Reflection

Look at me,
You may think you see
Who I really am,
But you'll never know me.

Everyday,
It's as if I play
A part.

Who is that girl I see?
Staring straight,
Back at me.
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

Ok, I'm just kidding. This post isn't really about Mulan's "Reflection". However, I was reflecting and reminiscing about the past earlier today. I was going through a lot of my friends' blogs and other such stuff, and man I can't believe how much has changed! Most of my high school friends are married, and more than half of them have babies on the way!!! It's CRAZY!

Now, I'm not wishing I was married. I love that I am getting my education. It's what I've always dreamed of doing and told myself I was going to do. I also am not looking my nose down on those friends who have taken a different path and have chosen to start a family. Certain paths are right for certain people. I just can't believe life has changed this much only 2 years after high school. It blows my mind!

To each of those friends who have started in the family way of life, I just want to say that I am very happy and excited for the new adventures they will be facing in life. I guess Father in Heaven knows I'm not quite ready to face those adventures just yet :) (which I am 100% ok about).

For myself, I want to say that I am very pleased with the things I have accomplished in the past two years. I am planning a trip to Europe next year (hopefully!), I will be finished with school in 1 1/2 years and then off to graduate school--which I am very nervous but excited for, and I have made many, many new friends/kindred spirits along the way.

Here are some pictures of the crazy fun times I've had and the people I couldn't live without right now in my life (apart from my family):

I'm trying to pull off the 'Kelly Kapowski' look from "Saved by the Bell"


Some of my most favorite people in the world!

AND.....some MORE of my favorite people in the world....... 

(pssst....this was my most favorite group.....EVER!  But don't tell.....)

This past year at Kensington Manor has been the funnest year of my life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I'm excited to go out and make more memories this coming semester...with both old AND new peeps! :D
