Hil and I are officially in the lovely sunny state of California!!! and are 10hrs into our road trip. Though a long day, we passed the time by listening to some amazing CD's and gossip, woho! Tomorrow we will meet up with Megan and mom and stay with them for a night before moving into our room on SUNDAY!!!!
I am currently vegging in the Red Lion hotel about to pass out from waking up at 530am this morning, blah! We are both exhausted. But I wanted to update since I took a break over the summer and needed to update :)
My thoughts on being a sophomore:
- so happy to be living somewhere other than a freshman dorm
- get a sink in my room!
- living with HILARY and there are a ton of amazing girls on our floor!
- excited to actually know ppl and not have to start brand new
- RUSH fall 08'!!! jungle theme!
- not being pledge anymore ;)
- (hopefully) taking my first writing workshop... on the waiting list as of now
- nervous about having to decide where to go abroad... planning on it for next fall but have no idea where!!
All in all, I am so so excited to be back on campus and see everyone again!
♥ to...
Megan for making varsity!!
Austin for making squad captain!!!
My family- another year ahead of me... i always miss you guys!! ;)

seahawks game!
One more weekend to go before I head off to school... wow has the summer flown by! On Sunday Liz, Hil, Dani and I all supported our green and blue boys in uniform and went to the first home pre-season game, it was so much fun! Dani was by far the most knowledgeable about the sport however the others of us did our best to follow ;) we also ran into a few other friends and Aunt Romy and Uncle Joe spotted us from across the field with some pretty amazing binoculars i have to say! Traffic was awful but the car ride was anything but, haha. Mix my navigational skills and sarcasm with Lizzie's left/right disability and neat choice of music and it was meant to be epic.
Here's a pic of the gang all in our green&blue (except for hil) Sophomore year is almost here!!!

home.. hello july!
just got home a day ago and already miss the beaches of hawaii :) i had such an amazing time and it was so good to get to see paige!!!! we've already decided on me visiting in october for my fall break. i can't believe we seriously met at tennis camp and have stayed so amazingly close still. i consider her one of my closest friends and realizing that we have really only spent a total of 8 of so weeks together is crazy. oh the bonds CVTC can make :)
its good to be home though, back in the swing in things. HAPPY BELATED 4TH. Liz came over and we enjoyed a low key night and american lake's fireworks. Dad and austin went to the indian reservation to get fireworks (some legal and some illegal) and were very excited to play with fire etc. haha
things happening in my life as of now--
* nannying, brought the kids back little souvenirs :)
* bachelorette finale on monday with liz!
* meg and i have a doubles tournament next weekend
* doing an overnight for the Clarks on the 12th... 24hrs of mommying, utoh
* need the sun to start shining!!
* Hilary's bday at the end of this month (28th)
* going to start hitting again... from more than a month off
* aunt courtney and mikeys wedding on the 2nd :) need to find a dress!!
* going to kinko's to print out second semester pics for my scrapbook
* trip to the Del Cornado w/ the parents for a long weekend to see Megan play in a tournament yay!
summer summer summer... it always goes by too fast

off to the beautiful hawaiian islands!!!
My family +3 officially departs for maui in the morning. I am so very excited!!!! Megan is bringing Lindsay, Austin is bringing Beau and Paige is meeting us there from Chicago!!! Ahhh its been over a year since I have since her lovely face and I miss her so much!!! The last time I saw her was a complete surprise when I found her sitting on my bed for my 18th birthday. It was AMAZING. I still cannot believe mom pulled it off but she did and I was so excited to get to bring her on our family getaway =)
So the next time I blog it will probably be after the trip. I will (hopefully) be all tanned, relaxed, and very happy to have all of july and august ahead of me. I already cannot believe it is the mid-to-end of june!!
Were renting a house since there are in fact 8 of us. yes.. chaos is a given. but i've never looked more forward to two 13-year-old boys, and four sassy older girls sharing a roof for close to 2 weeks. plus mom and dad.. that makes 8!!! here we go...
Being home has been amazing. Although mother nature and I are in a fight, it has been great to spend time with my friends and just lounge around the house and have plenty of lazy days ;)
so ALOHAA =) and look forward to a long post about my adventures on the beaches of gorgeous Hawaiiiii.. !!!
ps
side note: a few days ago I came to the realization that I am in fact 19. and even though to lots that doesn't sound very old, I'm already having problems accepting the fact that this truly is my last year as a teenager. I KNOW completely random and very odd.. but it's been on my mind and I wanted to document it. This year better be and good one where I sudden find like the meaning to life or meet my husband or something truly great because I can't turn 20 next year not feeling any wiser.
