Chapter Seventy-Eight: Rare Creatures

Happy Summer! Summer (the season, not the break) officially started June 21. Ironically, it was mostly cloudy and rainy here. Oh well, I'm sure we will get our fill of sunlight and heat as the season continues. Anyway, between now and my last update post (June 1), I've started an online class, began working for the first time, and celebrated a couple of things with loved ones. I feel like the word "busy" is mentioned at least once in every blog post, but I really mean it! I started training to be a waitress about 3 weeks ago. Although stressful at times, I'm definitely getting the hang of things the more practice I get! I'm now serving on my own in small sections (about two or three tables) and am really enjoying it so far! It definitely gives you a workout. My first day as a waitress...lookin' good and lookin' for tips! After graduation, I began my short summer class. Thankfully, it isn't too demanding, so I can (for the most part) easi

Chapter Seventy-Seven: My Heart and the Class of 2015

Read my post for the Class of 2014 here. I'm dating a graduate! Can you believe it's almost been a week since the Class of 2015 graduated? Heck, it's hard for me to believe I graduated over a year ago. While I most definitely had a connection to my class, the Senior Class of 2015 also has a very special place in my heart. The obvious reason for this is that my boyfriend, Luke, is a recent graduate; however, my love for the Class of 2015 started a long time ago. It seems to be a commonality for students to either better connect with the grade levels below them, with them, or ahead of them. This becomes extremely evident in junior high, because this is when the grade levels begin to mix in various classes. Don't get me wrong, I connected with the students within my class just fine. My very best friends are the same age as I am. For some reason though, I really felt a strong need to be there for the grade below me. Maybe it was because a few of my very special ch

Chapter Seventy-Six: Sun Kisses

Well, I guess you could say your favorite blogger has been a little busy since coming home. Not even a week after returning home, I was heading down south with my two best friends. Rebecca, my best friend's older sister, was getting married at Padre Island. Of course we were already invited, but since Kimberly was the Maid of Honor, that meant we were helping hands, too! Our home for a week We stayed in a lovely condo with Kim's parents, Rebecca and her two bridesmaids (Taylor and Maritza), Chris and his daughter, Michael and his family and Kim's little sister. You could say it was a bit of a full house...which made it all the more fun!  Kimberly, Victoria, and I (before the wedding) found time here and there to mess around at the beach. Thankfully, Rebecca was the calmest bride and didn't really require much help at all. We all spent a lot of the time before the wedding having fun!  Beach Babes The clock continued and before we knew it, it was the
