Well, friends, there's two weeks until the end of classes, and three until I leave this town for a good long while. No worries, I have plans to return, just not for a month at least. I can't wait for a change of scene. Meeting new people, spending time with old friends, and remembering some very happy times spent in the heart of Texas. For those of you who don't know, that is where I spent my childhood. In a town called Greenville. It's about the size of well... maybe Staunton, with less historical interest. It might even be slightly smaller... At any rate, it's where my sisters and I spent way too many hot, long days just chillin. lol.. geez.. that's where Keiks began directing. We would always play with the neigborhood kids, and she was always the one telling us where we needed to be and what we needed to do to make our little pretend world keep moving along. I don't think about that stuff often enough. I think remembering your childhood is a good thing, most of the time. And granted, there are those who, I'm sure wish that they could forget their younger years, and I wouldn't blame them in some cases. I was blessed with an environment that allowed me to be a kid. Y'know like the kind you read about in books. Growing up, I wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder or Anne of Green Gables. Though, Mikaela was always Anne. I was Diana Berry, in real life. I always went along with whatever scheme, enjoying every minute of it, but always following Anne's lead.
Geez, I'm sorry, I didn't intend on rambling like that. When you're making life changes, it's usually then that you turn and look back at all of the things that have happened to you to bring you to the point you're at. And then you turn around and keep walking, hopefully smiling because of where you've been, and who you're going to become.
Anyway, I hope that all of you keep in touch over the summer, and keep posting so that we can all stay up to date. Good luck with everything in life, and I love you all!

Texas, huh? I've never been to Texas, but I might take a trip down there this summer. One of my best friends now lives in Houston. Where will you be?
Dallas... Well, the very edges of the actual Dallas city limits, really close to Richardson. You should come! If you're flying, then that might be problematic unless you're flying to DFW... but why would you do that if you're going to Houston. Though, I might be down there at some point because my aunt and uncle live down there... I don't know, but we'll see. Anyway, keep me posted on what's going on, and we'll figure somthing out if you come by my way!
