I've had a lot of Excel in the past two weeks.
Last weekend i ventured there after school on friday. When we got there, me and my sister went to the Excel jamboree game. It was interesting to see all of the people. I talked with graham and jt, waved at alex, saw josh,talked with brandon for a while and just had an overall good time. Sooo after the game, i chatted with jt and graham and then me and followed megan to her car and talked with brandon again. Then me and megan left and went to carolyn's house. She couldnt leave the house anymore so me, itty bitty, and megan all went to town to wrap up someones car. Yeah lovely. So then we went back to carolyn's house and me and megan slept in the guest bedroom while itty bitty and carolyn slept together.
I woke up early the next morning around 9 and ate cereal with carolyn then everyone else woke up and i took a shower. Thenn i got ready to go to emily's house because i was going with all of the seniors to the river that day. Soo i meet emily and justine at her house, give them great hugs and kisses, then we all head to the grocery store to get buns and such and then to the river. Sooo we get there, and me and emily get stranded on the other side while everyone else heads over the sandbar in the boats. They finally come back to get us and we get to the sandbar. Well there's allison, amber, adam, brandon, seth, justin, ellen, mollie, justine, me, emily, kristy, justin, jamie, cj, amy, and some more people there. Twas a fun fun day. After a few drinks, me and justine hop on the innertube and get pulled all over the river by the boat. We fell off i believe 2 or 3 times but overall we did a good job. Thenn they pulled us back to shore, i layed out some more, then me and amy got in the tube and rode around. They totally tried to kill us that time. Swinging and slinging us everywhere, but we were troopers and only fell off around 3 times. I was slightly toasted by this time. Soooo they eventually pulled us back and i layed out some more. Arounnnnnd 6:45 we all got ready to go to the senior luau on the other side of the river. I just put my skirt back on, soaked from my swimsuit, and emilys luau shirt. We traveled over in the boats and i went with justine in the bathroom while she put her clothes on. Now i must say...we looked rather rough. Having been on the river for about 6 hours with no makeup, hair crazy from being wet, and all that, nevertheless we were total hotties. Sooo i saw all of the excel folk and we chatted and whatnot. I ate and ate and then amy comes over and me and her and emily and justine all sit together. I take pictures and it was all grand. Thennnn emily and all then head back over to the other side while i have to wait on mrs. parden because i cant go over there to spend the night. Sooo i say sad goodbyes then they leave. So i wait for FOREVER for them to leave, finally do, get back to my grandparents house and there brandon is. Yes brandon. Twas nice. Soo i jump in the car with him, and for lack of anything better to do, we ride over to his house. Soooo im still slightly...tips at this time. So i swing all over his hammock (in his room, serving as his bed) and all that jazz and we chat and such. It was nice. Sooo thennn a while later he takes me over to megan's house and we say goodbyes, then my sister and meg sleep in her bed while im forced to sleep in michael's bed because he supposedly had spent the night at his girlfriends house. Well i am awakened around 2 to michael asking me who i was? embarssing...i was slightly drowsy of course and i dont remember what i said. God knows. Anyways bleh. Sooo the next morning we all got up and got ready for church. Went to church, they did a whole graduation ceremony thing. JT actually came to church! he sat by me, nice to see him. I got some kinda book. Or everyone did. Thenn afterwards, we went over to my grandparents and ate and then headed back home finally. Sooo get home and all that. Went to church, then had this ice cream social afterwards and i got lots of graduation presents from the church folk. Colby and michael came as well. Good times.
Monday i dont remember what i did. And that sucks. Wait yes i do, i went and got my graduation dress from dillards. Totally hott of course. Black and white polka dots and it has this net stuff over it...but i liked it. OH and that night me, my parents, sister, brother, and mrs. beverly all went to eat at this super fancy place called the Auburn City Limits. It was delish. I liked it, and john berry payed for it all. OMG they had this red velvet cheesecake that was to DIE FOR! i need some more of that mmmm.
Tuesday was graduation. High School Graduation. Finally here. Wow i cant believe it's already over. Soo me, haley, laura, anna, and marissa all had this graduation luncheon thing planned out. So that around 11, marissa comes to pick me up and we head over to haley's house. Soo we ride with her and her mom and pick up the chicken fingers annnd headed all the way out to pine mountain to laura's grandmothers house. Soo we eat little cakes and cookies until anna FINALLY arrives, then we eat the chicken fingers and all the other really good stuff. Then all of us go downstairs and change into our swimsuits to layout beside the pool. And i MUST say, that her house is absolutely gorgeous. And im totally jealous. And i want it real bad. ANYWAYS sooo we all lay out, take around 300 pictures of ourselves in random but cute poses and all that, then around 2 we all get ready to go back home. Sooo get home, and then get my sister from the snow cone shop and take her with me to get my hair cut. Sooo then get back home and get ready for graduation. Put on my dress, fix my hair, lipstick, annnnd GORGEOUS! haha so we have to be at the football field an hour early. I get there, put on my cap and gown, take tons of pictures and then all of the national honor society people have to get situated in line since we were first. Sooo all of that took around an hour and then finally i hear "pomp and circumstance" streaming through the stadium containing hundreds of people and i think that's when it hit me. We strolled down the track and up the field and took our seats. Said the pledge, then travis gave his salutitorian speech, and then jill gave the valedictorian. She said my name in her speech. I cried because she recited "oh the places you will go". I was very happy. I love jill. Finally it was time to get my diploma. They announced that i had a 4.0 GPA. Uh when did this happen? i was pretty surprised. Yet thrilled. Soo after all 200 of us did that, we stood up, sang the alma mater, threw up our hats as the class of '06 and walked out as graduates. Sooo we all stuck around, took pictures with the families and each other. My brothers came to watch me, and mrs. sharon and mr. anthony. Just grand. It was oh so sad/happy though. Sooo afterwards, me and colby met up with my parents and brothers and my sister and michael at o'charleys and ate there, then me and colby met allison and haley up at the club roc. Jakobi had rented out club roc for all of the seniors for the afterparty. Awesome. Soo we got there, got on, watched a lot of sweaty black people dance, danced with each other. Twas a fun fun time. Adam and random other non-valley high people were there but it was all good. Sooo eventually around 1:30 i take allison to get her keys from kyle, then back to her car, and then i take colby home. Say goodnight and im off to bed!
Soo my graduation pretty much rocked. I love Valley High. I would never trade one month at valley high for a whole year at excel. Nothing against excel of course. Give me emily and justine and all my other amazing friends at valley, and i would be perfectly happy. I'm really sad to have to leave it. I'll never forget:

alright so...other than that, i dont remember what exactly i did for the rest of the week. I know that this past weekend, michael and colby went with me and my sister to excel. On the way, we busted a tire, and them handy boys fixed it for us. That was great. Soo we got there, went to show colby our old house, went directly to the creek and all the stuff. They loved it. It was nice. And me and colby had quite a time getting to the other side. We're such touch guys. Then we leave and go get ready for excel's graduation. Get there, watch the ceremony, emily gets EVERY scholarship just about lol, annnnnd then chat with all of the graduates, hugs and kisses all around. Then emily invites me to the after party and i of course say yes. Soo we get there, nothing too much happening, but i chat and smile and hug and say bye. Thenn we just rode around then took michael and colby to my uncle todds house and me and the sister went back to my grandparents to stay. Soooo next morning, woke up and me and her went to get the guys. They FINALLY get up and ready annnd we eat, then head back home.
Um one night this week, me and colby and michael and my sister went to the movies. We saw Over the Hedge. cute movie. We also saw adam, janie, elmore, and cody there so that was fun. Uhmm we also got ice cream at marble slab yum! =)
Another day, me and my parents and sister went to visit ronnie in the UAB hospital in birmingham. Ronnie is my boss's son. Mrs Karen and the guy i talked about when i first moved here. He had an awful car accident and had to get the bottom part of his leg amputated. Sucks. soo we saw him there for a while, then we went to the Galleria and me and itty bitty had our fun in Forever 21. Gah i love that place.
I've been working with mrs. karen most of this week. It's a good job. I quite enjoy myself except for the 10 in the morning time. Yesterday me and haley went to columbus for our final cruise shopping trip. Got a cute outfit from Charlotte Russe and Body Shop and a new bathing suit and all that jazz. We're gonna be totally sexy on the cruise. I'm pretty much super excited. Afterwards, when we got home, i went to mom's little birthday thing at the church. They had really outdone themselves. Had it all decorated country like and with an 8 piece band that played and sang. It was neat.
Today i did nothing but work, then me and colby washed our cars at his house. Too bad my car is really dumb/weird and locks my keys in itself. With no help from me whatsoever. So i get corey to call the locksmith for me, who charges me 60 DOLLARS! and he fixes it, i go home, go to the gym, run, go to church, then go eat at san marcos with everyone. Then michael and colby watched tristan and isolde with us. It's a good movie as far as i can tell although i havent finished it yet.
I leave for the cruise on sunday. Me and haley are rididng with laura bentley, jared, and his brother down to tallahasse to go to a rascal flats concert (yeah TOTALLY not waht i wanted to do but whatever) and staying there with haley's family that night, then leaving early monday morning to go to tampa and loading on the boat. We are on there until friday i believe. It's gonna be oh so much fun, im totally convinced and i cant wait. Although i DREAD that update! haha alright well i think that's about enough. Now time for pictures!!
