Finally getting to you.

Friday was your birthday. I called. I texted. I even Facebooked you and said Happy Birthday. I didn't think you would really care either way. Because I'm just your sister and ever since I moved out, you seem to not even know who I am anymore. But I'm still here and what you did on your birthday surprised me so much. That one call made my day. When I heard "Haley, I'm having a party at a friend's house. Do you want to go? I would really like it if you came." Really? Is this a dream. I could not even believe it. You finally realized that I still want to be involved in your life and I love you more than anything. You told me you loved me too and you missed me. I miss you too! And your party was tons of fun. Thanks for inviting me. I know our relationship is now just a bit stronger now. I love you so much Brady.

Today's The Day!

I have been waiting for this day since second semester of freshman year. It is now October 27th of Senior year. Today was the day, Senior Meeting. We walked into the auditorium to see a tall man standing in front with multiple bulletin boards and posters set up facing the audience. The audience was us. Seniors. The man proceeded to tell us that he was here to tell us about of Senior graduation information. I was so excited. I have been waiting to get out of this school and graduate and never come back. This was a big start to our graduation, ordering graduation announcements, cap and gowns, and accesories. I was overwhelmed with what seemed like decisions that would take a life-time to make. How would i decide on just ONE card? And what size gown do I need? And do I want any accesories? Its so hard to decide but everyone has to do it at some time. It was my time. Im finally a senior. Im finally graduating.

Driving Me Wild

Thinking about leaving you is just making me scared. It turns my stomach upside down to talk about it. Only two more months of high school, then I'm gone. Away from you-my family. I'm not sure I want to grow up yet. But I guess I have no choice. I hope you will miss me and not forget to invite me to parties and family events. I still want to be involved and not let this get in the way. Going to college means being independent, protecting myself and having a good time. How am I supposed to have a good time while protecting myself? I guess I have to face the music and get it done because it happens to everyone. College and growing up is a part of life. I have to get excited. I have to relax and let God lead the way. (:

Waiting for you to come back...

My heart is aching for you. I feel like your face has faded out of my focus. I cant image it anymore. Just come home and see me. Bring him, bring her, bring them; anyone that wants to come. As long as you come home to see me, be with me, and stay with me. I wish you wouldn't have moved, and now you're moving farther. I dont want you to go. I know you are trying to start your new life with your boyfriend and dog, like your own little family; but don't forget about your old family! We are still here to be with you. Please come home. I have so much to talk to you about and share with you. We need to start planning your wedding and talk about my homecoming I just had, and talk about graduation and where I'm going to college. I want to make those plans with you. I miss you best friend, cuddle buddy, idol watcher, mother replacment, buzz, made of honor, sister, MACKENZIE.....we are getting our tattoos soon, right? I will see you soon. Love you with all my heart. <3

Homecoming Week!

This week is homecoming week! Homecoming week at my high school has to be the most stressful yet most fun week that we ever have at the high school. Everyone gets so involved and has so much fun with the activities that have been set up for that week. Part of homecoming week is the dress days; when you dress up for a day as something or someone and get points toward your class. This week was Monday: Class Colors, Tuesday:Tacky Tourist, Wednesday:Swap Gender, Thursday:Favorite Holiday, Friday:School Spirit. A lot of kids dressed up for the days. I was amazed with the turnout. Especially on Swap Gender Day because so many people dressed up and made that day of school so fun. But the dressing up isn't the only thing we do homecoming week. We also have powder puff, the bon fire, pack the house, the parade, the football game, and dont forget the dance! But homecoming week can be very stressful too because you have to remember to dress in those clothes for the day and buy tickets, get your dress and shoes, make hair appoinments and get accesories and find a date, get a ride to the powder puff game and dont forget clothes to the bon fire, etc etc. It can just be stressful. But it is also memeries that last a life time and a dance with that special guy...

School Lunch vs. Feeding Time at the Zoo

The constant noise could not be silenced. Once a door was opened to the cafeteria, it is instantly loud. Kids yelling back and fourth to friends on the opposite end of the hall. Othrs stomping their feet while running into lunch lines. The fans run loudly, trying to block the smell of sweat and the heat that overwhelms the large room. Friends talk at round tables and others are table hopping to make sure they get all their talking in before they have to return to class. The halls fill with major talkers, kissy face couples, and phone conversations as lunch comes to an end. The sound is like the animals at the zoo that have not eating in years. they growl and hiss till the food have overcome their small stomaches. The sound in the lunch room is the same because the sound starts o get silent toward the end because bellys have been satified. (:
