by the way...

3 days. today (saturday), sunday, monday. thats it. no more excuses about not wanting to go back to school shopping now huh?!?! well im ready and not even that nervous anymore. in the words of a good friend, "we're there to learn. nothing else." smart friend huh?! maybe i should keep him around...
but seriously where did the time go? i can still remember kindergarten for goodness sakes! sitting on the rug for story time, nap time (which by the way, kids don't want nap time! teens do! they don't fit that into our schedules!), playing power rangers with my best friend Evan, sharks in hot lava at recess. good times. i remember looking up to the "big kids" thinking i'll never get that old... will i?? but here i am. the big kid. always felt so far away but no it really isn't. life is short and goes by too fast so you have to cherish it with all your heart. every time i look at Kelle's blog i think "that was me 13, 14 years ago. i was that little learning to walk. and now im almost 15!" and also that, "that will be me in like 8-10 years!" i mean it seems so far away but the past 8 years went by in a blur and they keep telling me highschool goes by faster than ever. time is something you can't get back. so i say make every minute of it count.

it's the number of moments that take your breath away."

its the life in your years."
