i'm taking my sister to college tomorrow...it's so sad.

i remember us jumping on the couch with the cushions off pretending it was a small trampoline, all the matching outfits that mom made us wear and she'd make kirk a tie that matched us, us running around the pool while mom and dad filled it up singing "Ring around the rosie", her taking me to Mrs. Edison's 2nd grade class and crying cause she wasn't "a big girl" and couldn't go to school yet, her first boyfriend Zach, prom, dances, volleyball and basketball games, her calling me late at night either happy or upset about something our parents or boyfriends had done/said, our "brother-sister" bond that her, kirk, and i have where we'll do ANYTHING including lie, steal, cheat, whatev...to cover each others butt, laying in her bed at night having "pillow talk", and every night before we'd go to sleep saying...

"Good night. I love you. Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite. SIKE! I said it first...no take backs!"
hahaha! We've said that every night to each other since she was 6!

Ugh, tomorrows gonna be hard...

so school is getting ready to start back up and...i'm kinda ready. i love having the summer off, but i miss the routine of knowing what my day was going to be like and not sitting at home being bored. on the other hand...i've loved the trips i've been able to go on! Mexico for 4 days and a cruise to jamaica, cayman islands, and cozumel...doesn't get much better than that! I finally got moved into the new house! I'm so excited and i feel so "adult." i was telling Wester the other day about how i was really happy about being in a house and having my "own space" and he was like..."what the crap! at 23 i lived in a piece of *^&!)%$ apartment!" haha, he has a problem with bad language. anywho, i've gone to some coaches meetings and stuff like that and i'm ready to get back to school. i don't think i've ever said/thought that in my life....EVER.

i'm back from mexico! and now i'm in east texas. the rest of the summer is going to be amazing....selling fireworks, cruise, and sitting around not doing anything! i love being a teacher! when i got here to east texas and started talking to my old friends and stuff, i remember back my sophomore and junior year of college when i had friends who would tell me that i don't need to hang around the people i went to high school with...they make me do bad things...i revert back to my "high school days"...blah blah blah. all i have to say is, i'm having tons more fun with them! and they're still in my life, and the people that i was close with at school...aren't. oh how life makes me laugh. hahahaha I'm not ready to stop sleeping in and being lazy and hanging out with the coaches all the time during the summer, and I'm not ready to be hanging around kids all day yet, but i miss the routine of school and knowing exactly what i was going to do that day. i feel like i'm getting old.

so i've been thinking about how much my life has changed in the past 5 years. All the friends that i had, that i thought we'd be together through "thick and thin"...pretty much, thin came and so did they. there are of course those extremely close friends who i'm still friends with...but not as close. 5 years ago, if you would've told me that i was going to be teaching math to kids that struggle with gangs, drugs, etc. and coaching in mesquite...have the friends that i have now, know the people that i know, and everything thing else...i never would've believed you. i can honestly say that i have probably 5 "close friends." is that good...bad? i look at the relationships that i've been in....all bad ones. haha! I have an awesome track record... but 5 years ago, i never would've thought that i'd be here where i am now. basically, what all this boils down to is...growing up sucks, but it's SOOOOO much more fun/interesting.
