tonight i really began to think how much my life is starting to suck! I am moving to Northern KY where NONE of my friends are and wade is leaving to go to college after we pretty close these past few years. I'm leaving behind model's awesome track team! and the awesome team manager and coach (moncer and ashley). It makes me mad! i want to continue

dear, moving can really suck. but i have a little advice: when you move, don't try to live in richmond. i don't mean physically staying, i mean emotionally. eric did when we moved here for the year (tried to continue living in richmond even though we're about 7,000 miles away) and though he has had a good experience, he doesn't have the really good friends i have and i think that overall, i have had a better time. i know it was harder for him, being a junior, but a bunch of other stuff goes into that too.
i guess what i am trying to tell you is that when you move, be open and make a lot of friends and then it won't be so hard. at least you'll still be in the same time zone and can talk to us all of the time! just don't try to keep so much contact with richmond that you try to know everything that's going on and you try to live there. i know that i can't possibly keep up with it all. i just now figured out about jessica and i still don't know the whole thing! everybody's changing and i'm not there to see it and be a part of it. but i am having a great time here and i have a lot friends. a few especially good ones, too. i am going to ball my eyes out when we leave!
i don't thinkg it will end up being so bad, dear. whenever this kind of stuff happens, the person always makes it seem worse than it turns out to be. just don't move with an attitude like, "i'm going to hate this. this sucks. i don't like this place. etc.," because then that's what your attitude will be and will probably stay that way in your mind. people should know that you're trying to adjust and i'm not saying it's going to be easy. but it'll be okay for sure. and my phone (when we actually get one at home!) will always be free for you to call and my door always open when you want to visit.
too bad kentucky's transportation isn't as good as europe's and you can't hop a bus or something as easil. phooey.
just know we love you and want you to be happy! you, and only you, can make this work. (i know that sounds really cheesy, but it's true.) i'm going to miss you oodles, but i'll still be in close contact with you, as most everyone else will, too. we love you bunches so just try and be optimistic about all this. i really believe that things'll work out and you'll be happy there. maybe not right at first, but it will come soon if you are open to it. smile, dear! it's such a friendly smile!
*big hugs* and *big kisses*

oh yeah, and it's okay to be pissed at your parents sometimes about all this. it's not going to be easy but make sure that you don't keep a bad attitude towards them all the time, or else you won't be happy there. just know that i'm sure they wouldn't do it if it would be bad for you in the long run. i know it seems like the entire world is crumbling beneath you and you're just pissed at them about it all, but just try, as i said earlier, to make the best of it for yourself and don't stay pissed at them forever. forever is a long time. who knows what'll happen? we'll be there for you, but just don't try not to change with change. (and it's okay to cry, too.)
love ya, sweets!
*hugs* and *kisses*
