well, hello darlin's!!

i think i've forgotten how to work this..seeing as how it's been like, 87 years..

the only reason i'm here now is because i have the flu.. and to do anything more

than sleep, drink hot tea, and get online...is too overwhelming for me.. so yah!

i know, you're pleasure!

to whomever may still read this, which is probably noone.. since i've done an awful

job at keeping you updated!!  but, regardless..i feel like i'm getting behind and behind..

and more behind.. this is the third day of school i have missed.. it's killing me.. i will have

to make these days up, i also had to miss my class monday night!.. which i have to make up

for thursday night.. being sick like this just isn't cool !!

anyway....i was looking at the two previous posts....i miss those days...those long, summer

days.......friends, and fun... trips, and outings.........man.....i love summer..

i am getting so psyched about graduation..let's see... if my math is correct, i think it's

about 54 days until graduation.. that is flippin' HARD TO BELIEVE!!! well, let's pray

i make it... okay.. enough rambling....i'm sick...........

here are some pictures!
i love you forever..

Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you have seen them or the amount of time since you've talked. It's about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish that they were right there with you.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that or even believe it, but trust me, there are some loves that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we all should be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity, someone who never lets go, someone who cherishes you forever

**wow!! it's been a whiiiillleee...

just wanted to say HI  & let ya know i'm still alive.....hehe!! this summer

has been crazy busy!! i'm heading out to .. well, about four  states

tomorrow.. haha..Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.. kinda a

mini world-tour!! hope everyone had a marvelous independence

day!! .. mine was incredible.. i spent the morning and afternoon at the

lake w/ my best boo  shana kaye story!! i <3 her!!..and we went tubing..

and ate yummy fish! then, i spent the remainder of the evening w/ my

wonderful church people at a big 4th of july celebration.. then starbucks,

~ jAy ~

~I am not pushing you away... I am holding on for dear life, but I need you to need me back

~It's about time that I came clean with you. I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth. I thought that I found myself under something new. Just one more line I repeat over and over again, 'till I'm blue in the face with a choking regret.

~Someday being with [him] will be a distant memory. This fact makes me sad too. It's like when someone dies, the initial stages of grief seem to be the worst. But in some ways, it's sadder as time goes by and you consider how much they've missed in your life

~If he's dumb enough to walk away be smart enough to let him go

*** SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO JUST GO OUTTA TOWN.....THE 'AFTER THAT' EXPERIENCE*** isn't it amazing... A.T. people..know what I'm talking about!!!
