Someone's having a baby right now! Probably someone most of you reading this don't know. She's a teacher in my high school that I've never had actually, but we've had many good baby conversations and looked at many ultrasound pictures over the past nine months. It seems like it's gone by so fast and here it is! I haven't heard very recently, but an hour ago she was still in labor. Everyone thinks it's a boy and even I can best picture them having a boy, BUT she's carrying SO high. Doesn't that mean girl? And isn't that often a correct prediction? I don't know really, but I feel like going against the mainstream and saying: I think it's going to be a girl!. I could be totally wrong, but just maybe I have a special intuition about this ;)
Dave is away with the boys this week. He and I think four of his friends left Sunday afternoon and headed for Toronto Ontario. They planned on going to a Red Sox-Blue Jays game, but just before they left they found out they could get into a second game for two bucks! So instead of coming back Tuesday, they'll be coming back late Wednesday night. They decided to got to Toronto rather than Boston because game prices at Fenway are crazy, but in Toronto they were really cheap. They group is mostly Americans I think, so it's kind of funny that they are going a farther distance to go see the Boston Red Sox in Canada!
Anyways, I miss Dave.
Today my mom and I are going to pick up my prom dress and my dress for the night before dinner. I am really excited to have everything all ready and organized for this crazy week of prom and graduation and finishing school. I really liked my prom dress when I got it, but now I am not so crazy about it. Oh well. I love my other one. It's black and sassy and it's SO comfy. Usually comfy= doesn't look very good, but I feel pretty good in this one. My mom hasn't seen it yet, so I guess I have to get the ok from her before anything is final ;)
My parents gave our second car to my brother to take to Indiana for his internship, so right now we only have one car. We're getting another one sometime this week, but it's been hectic having only one in this busy week. My mom takes it everyday to work and doesn't get home until five, so I'm having a hard time finding time to get to the gym. I have a huge group final assessment project that we have to do every evening this week, so if I can't get to the gym before supper it's probably not going to happen. So that's my vehicle frustration.
Yesterday I decided to start eating healthier. Much healthier actually. Those of you that read my other blog on myspace probably remember me doing the Daniel Fast which consists of eating only fruits, vegetables, flax, oil, nuts, and pure juices. I did that for ten days last year and it really made me feel a lot better and I had way more energy. It was really hard, though cause your options are very limited. So, I am going to do my own version of the Daniel Fast. I am doing mostly the same thing except I am allowing granola, small amounts of dairy and probably a light salad dressing. NO MEAT! My family is definately a meat eating family. If any of my extended family is reading this, you know cause we're all the same. We love our meat and potatoes!
So I have five days of school left now. Its exciting but surprisingly sad. I don't think I am quite at the scared stage, but I am seeing everyday as the " last this" and "last that". Like we only have one more Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and then Monday and Tuesday. So each of these days will come with all of their quirks for the last time in my high school career. There's a lot of people I am going to severely miss.(I'm very happy that Dave is no longer going to be on that list). There's those everyday people that aren't my closest friends, but I see them at certain points in the hall, in certain classes, and at specific times every single day. It'll be so weird not to see their faces so frequently and consistently. And these are the people that I am not likely to keep in touch with. Small bit of sadness in this happy and exciting time.
I am still really looking forward to our girls trip to PEI. I think it's just been to busy to really talk about it and plan anything, but it'll be great. Not to mention that I'll get to see my Nana and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. I love them all so much and I wishI could see them so much more than I do. It'll be a great week.
I need to go spend some time with Oprah now....it's been forever since we've had quality time! You know you're too busy when you can't seem to make time for Oprah!!!
Anyways...I hope all is well with each of you during the onset of the summer season :)
Until next time!

Life update!
A Basic Summary:
So I am really confused about this blog thing. I'm not confused about any blog, just this blogspot one. I posted some senior pictures of myself, but it appears that I've created a whole other "space" rather than just the post I inteded. So now I am interested to see where this post goes.... I don't even think anybody reads these blogs anyway. I have one with myspace that people read, but I think people are getting annoyed with myspace, so I though I should start doing this one again.
A basic summary of my life right now: I am graduating in only a few days and I really can't wait. June 9th is the day. And prom is the 3rd. I am really excited for both, although i know they are severely over-rated. So I won't talk to much more about that. This summer I'll be babysitting/driving children around for a job. That'll start in another couple of weeks. I am excited about doing that too cause I love the kids and the hours. And maybe the money a little bit too ;) Oh yeah, the week following the week after graduation, my friends and I are going on a roadtrip. Yep. We're packing up a vehicle(hopefully Kylan's monster van) and we're heading to the island(PEI that is) for 4 or 5 days. We're not really planning a whole lot, we're just going to go and fly by the seat of our pants. It'll be great. I am super pumped. My boyfriend Dave is also home now from Indiana, where he was going to school. He's home for the summer until we leave in August again. I'll be attending the same school as him in the fall, Indiana Wesleyan University. Most of our relationship this far has been long distance, so this will be the first time we'll be living in the same place for any significant amount of time. I can't wait for that. I mean, it's definately been a time of growth for us the past year and a half, but I think it's time for us to be able to grow together in the same place. God has certainly had his hand on our relationship through the more difficult times apart and I am confident that it will be even more so when were at the same school.
So that's basically what's going on in my life. Lots of busy-ness with the end of the school year and an end of a chapter of my life ending. Lots of fun too, though. Friends and family are more important to me now then they ever have been and I am so excited about life and where God is leading me.
