Long time no... type?

Hilly here, yes I know it has almost been a year (basically) since I have even looked at this blog. Life has been super busy... BUT to start off with...

What has happened in since November 2007:
-Christmas 2007
-New Years... Hello 2008!
-Spring Break 2008
-EUROPE TRIP!!
-Sweet Sixteen

So many things eh?

Christmas was fun, got my Nikon D40 that I'm still in the process of figuring out. Don't remember much else. Just like any other Christmas. Family. Presents. Good eats. Christmas would probably be my most favorite time of year though so it was wonderful of course.
New years: welcoming of 2008 (was hoping for a better year). Got a new start, a new year to either screw up or make worth it. On this New Years maybe we will all be able to look back and see if we made anything of our 2008's.
Spring break was a blast. Met Ryan (whom my family does not speak of any longer). We hung out, went to Wild Adventures, church... the works. That was all of my spring break though.
EUROPE TRIP! Man, that was a trip of a lifetime. It was just simply amazing. I absolutely loved all of Italy, all the sunflower fields that made up the country of rolling hills and great food. My homestay family were the sweetest people you could ever meet in your life (still keep up with them). France and Greece were great too, no doubt, but Italy... man oh man... it was just like WOAH... couldn't be replaced by anything else on this planet. Met abunch of wonderful friends that I will never forget. Created great memories, some that I will take to my grave, others we share as inside jokes. All of them just as imprinted in my mind as the day it happened. Wanna know more? Just ask... I'll gladly tell, but be ready for a long story. :)
So, once I got home from Europe it was almost my birthday. Now yes I know every kid always dreams of their sixteenth birthday (duh... you can drive now) but once it got here, it was not as I had always thought it would be. I did not get my driver's license or a car. Georgia's crazy new laws make it near to impossible just to get your driver's much less by a car now with our crazy economy. So my "sweet sixteen" was a surprise party at a Japanese restaurant with people I love dearly, what more can I ask for? No, it wasn't anyones average sweet sixteen party, but who said I'm average, eh? haha. It was fun anyways. We all came home and stayed up late and watched movies till we couldn't hold our eye lids open with tape.

Now, for this new school year, my junior year of course, has just been crazy and hectic. I have a job at a flower and gift shop (which I love) and I'm really enjoying that now... alot better than the strawberry farm I used to work at. I've been learning how to make flower arrangements... me and my creative self over here just absolutely love that. The shop is all decorated up for Christmas, it is just wonderful. :) As for school, its straight crazy and so much work that sometimes I just wanna run away from it all and act like it doesn't exist, but every morning I get up and face reality once again.

Hey, one more year and I'm outta highschool... I think I can make it.
