It's been a strange weekend. On Friday night, I went to The Moose for JT's coming-home-from-Afghanistan party. I had never met him before (he's been gone for three years, and I've only been hanging out...there's the fact that I don't want to commit to anything or anyone right now. I'm supposed to go to Birmingham on Saturday anyway, and we've made tentative plans to hang out. We'll see how this goes

Three days 'til Peoria! I still have a lot to do. I'm mostly packed, though, and when I went to Jacksonville yesterday I stopped at the college radio station to make copies of CDs so that I'll have plenty...grandparents. Four months is a long time to be away from my heart - my friends and family - but I know I'm doing what I need to do. And everyone's been amazingly supportive! That's just a bonus. ;)

Hannah graduated from high school on Thursday night. Erek and I went to the grad. party at her house beforehand - she looked so beautiful and happy. :) Some endings are truly exciting, like the one she...are ending. Hannah's life in Jacksonville. Zach's life in Oxford. Three friendships I always hoped in the bottom of my heart to regain. An almost-relationship with a nice boy. Exciting and scary...

So I've been home for a week, officially. In some ways, it feels like forever. But on the other hand, it's been a great week...minus Molly having the stomach bug from HELL on Wednesday night. Boo hiss...day...and about a billion times better than last year. Stupid Gaddy. Mmkay, I'm off to read and relax. Much love. (Btw, Britt, your thoughts on Erek...??? You know I value your opinion greatly!

So. The new Death Cab leaked on the Internet. JR has a copy. Erek is getting a copy. Everyone and their brother (read: Rolling Stone , the only music magazine that counts) says that it's absolutely ... the guys, all dressed up :) l-r: micah, marcus, shane, and kayne some of my favorite guys!! l-r: shane, me, erek, jr (i was wearing 2.5" heels...and i am still short. lol.)
