The best news I've heard all summer - Whitney is home from rehab. My dad told me just a few minutes ago when I came through the door; it has been a mixture of emotions. Part of me is overjoyed that she is back; I can only hope that the help and therapy she has been in will keep her conscious on track while she is home. I can't express to you how excited I am to meet up with her this week and just hug her, knowing that she is the person who she was before drugs took over. It is so great to know that she has overcome the hardest part of this battle.
But another part of me is extremely worried about her, mostly because a lot of her old crowd still will be in Harrisburg and going to the community college with her. My only fear is that she will fall back in line with them. Even though I am worried for her, I know that she has realized that she is above that all.
I am going to call tomorrow to see how she is doing and to see if she would like to go out to lunch, or something. This is great! The perfect way to end a summer.
I hung out with Erica, Jessie, and Sarah today. We went to Hershey in the morning, but since it was so full, left and came back later at night. I love those girls, and I am going to miss them a lot. Especially Jessie, though, because I am closer with her and I think that I can relate to her more. I am worried about her, too, when I leave. Worried that she'll fall into a pattern that everyone else is deciding to fashion; she is one that is easily persuaded and doesn't really know what she wants. I always felt like I was there to let her know it was okay to go against the grain. I sort've always sense that when she is in a crowd she isn't sure if she should be herself or not. I just hope that she is okay once I leave and I am not here to sort've give her a supportive embrace anymore. This paragraph sounds very egotistical.
My two sisters, mom, and I went to David's Bridal yesterday afternoon to watch Carol try on dresses. When we got there, she was already in one; gosh, I'm jealous. It looks very victorian and fragile; a cream color rather than white because of her olive skin tone. It just looked beautiful. AND I WANT IT, hahaha.
The bridesmaids dresses we decided on, too. They're very simple but it looks rich combined with the dress, since the dress has a lot of detail on it. The color is a shade of green, like leaves that have just grown back on the winter tress. AHHHH - it's lovely. I can't wait.
10 days until I'm out of here.
I love Aaron Edward Olson.
