Going down the Rabbit Hole...

HEYYYY!

It's been a long while since I've had a blog, or have done online journals at all. But since this is my LAST year of High School, I thought it would be a good way to express my thoughts and the experiences I go through this year! That way I can always look back in years to come and see how much I've changed.

I haven't had much luck with keeping up with these things. But I am very determined to try my hardest!

Recap:

This summer has been one of the best I've had! I finished school in time to have a couple good solid months of summer hang out time.

It all started with the end of my final year in Pure Fashion (www.purefashion.com) and the hectic week of the 2009 NCFCA Regionals (www.ncfca.org). We're joining a new club this year that's very competitive and 45 mins away. Whoo. Go us!
The Premiere of 'The Sword' was held as well. A very awesome night!! We all got dressed up and rolled out the red carpet. Later that night we had an after party with lots of dancing, cake, and really good chicken fingers. :D
April was one of the toughest months of the year. We probably spent a week at home the entire month! Talk about busy. But it was fun and I am TOTALLY ready for year 2009-10!





My little sister left in June for a 6 week mission trip in Washington D.C and I suddenly found myself an only child. :P We had a surprise going away party for her which was way fun, and then we sent her off the next day. It was a little odd/sad in the beginning, and I missed her, but it wasn't as bad as I thought. I had a lot of free and quiet time! She came back at the end of July and all was back to before.



As Laura was gone I saw more and more of my Pointy Stick Productions family. We went to Alabama where we had a booth for 'The Sword' and sold our DVD's and my dear friends account of our Film Group's journey in the novel 'Dancing Like David'. It was a fun three days! I rode up with my friend Zach, his mom, his brother Nick, Aaron, and Lauren. We had the party car. ;) We spent our time at the convention center, staying up late playing random games and running through the streets of Birmingham at ten o'clock at night singing 'over the rainbow' very loudly. (Okay, so that was only Lauren and I doing that...) And It was here where I really learned how to use my camera! I love it to death now, more than I already did because I actually know how to USE it!






My friend Alva from CO came for a week in July. We went to the GA aquarium which was amazing. We got to see everything there and the Titanic exhibit. (which was one of my favorite parts except for the Jelly Fish. They were 1st in my book. ;P) We also spent July 4th with friends eating a good meal and playing around with sparklers!









We ended the summer with a BIG BOYLE BASH! With a bunch of friends, loud music, good food, and a small fire at the end. :) It was very fun and exactly how I thought it would be and we hope to do it again!

This year I've seen a lot of graduations and birthdays, I've met people and I've said goodbyes. I've given up things to experience new ones. I'm sad it's over, but the memories will be with me for AGES! And I am so excited for this year!

This year I'm dual enrolling at Clayton State's satellite campus. So I'm getting some college courses out of the way at the same time with my high school classes. It's really fun!

I'm also still working at Charming Charlie which I love! It's my first job and I've been at it for about three + months.

My schedule is PACKED with two college classes and 5 at 'home' classes! Plus work, and biking three times a week (my goal), and any recreation I get squeeze in. ;) PUMPED! WHOO!
