Blonde Ambition: Times like these...

Things are changing.. yesterday, one of my good friends Trent, who left today for the Naval Academy, sent me a text "We're not kids anymore.." and I honestly stopped and thought about that. It's true. We aren't kids anymore.. I wondered exactly how much time we spend wishing we could grow up.. wishing we were in the future, to be a teenager, to get our permit, to get our licenses, to graduate, to start college, to turn 21, to get married to kids. It never stops. Then, once that landmark gets here, I find myself wondering how the heck I missed everything behind me! It's twisted, and bittersweet for sure.Now, on to what I've been up to.

I've spent the last few nights really hanging out with my friends who won't be at Alabama next fall.. really in two weeks (12 days to be exact). This included my very best friend Sarah, who is going to Marymount Manhattan to pursue her dream of acting (she's SO talented), Trent, who's playing lacrosse at the Naval Academy, Connor, who's heading to Auburn (I haven't forgiven him yet) and lots more.

And today, my sister comes back from a mission trip she took with our church to Chicago, and she comes back in the nick of time.. Ames turns 15 tomorrow! AHH! I can't believe my only baby sister will be able to get behind a wheel tomorrow.. Lord help us all. I'm excited for tonight, my family (including AMES! I can't wait to see you), and my god-parents and family will be at my house to eat a great meal! I think Sarah is coming too, which just makes my day! I love good get togethers surrounded by friends and family.. makes me proud to be italian in a way. Anyway, here's a few pictures of my last few days!
