Well a ton has happened since I last wrote. I graduated, decided to go to college, and turned eighteen. Graduating wasn't as exciting as it seems. I always thought that after high school I'd be done with those types of classes but with the decison of college comes more math and english. I'm moving in one week and yes I am both excited and nervous. Girl's camp used to make me home sick for heaven's sakes, but that is why God invented the cell phone. I will be closer to Mike and that will strengthen our relationship too and I think our faith in the church will grow also as we are tested and we WILL pass all the tests we'll be given. College is a good idea. Moving out is a good idea. I will miss my family and friends from up here. I will miss malls. I'll miss busy streets (not really) but the small town life will be very different but I believe it will be good for me.
I turned eighteen on Wednesday and I don't feel different at all. I waited for that day since I was thirteen and now it's come and passed and SURPRISE I'm still the same old Danielle. Birthday's aren't as exciting as they were when I was ten or whatever but that could be because of my lack on enthusiasm. When I was asked if I wanted a party I said, "Why so I can deal with all the drama--no thanks!" I really do need to start being more social though instead of keeping to myself like I have been and I know that college and living with my roommates will help me with that. I'm excited for everything that's about to happen and I hope that I make all the right choices.
For all those who wonder Mike and I ARE still together, even though we've had some rough patches, and we hope to get married sometime during Summer 2011.
