I decided where I'm going to college.....and....I am going to LIBERTY UNIVERSITY!!!

Liberty is in Lynchburg, Virginia...about 6 1/2 hours away from Greenfield..and like 10 hours away from my sister ... So i probably wont be back to Greenfield much.  There is a ton of stuff to do in Lynchburg. I love big cities!  

I will be moving in 4 months..wow. I am excited!! But i dont want it to come too soon. I wanna spend some time with my kiki and others this summer.

STEPH-- 2 more weeks and you will be DONE with your second year of college..congrats girl!!!  I cant wait to talk to you about Liberty!

                 This is a big sign in a builing at LU

The week coulda been better, but Friday and Saturday were a blast!

Friday- The school day was great! Beautiful balloons, pretty roses, great drawing, and a warm shirt = a great birthday-eve.

Friday night I worked at a middle school dance for Annual Staff. Kiki and I worked at the concession stand (most of the time sneaking the cookies..) then towards the end we wanted to go and dance, but unfortunately we got rejected...more than once! haha.

Saturday was my 18th birthday. I went to Columbus w/ my family and Kiki, Kara, and Tamrya. On the way up we jammed with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, and it was nice, of course. We ate at the House of Japan. It was great. They cooked in front of us, and I even got to show off my skill of egg-flipping, or something like that! They brought out a pineapple with a sparkler in it for my bday! It was good stuff.

After we ate, we went to Polaris and walked around the mall for a couple hours...then came to my house where they surprised me with an ice-cream cake!! (and strawberries n chocolate for kiki). I opened up my presents, then Tamrya, Jeff, and Kara left. A lil later Michael and Tati came over...and we watched embarrassing home videos of me when i was little... and when i danced slutty as kiki said. I dunno where i learned all that..

Kiki and i had a wonderful time later on last night..balloon sword fights...taking random gangsta pictures...just being really crazy and dumb, of course!

She stayed till about 11:30....and Tati and Michael stayed till 12:30.

This was pretty much the best birthday ever!

I had a wonderful day, with wonderful people!!!

My gangsta birthday party

I dont normally write posts like this, but i need to get something out.

I wish my family really knew who I am. According to them, I'm a horrible girl heading in the wrong direction. I never do anything right. I never hear an encouraging word from them, especially lately. It has been hard just to even look at them because I know i'll be hurt. I wish they only knew how i live my life and how i stand for my beliefs, in and out of school. If only they could talk to my friends and see how I live and how I don't let others change that part of me. Maybe one day my family will see how I have touched the lives of others, then maybe they would treat me differently. Either way, I know all these tears and hurtful things are happening for a reason. Until then, I'm not going to let them bring me down more than they have already. I know where I'm headed, and I know what's important to me, and that's what matters.

Another good weekend!

Kiki, Tamrya and i went to the bball game Friday night...hung out w/ them and brennon and kara and brianna, and some other cool ppl i suppose..Then went to BK and had a good time, of course!!

Saturday night kiki, paul, brennon, and i went to OUC and watched melanie in a talent show. It was fun..like it always is with them!We jammed to britney spears and christina aguilera. I drove, and i wasnt sure where i was going, so they tried to confuse me, and we ended up going the wrong direction in a one-way, doing a u-turn in the middle of a street, and a dead end...but it was cool, i still love them!

Today i went to church..michael came over and hung out for a lil bit...went to g-mas for a surprise bday party for her...talked to my lovely sissy, in which i am gonna go visit sometime soon, hopefully...

Tomorrow = RENT!

TATI-- i know you are busy getting ready for AFRICA, but in case u see this before you leave, I love you and i'll be praying for you!!! xoxoxo
