Meeting Bill Clinton

So last night Erin graduated from Leesville and we went to Sullivan's Steak House downtown. Turns out, President Bill Clinton was having dinner in the room next to us and we got to meet him, shake his hand, talk and get our picture taken.

Meeting him was the next best thing to meeting Richard Simmons.

Two weeks!

So I leave for Alaska in 2 weeks, June 20th. I have feelings of nervousness and anxiousness but definitely of excitement. I've been looking over the list of gear we need and I'm almost there. This week I'll be making a backpack, camera, and hiking boot purchase. It's hard to believe I'll be living in Alaska for 6 weeks. I don't think it' quite hit me yet that my summer is going to look a lot different from what I have known...my whole life. I hope to have my camera soon, so look for posts of packing, Erin's graduation, and the beginning of my summer!

Speaking of Erin's graduation....my baby sister is graduating high school next Wednesday! I'm going to be a mess, probably bawling my eyes out. I can't believe it's already been 3 years since I've graduated. I'm actually looking forward to spending 5 years in college...I'm not ready to be out on my own yet ;)

The online summer course is still going. It's getting a little boring though. I'll be done before I leave for Alaska so that's a plus. Hopefully I'll make an A!

I hope to read a lot in Alaska and I've been thinking about what books to take with me. I've considered the Narnia Series (seems Arctic worthy) but I know people have told me other books to read I just can't remember...if there is anyone reading my blog at all...any suggestions for a good read?

I'll probably upload pictures and post again after Erin's graduation and after her party next week once I get my new camera!

"Keep on loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those in prison as if ou were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering." Hebrews 13:1-3

Lazy lazy

Completely forgetting about this blog, I have decided to revisit it this summer. There is a lot to talk about this summer and I have had multiple requests to post pictures of my travels: Alaska, Las Vegas, and Costa Rica. Well, fear not! I shall update this more efficiently this summer. I am certain!

Classes have ended for spring semester and I just started an online course today... Western Civilization. Should be fun? Plans for the rest of the week include packing up my apartment and bedroom for my roommates to move in late June because I will be busy sampling lakes in the ARCTIC CIRCLE!

So you have me here, writing and letting you know what's going on in North Carolina until June 20th. Then I set forth on a crazy journey to Alaska until the end of July. For my 21st birthday this year I will spend it with family in Las Vegas (yeahhhh baby) and then immediately following the celebrations I will board a plane to spend 10 days in Tortuguero, Costa Rica.

There's a lot to look forward to, so stay tuned! :)
