17. Finally 17!!! R-rated movie time!!! One more year closer to the day I officially become an adult at the age of 18. I feel like I'm already 17 but I am having to wait a little bit longer. I have 18 hours and 29 minutes left as a 16 year old!!! Whoo-hoo!! What a great 16 years I have lived, I guess. Many more years left to go but they seem to be flying by now. Maybe this 17th year of my life will be the best one, but I have my doubts. I am finally happy for the first time since the day that Meagan and I broke up. I'm happy with everything that has happened in the past 2+ months. There is no one else I would have rather spent these last 2+ months with than the love of my life, Lauren Marie Baker. I don't know where I would be right now without her. I know that I wouldn't be this happy for one. Now that the summer months have come, we will have so much more time with each other. I'm really looking forward to that. The fact that I have requested all my Friday and Saturday nights off for the whole summer is making this upcoming summer look like a great one. I have a truck to drive, I have money to spend, I have a job that will recoop my spendings, and I have the most beautiful girl in the world with me. Can it get any better? Yes, it actually can get better. Since my parents are gonna be gone for the first week of August, Lauren will spend the night with me at my house one of the nights they are gone. What can top that? Absolutely nothing! This is gonna be the best summer ever!! One final stands in my way right now: German III K. I don't have all my study materials, oh well. I hope that it isn't too hard for me. I have done well on all my finals in that class, so I don't think that I will have too much of a problem. I got a 94 on my history final today!!! I'm oh so good in that class. I'm gonna miss Mrs. Pekkanen so much because she was such a great teacher. She not only taught us about U.S. History but also about life as well. I enjoyed going to her class everyday. I looked forward to her class everyday as well. As for my other classes, the only other class I could look forward to was probably Athletics but not when we were going through off-season. Thankfully, off-season and spring training are over and done with for me for the rest of the time that I am at Cy-Fair. I'm glad that English III is over with as well. Pre-Cal was a scary class. It showed me that I'm not really organized enough for higher learning yet. Thankfully, I have another year left to get ready for college. It's scary thought to think that when night falls on Saturday, I will officially become a Senior. One more year left to go. One more year to make things right. One more year hopefully with the girl I love. So much to think about during this summer but I'm gonna take it one day at a time. Hopefully it will last longer. I want to spend as much time with my family as possible before my college life begins. I have two schools in my mind right now, the University of Houston and Texas State. One close to home where I can still see everyone, the other 3 hours away in San Marcos where my relationship with Lauren, should it last that long, will have to come to an end for sure. Yet, should I stay here at U of H, and still be with Lauren, I will have to remember that she is probably on her way to A&M after my frosh year in college. I know that's thinking ahead 2 years but I plan for the future sometimes. I'll be honest, should Lauren and I stay together that long, commitment maybe something I will ask of her. For now, I'm happy where we are at and I'm taking it all in.
Lauren, I love you with everything that I am. What can I really say to you? You have turned my life around from a blistering hell to pure happiness. I can't tell you how much I love you because my love for you is too great. You complete me baby!!! ~Ryan
