Where did this summer go? Seriously.

I've got all these things running through my head right now. I've gotten up early this morning to finish packing since I'm moving tomorrow right after work, and my dad is packing all my stuff in his truck tonight while I'm still at work.

Last night I got together with all my girls, which has happened not enough this summer. We were trying to organize a day to get together for quite some time, since Ashley got engaged actually. So last night we finally got 4 of the 5 bridesmaids together (remind me not to have a big wedding party, its hard work getting schedules together!) We wrote on, stuffed, stamped and addressed the save the date cards and chatted, leafed through wedding magazines and just had an overall good time together.

I'm so excited for Ashley's wedding. The first of my girls to get married. This is just the beginning, before I know it I'll be blinded by all the bling on my girls fingers. And I'm okay with that. I'm ready for that.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for a new town, new people, a new house, a new school, and a real person job, but ready or not, here it comes!

I think I'm going to be abusing skype a lot. Saying goodbye to my girls last night was weird, I just tried to brush it off as a "i'll see you soon" sort of thing. I need them, I really do. I hadn't seen any of them for weeks and I was feeling really down. Now, I feel great. 3 days in a row of seeing one or all of them will do that. It was especially weird saying goodbye to Ashley. We've lived together for 3 years and now we are going our seperate ways to different teacher's colleges for different ages. Our paths are just taking big turns and it's great but sad.

I used to be able to wake up and walk down the hall, flop on Ashley's bed. I'd come home from class everyday and go straight to Ashley's room, flop down on her bed. I always had someone to talk to. In order to fully think through my thoughts and feelings it's best for me to verbalize them. I know it will be fine, it's just going to be different.

Also, life lesson of the day: when packing is going well and productive, turning on friends and the computer will never turn out well haha :)
