I'm All Grown Up

That's right... I graduated! It's so crazy to think that it's already over! Graduation went amazingly well; it was held on May 22nd in the Parowan High School Auditorium and it was so much fun! I know fun isn't typically the word that would come to mind when you think about the graduation ceremony, but my graduation experience really was! It was great to be so involved in the program. I got to sing two solos and do a choral reading with one of my best friends. It was so great being able to see our class work together so well, although it was most likely the last time we'll all be together with the same objective in mind. But I know that I'll never forget it.

Only two days after graduating, I packed up my stuff and moved in with my dad and step-mom, Danielle, down here in Hurricane. It was a little hard to adjust at first, and I'll admit I was a bit homesick, but I'm loving it down here. I've spent the past three weeks trying to find a job so that I can eventually buy myself a car so I can actually make it to school every day this fall. But so far I've had no luck. I've been able to make a little bit of money though, by going to Biolife Plasma Services and donating my blood plasma twice a week. It's not hard to do, and I get paid for laying on a chair for an hour listening to music. :D Pretty easy money, I'd say.

Hard Stuff

Last week Taylor and I broke up. First of all, I want everyone to know that it was a mutual decision, we decided being together wasn't very smart for us right now. I want him to be able to focus on his mission, and I want to focus on my life- school, family, friends, and all the crazy stuff that's involved with moving out and starting college. We were dating a year, two months, and ten days. I still love Taylor, and nothing will ever change that. But we're not right for each other right now. The past week has been a bit hard, not talking to him or texting him or anything. But I've had my family, friends, school, and work to help keep my mind off things. This will get easier with time, I hope. But for now I'm doing the best I can to be myself. :D

Cheer is Over!

The cheer year is over, and as much as I loved being a cheerleader, I'm so glad it's finally over! Now I can focus more on the other parts of my life: school, work... and friends! It's so great to be able to actually hang out with someone other than a cheerleader!

School is going really great, but I can't wait for it to be over! haha Only three more months and then I get chucked out into the big bad world! I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and horror. It's scary being an adult! Oh right! That reminds me! I'm legally an adult as of February 10, 2009 :D Some parts are okay, but others are just a pain in the butt! I had to apply for medical insurance... which was a horrible hassle! 

I'm going to attend Dixie State College in the fall, and I'm really excited about it! Not only do I have so much of my family living down south, my best friend of thirteen years, Natalie, lives in St. George. It's going to be great to get to see my family more often and meet new people and try new things! I'm going to live with my dad while I'm going to school, at least for a while. I'm not sure if I'll end up living on my own by the time I'm done with school or not. haha. 

But for now I'm focusing on my school work, keeping my grades as high as I can, and making sure I didn't lose complete touch with the social world outside of cheer! :D
