AHHHH!

I'm really, really excited for the rest of this summer. I've got a lot of fun things going on, but also some really stressful things that I have to take care of. But, I'm trying to focus more on the exciting, and break the stressful stuff down into small tasks, one at a time, rather than looking at one long list and feeling hopeless. It's working a little bit better this way.

So, the exciting things that I've got going on are, well, exciting. This weekend, my mom has to go to a workshop in order to renew her therapy license or something like that. It's in Lexington, and I think I'm gonna go with her. She'll be in her conference from 9-12 on Saturday morning, and I guess while she's in that I'll shop or something. But it'll be nice to get out of Bowling Green with just my mom, even for just a little while.

Next Monday the youth group is going to Holiday World, which is always exciting and fun. I loooove Holiday World for lots of different reasons. For one, it's holiday themed. I love that each of the different parts of the park at themed after different holidays, and all the rides in that part go along with that theme (example: the tilt-a-whirl is in the Thanksgiving part, and the little carts are turkeys). It's funny, because my mom just found out today when we were talking about the trip that Holiday World is holiday themed. I guess she just never really thought about it, and put it all together. It made me laugh really hard when she told me that. But anyway, I'm really pumped to go with the youth group...this is actually my last youth group trip ever so that's gonna be sad. I've known it was coming all along, I suppose.

Early next Tuesday morning I'll be leaving to go to my Mimi and Papaw's house. They live in Indiana, and I haven't gone and seen them in a really long time. It's kind of scary, because I'm driving all the way up there all by myself, and it's the first time I've ever taken a car trip that long ever. I'm really scared, but I'll deal with it I suppose. But, I'm basically going to say goodbye to all of my family that lives up there, since I'm moving in August and all...it's gonna be sad to say bye for now, but I'm really glad that I'll get to see them all before I go!

My mom, Gabe, and I are also gonna go visit her brother and his family the third weekend in July. We'll leave on Thursday night and come home around lunch time. I'm pumped for this, because I'm gonna see if I can get my aunt to take us shopping at all of the home stores that they have there (because there aren't many here, but there are quite a few where they live). I want to get some stuff for my apartment that I know I'm gonna need, and I know I can find really good deals there. So I'm hoping to get a chance to do some shopping. But I'm also really exciting to swim in their pool and just really spend some time with them, too. Because I know I'm going to miss them tons. I'm probably gonna cry a lot when that visit is over. I hate saying goodbye. Nevertheless, hanging out with them is fun.

Anyway, I'm really excited for all of those things coming up, and I'm trying to keep them in mind when I think about all the big, stressful tasks that I have up ahead of me...

I just looked down at the time (it's 6a.m.) and I was so shocked! It definitely feels like it's hours earlier than what it is...it felt more like midnight to me. I should obviously get some sleep. Here goes nothing.
