graduation thoughts

oh baby. let me just tell you this week has been an emotional roller coaster. i've been so sad, so empty feeling, and full of anxiety. i've also been super happy and embracing the moment. i am so sad to graduate! i LOVEDDDDDD high school. every single year i loved. i can't get over how much i loved high school. and then this year, oh man! it was filled of fun. i wish i didn't stress so much about college, but still. applying to colleges, homecoming, Christmas break which i completely forget what i did haha, going to chicago, senior events, belize/guatemala, senior ball, sadies, dances, plays, new classes, meeting new people, embracing being a senior... ahhh to many things to say! but this week is the first week in my whole life where i have FINALLY understood the true meaning of cherishing every moment. i am such a go getter kind of person that i am looking forward to everything in front of me, which is good, but i guess i don't always embrace whats right in front of my eyes. i'm not even kidding i cried soo hard on tuesday and told meghan she'd always be my best friend, hugged mrs. mac and told her how great she was, and cried to melanie about how much i loved high school. its the first time where i am cherishing every SINGLE moment. i thought i already did that, but something hit me and i'm embracing it so much more. i have th ebest friends anyone could ever ask for. we went to sweet tomatoes today after finals.. our tradition haha and haven't broke it all of high school ahh it was our last, and we were just laughing sooo hard about all our fun memories and sharing stories that some of us never knew, and i was looking around at tables of people and i realized how blessed i am to have friends where we get along SOOO well and have fun ALL the time! no matter what. man i'm skipping around. but this week has also been sad because everyone has been pulling the "its the last time i'm going to..." kind of lines. soo sad. and my teachers were so good! ahh so sad. anyways tomorrow is graduation. and thats going to be exciting and sad too. and then grad night! i'm so glad we are having grad night to finish it off @ clubsport, oh baby, so fun! i have been so blessed in high school and to be apart of foothill. i am SO glad i was involved and made sure i got to know lots of different people. i love the class of 2007!!

senior ball!!!!!!!!!! and other fun things.

man i haven't used this in soo long, but a lot has happened!!! okay so all in the beautiful month of may i had the oppertunity to go to NYC, which was amazing! i went on senior adventure weekend which was a blast.. i'll post pictures! and then june came along and it was senior ball! oh man! senior ball was the time of my life, no joke. it was soo much fun. i went with matt terres, who was such a good date haha. man he loves dancing. the day started out by waking up, going on a run around 11,
getting my hair done at 1, pati doing my makeup around 3.. and then matt getting me and busting to pictures around 4! it was not stressful at all! when we went to melanies to take pictures, i could not stop laughing! for some reason pictures were so much fun and me and matt looked so good haha jk.
but we matched good and rebecca made a really good corsage for me! my dress ahh i loved my dress. it was so fun wearing it because it felt so me. lauren, deej, tony, laura, and lynn came to take pictures of us too! we went to the school, and took pictures and i really hope our picture turns out alright haha because i'm sure i was laughing when he took it. then we went to tiffanys got in the limo and busted to san fran! once we got to the galleria i was in awe! it was sooo beautiful!!!! the food was so freaeking good and we ate on the 3rd level. there was a buffet on every single level. after we ate we danced the night away! one word to describe it all: EPIC. it was epic haha. every song was so good and high top was sooo fun! we loved him. hes the best dj hands down. matt loves dancing, everyone in my group loves it, so therefore it made it a trillion times more exciting. the class of 07 was all united and everyone was just dancing with eachother. we swing danced, went dumb haha, and just had fun. i say we danced for a good 3 and a half hours. at the end of the dance i was really sad because i wanted it to be longer haha. but around the last song they dropped all the balloons from the ceiling and it was sooo exciting! best dance ever. then we went to senior breakfast after ball, which was good! then we went to brads and went hot tubbing/swimming/hung out/watched a movie. over i had a blast and will never forget it! it went perfect! the lord totally blessed that night beyond belief!!! the next day on sunday we had the awards banquet at VBC. it was so encouraging. i already felt the tears coming once i walked through the door. it has been such a blessing to be apart of the vbc high school ministry. everyone is my second family. its nuts.
i am going to miss everyone so much when i'm at school next year, but good thing friend ships last a life time haha... well the ones i have better haha. the letters were super encouraging and sometimes i wonder if people know that i don't always laugh, haha because everyone wrote that. but it was great!!! the lord is good and man he just has overflowed joy into my heart!! and now for some pictures haha.
