taking shaky new steps.

So... obviously a lot has been going on this week. I recently graduated from Byrnes Highschool on May 24th, 2011 and needless to say it was a complete whirlwind. That day was stressful from the start, actually. I had to wake up at 7:30 for a miserable graduation practice, boyfriend went with me around 2 to get my hair done (of which didn't last long at all later that night), we went and ate around 4:30, came back and got my cap and gown, and then I was sitting in my place in the gym around 7:00. All of the faces that I had grown up with surrounded me and at that moment I didn't feel sad. I didn't feel regretful. I was content with where I was at. I honestly didn't even realize that I probably would never see most of those faces ever again. I probably will forget most of them, remember some of them, and keep in touch with a few of them. It never even hit me until the other day, too.

Growing up really sucks in a way.

On a lighter note, I loved my cake. It was perfect. The flags were perfect, the tiny blue frosting was perfect, and the cake platter was perfect. It made me extremely happy, but even more so that my mom let me use her wedding china to eat it off of. :)

I've spent the last few days with Brandon (boyfriend) and they have been wonderful. Yesterday we spent a three hour car ride with his mother to Clemson and to do some things for his job. Though it was fun, we all were seriously tired by the time we got home. Later that night we came back to my house right before a huge storm hit. It was probably a good thing we left when we did because as soon as we got inside it literally threw down. He's been helping me set up my lap top. It's a good thing he's my tech support because I sure don't know how to do most of what he can do. Especially since he is a total Mac geek ;) I love my silly boyfriend a lot. <3

I think I might play sims for a while or rest. I really need a day of rest although I know we're going to be doing something today. I always end up having to do something. Meh. Tomorrow I'm taking pictures with Emily and her friend from school for my Vintage store that I'll be opening up soon. I really need to get back into thrifting... especially now that I can drive. Hm.
