One Year Later... An Update, of sorts!

July 22 marked exactly one year since moving back from Los Angeles. And that day in itself was pretty uneventful, I think. I can't really remember what I did, but it was far less emotional than last year. So, let's re cap the last year, shall we?

Since moving back from Hollywood:
-Got accepted to UNC-Pembroke!
-Moved to Lumberton (actually, I did this before I even got accepted... whatever.)
-Met awesome, AWESOME new friends at school
-Passed the praxis!!!!!
-Accepted to Elementary Education Program!!!
-TURNED 25!!! (boo!!! hahaha)
-Became an aunt, again, to two beautiful little boy/girl twins!!!
-Watched my nephew Keller turn 3!!! (not right at all! he shouldn't be that old!)
-Got a summer job
-Successfully completed summer school
-Studied and worked my arse off while in school in order to get on the CHANCELLOR'S LIST!!!!!

And, last but probably THE most important:
-I managed to survive ONE YEAR in Lumberton, NC.

So, now what? Well....

I'm getting a mini-vacay FINALLY!! Mom and I are too poor to go anywhere exciting, so I'm packing up and heading west to visit some of my favorite people for a few days!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is my last day at FIFI's for the summer... it was a great summer job. Very laid back and no real problems! (Who knew a job could be like that...) After I get off at 3, I'll be spending some time packing up and then heading to Lumberton for the night. I've got to check my mail and pay rent before my little adventure!

Thursday: Thursday I'll be leaving Lumberton and heading to Asheboro to stay with Cameron's mom Dora for the night. Which is VERY exciting. We haven't seen each other in a few months, and we always, ALWAYS have a great time! I absolutely love that even though Cameron and I are just friends, his mom is still a big part of my life! Because she is quite possibly one of the best people I know! And we just have so much in common... and I know she can hardly wait for me to get there and be able to get a "TO-GO" cup of sweet tea, extra ice, and not have someone look at her like she's crazy! :)

Friday: Friday morning I'll leave Asheboro and head for the Goss Planation... Ok, that's not really what is it called, but I like the ring to it. The "Goss Plantation" is in Pilot Mountain, NC and is where my bestest friend in the whole world parents live. I'll be there through either Sunday or Monday... I can't really remember when I said I would be leaving. Either way, I'm excited. Mainly because I haven't been to PM in over 2 years... but also because Keri and I have only gotten to see each other for one sleep over at her place in Greenville, and one lunch date with us and our lovely mothers since CHRISTMAS! Yes, that's right. Crazy isn't it?

So, to celebrate being back in the lovely state of North Carolina for a year, this is what I'm doing! :)

Once I get back I've got a jammed packed schedule! Jack, Cameron's old room mate and one of my dear friends is marrying Allison, who I've come to know and love as well on August 6th! Which means not only do I get to witness the marriage of this super awesome couple, but I get to see Cameron face to face for the first time in over a year!!! Which I think we're both excited about. We talk constantly on the phone, texting and on facebook, but I'm ready for a "Cameron hug" and to hear his lovely sarcastic tone and remarks in person. And his wonderful mom is coming for that weekend... AND I'll hopefully get to see his awesome sister Courtney and SUPER PRECIOUS niece (still mine, partly, in my opinion) Morgan!! Who I haven't seen since this past October!

After the wedding festivities I'll have a couple of days to recover then I'll be dragging my mom to Lumberton where we're going to lock ourselves into my house and clean, re-arrange, clean some more, buy some food and new stuff for the house, and get ready for classes to start on August 15!

So, I'm off to bed, but I'll be sure to update after my trip! :)
