,
though it still frustrates the heck out of me. Still working on
making friends - again, it's a difficult process. Mom is still
working - though not for long. She's put in her resignation, and
has an interview on Monday. Also, her dad passed away on
Thursday. It's been difficult for her. I'm okay....it's a
little sad, but, I didn't really know him. Anyway, the holiday's
are coming up, so that will be a ncie break. I'm going to West
Virginia with the BF to meet all his extended family (AHHHHH!). I
hope they like me. BTW, we've been together for over 6
months! My longest relationship EVER. :) Mom is going
to Ohio for Thanksgiving to be with my dad's side of the family.
That should be - interesting. I think, overall, it will be good
for her.
So, that's pretty much it. I know I said I would put up more
pictures, but, lets be honest; I'm tired (and lazy), so I wouldn't
expect anything soon. I suppose if I get really hounded about it,
I would put up a few, but, I'm not sure anyone actually uses xanga
anymore (now that we all have facebook). Oh well....that's the
way the cookie crumbles, right???? BTW, the BF's name is
Elliott. He's such a cutie. :)

| I am now an official Graduate of Asbury College. Go me!
It's weird to think about...It is just now starting to hit me.
I've already cried once tonight when I talked to Wyman...I really hope
that it's true what they say...the friends you make in college are the
ones you make for life. I will miss them all very, very
much.
Anyway, here's a really cute pic from grad...
I'll add more pics later....all in all, it was a great day. I love you all!

| Oh, Jr/Sr was a week ago now, and we have some pretty cute pictures! Here are just a few...
Here's me and the bf....Isn't he a cutie?
And one of me and Bahar...
And finally, GQ boy....He looks familiar, doesn't he?

| Well, there is now only one week to graduation.
Unbelievable! I can't believe I actually made it...wow. And
I have alot of mixed emotions about the whole thing. I mean, yes,
I'm excited to be leaving...it's time for something new. On the
other hand, though, it's scary and sad. I'm really going to miss
all the people here. I had a grad party tonight for the Business
Major Seniors, and it was just really nice. Our professors came
out and said nice things about us and gave us books that will change
our lives. We discussed what we would miss and how we are going
to change the world. It's exciting to think about! I'm glad
that I'm not in control of my life...God has a much better plan than I
could ever dream up; I just pray that I'm aware enough to recognize His
leading. I don't want to miss the bus...
Anyway, so yeah, exciting times. I'm trying to spend quality time
with everyone before I leave. You know, this week would be so
much easier without all these stupid finals! Oh well....I love
you all!

| Sigh....just 38 days till graduation. That's it. Things are
starting to wind down and yet speed up, all at the same time.
This is my last week of tumbling...ever. We have Jym Jam on
Friday and Saturday, and then it's all over. Part of me will be
happy when its over.....I'm tired and my body hurts. But, I'll
miss it....I'll miss the team. And then there are my other
friends.....just 38 more days to create memories, then most of them I
will never see again. It's really sad to think about.....I'm
preparing myself for it, though. Trying to, at least, though I
doubt you can ever really prepare yourself for stuff like this.
I'd like to think that we would remain friends, but, well, you know
what distance does....out of sight, out of mind, right? Oh
well....I guess that's life.
Love you all.
