Happy Father's Day Dad!!

I really have the best dad in the whole world. I miss him so much. My dad is sooo great and I wish more then anything I could be with him on Father's Day!

Happy Fathers Day Dad, I love you and hope you have a great day!

Disclaimer: My father is one of the happiest guys I know but, like every other man in this world, he DOES NOT smile in pictures.

my perfect nineteenth

my birthday was perfect this year... I couldn't of asked for anything better! it all started on friday night. whitney had a birthday dinner for me at her house. alli, nicki, whit, and I all had so much fun together (like always) and it was soo good to have one last dinner with them before we all go our seperate ways! me and whitney then spent the weekend at her house with her little 1 year old. it was so nice just to hang out for our last weekend together. we were able to watch a little gossip girl and find some deals at woodbury. it was real hard to say bye to my best friend... she left for utah monday and that made sunday night no fun. although, it's the end of our adventure our here, it is just the beginning of new adventures in utah.
on tuesday (my actual birthday) I got countless calls from family and friends mostly from home... which made me a little homesick but it was so good to hear from everybody. my dad sent me hot pink carnations and as soon as I saw they were carnations I knew they were from him-the note was so cute and made me tear up a little. later that night I went to dinner with lauren and opened the rest of my presents. my mom sent me a very cute package but I was real sad I couldn't open it up with her!
the next day, my nj family took me out for a great dinner! it was soo fun.
besides being away from my family, my birthday was perfect... i couldn't ask for anything more! and YAY, I am finally 19! I was sick of telling people I was only 18- they're response was always "oh, you are just a baby"

PS: wednesday, after being 19 for only a day, I pulled a GRAY hair out of my head... AHHH!!! I am only 19, do things like this start this early??

one year later...

on june 5, 2009, me and whitney left for ghana. we spent 31 days there volunteering in a hospital. we had such a great experience! one year later-on june 5, 2010 we made our last trip into nyc together (well not for forever-but for a little while at least).
there is no one else i would rather go on all my adventures with me... you're the best whit!

A year ago today... june.02.2009

I can't believe a year ago today I graduated from high school. It seems like yesturday I was sitting in class counting down the days and staying up all night finishing projects and last minute assignments. Some things I miss so much, mainly my friends. It has been soo hard to be away from my BFF KiMbErLee, I miss her sooo much! We had so much fun in high school together-- I miss getting our nails done together, skipping class together, study all night for finals (well at least that's what we were supposed to be doing), eating goldfish in 2nd hour, convincing her she didn't need to go to her american goverment class, making frequent trips to buckle, and going to lunch!! I wonder sometimes why we were in such a big hurry to get out of high school... now we are just dealing with the real world which isn't too much fun!! I can't wait to get home so we will be only a few miles away instead of 1,000's of miles away! Love you Kim...
