growing up...

In less than one month...I'm gonna be 16. Sixteen...that number seems so interesting and dangerous. The year I can officially get my liscence. I'm going to be a junior in high school next year. But I've also go TWO more years until I can officially move out. Two years until college. COLLEGE. College seemed like a huge idea in 5th grade...and I feel like I should still be there. This summer, Meghan and Courtney are going to compete in a tournament in Atlanta, Georgia. And when that tournament is over, we will be driving to Orlando, Florida to spend a week and a half down there before flying back home. My dad says it will be a fun trip, and hes also said our last big family trip with Brooke. Oh eM Gee. Last family vacation with Brooke? Just yesterday it feels like, I was in kindergarten pretending I could fly like an eagle, I was in 4th grade making my sugar cubed mission as a project, I was in 7th grade and I was learning the ropes of being homeschooled, and now im a sophomore and I'm reading core novels, learning about World War I, writing more and more in Spanish everyday, trying to understand geometri concepts, and becoming a young woman in the process. I never thought I could grow up, just like Peter Pan, and yet here I am...growing up. Watching the final episode of Hannah Montana made me think of college for myself. What will happen to me? What will happen to the relationships I've made in the 15(almost 16) years that I've been on this earth? Me and my friends may never see each other again after high school...it amazes me. I love all my friends...Reily, Chrissy, Mikaela, Yemi, Conrad, Christian, Jacob, Cassidy, Caitlyn...everyone. Growing up make me grateful for everything that has happened in my life...for all the influences, all the pain, all the laughs, and all the smiles. All the rain, all the double rainbows, all the clouds, and all the snow. My life is awesome...maybe growing up isn't that bad after all.

See ya soon!
