Summertime Stress

Add comment May 18th, 2008

Though high scool is over,  i never couldn’t have imaged everything  I would have to be doing to be getting ready for all my family to come out for graduation. Woahhh!! From the party supplies, to the last minute pick ups for the family, it all can get stressful quickly. Adding on to that stress is another of trying to sell our house in Belvidere. Today we had an open house. So we spent all morning cleaning and scrubbing all of the little cracks and “hidden” areas all to leave and hope that somebody would like it and all of our work would pay off. Cross our fingers!!

I’ve yet again I impaciently began the countdown until graduation and then the party the following day. I’m am insanely excited to see all of the fam and show them around Chicago and IL area.. (exciting huh!?)

Have a great week!

Prom….come and gone

Add comment May 18th, 2008

Last night was prom. It was ok, I’ve been to better dances, but that isn’t the point. Prom isn’t about music or about the decorations, it’s about seeing your high school friends and hanging out with them for what will be one of the last times. It’s about coming together and having a good time. Here are some pictures =)
