reminiscing

Today is my cousin's graduation, and I found myself thinking a lot about what my life was like four years ago. FOUR. YEARS. AGO. holy moly, where did time go? it honestly seems like yesterday. So many things have changed since June 21, 2007. I was getting ready to go to Texas, and I had the lay d to saantest high school summer of my life left ahead of me. I had AMAZING friends, and a bright future. Things of course have changed since then, like any chapter does, and I just wanted to take a second to thank those people who made my high school experience so, so amazing. Nat, Ali, Kels, Kasey, Katers, Holls, other Katers, slawby,anna, marit, alex, shanny, and so many more. I found my OBEY '07 shirt in the midst of moving and it made me giggle a lot. I remember posing on kelsey's lawn for a picture of all the girls wearing the shirt. the shirt was a little dusty when I found it, but it brought a huge smile to my face.

Here are some pictures that I found while reminiscing. sorry there's so many, i couldn't choose which ones I liked the most.

i am so blessed to have always had the best friends. not many people can say that they have been so lucky. even though relationships have changed, there is still a near and dear place in my heart for all these people because without them, i would not be where i am today. miss you guys! i have the highest hopes for all my friends futures because they are all the best, genuine people i have ever met. i only choose the best.
