8 hours and I'll be home. :]

This week has been an emotional roller coaster! I've had bad dreams like every night, a couple nights ago in my dream, I was running away from a man that was chasing me and I got on a bus and the bus was hit by something right on my side and everyone was knocked out and I woke up and was bleeding really bad and I got out of the bus and tried to get help. I don't know. It was scary.

And last night I had a weird but scary dream. I had this like.. book thing and if you did what the book said, then the monster/ghost things wouldn't kill you. I had to pass the book along after you'd finish it. It was kind of like The Ring. But I'd passed it on to my cousin, Crystal, thinking she'd enjoy it because she's "gothic" or whatever and would've enjoyed something like that. She ended up going missing because the monsters in the book were telling her to do all these things, so I'd gone looking for her even though like all of my family was dying for some reason. I don't know.. It was really scary. I'd found her dying in the desert though and I had to save her. Ugh.

Anyways! lol. Well, I'm going home tonight!! our plan leaves at like.. 6-ish here I think and we'll land at 6-ish there. lol. I can't wait! I miss my mom and dad! Not only do I get to see my parents though, I get to see Nic and his parents! They're going to the airport too!! Hehe. :D

As for the roller coaster.. I argued with my mom, argued with Nic, been homesick, been for real sick, been all happy, been sad. Last night I almost threw up a bit. Made a few new goals. I don't know how the 101 goals thing is going... I get to mark of "Visiting Joy" though. :]
But I think for the soda goal.. I've had more than my share of soda for the whole time for the goal list.. I said I would have one soda a month.. I swear I've had like 50 here.. Not that I wanted to drink it.. That's just pretty much all they've had at the house. I tried getting water at restaurants though. And I've had so many new foods though.. lol.

ANYWAYS! again.. lol. I'll stop talking now. All I should have really said is that "I'M EXCITED TO BE HOME!!!!!!!!!!" :]

Writing in from Texas:

Good afternoon friends in Arizona! It's 4:09 here, and 2:09 there. I've been doing so much stuff! I've been here 4 days and I'm completely exhausted! only.... 6 days left... woohoo.. I'm extremely homesick. :[

Well, I've been taking a ton of pictures! I don't know how well they'll turn out though, because I'm using the camera Jess gave me, and I haven't gotten any developed yet.. So I don't know if I'm using it right. I really hope they turn out okay. But I took a ton of pictures at Sea World and can't wait to get them developed!

Sometime this week, we get to go to the beach at night and have a BBQ in the sand and stuff. It'll be fun. I'm hoping we'll go to the beach more than once though.. definitely during the day.. lol.

Well... Joy, my sister, keeps teasing me and saying "Oh Nic, I miss you SOOO much and I wish you were here" whenever I'm texting him. It's rather annoying, but so true.. I miss him a lot. :[
He went to California yesterday.. so now we're about 1500 miles apart. It sucks. lol. I can't wait for the day when I can actually travel places with him. We've made it a goal, for when he gets back from his mission and we're married, to move to California. Shh.. don't tell my mom. :P lol. She'd be heartbroken.. but at least they'd have a place to stay in Cali if they ever visited. :P
Haha. But it's time for me to go now.. Todd's (Joy's fiance) son wants to get on the computer. Goodbye for now.

--Sending love to my friends from texas. I miss and love you all!!!!!

This is the summer I've been waiting for

I write too much. I have a lot to say.. but none of it is ever that interesting.

My goal is to try to say less this time and make things less boring and long to read...

Some things going on:
1. I might get a job at sears portrait studio.
2. I'm still saving but being tempted to spend all my money.
3. I'm going to texas tomorrow. Going to take a TON of pictures. I get to go to the beach and seaworld. :]
4. I'm slipping into bad habits.
5. A lady my aunt works with is getting married in like.. October or something and is interested in having me take her pictures... I'm nervous.. I don't know if I trust myself with someone's wedding memories yet.. but first she has to see some of my pictures and decide if she wants me to or not.
6. I'm learning how to work out little tiffs with Nic and I love him more and more each day.
7. I miss my friends.

Not a whole lot to say after that.. Wow.. I thought that would be a lot harder to condense things.. it was easy.
I'm excited, nervous, happy, sad, confused? I don't know. I have a lot of emotions running through me at the moment..
But it is time for me to go pack to go to Texas. We need to be at the airport at 5:30am, and our flight leaves at 7:30. I can't wait to see my sister!! :]

No pictures today though. I haven't had my film developed yet.
Later.
