Since I last wrote a LOT has happened!
The school softball team is now 7 and 2! Way to go girls! :) Bad thing is that every game has been cold, miserable, and wet. It's almost May and none of our games have been above 55 or sunny! C'mon, it needs to get nicer!
There are now 14 days left of school, 20 days (including weekends) until graduation, and 113 days left until I move in to Ellsworth with Kaitlyn :) This morning on my way to school it finally hit me. All year I haven't been able to wait until I graduate, but now as time is literally flying by I want it to slow down. I realized that after these 20 days go by, I will never play softball again, and that I will never EVER see some of these people again also. The whole softball thing made me extremely sad. I've played since I was able to walk and after 20 days I'm done with it....Another thing that made me sad, is that I'm moving out. Mom and Dad, and Cole won't be there everynight. I won't be able to go to dinner, or sit around and help Cole with his homework. The smallest things are hitting me the hardest. Being a teenage girl can be so unfortunate with the emotions that come along with it!
Adam and Dana are in town with the kids- they leave tomorrow. Let me just say, their kiddos are the most adorable thing in the entire world. Ry started saying Ky-Ky and it made my entire week! One day I hope that my little kids will look and act like Ry and Abby! Cole just adores both of them, and has been wanting to spend every extra minute over at Gramps house.
Easter was on Sunday and let me just say, I love my family, and all of the food they bring to Holiday parties! I was able to meet a new cousin, his name is Tyler! He's extremely nice and I'm glad that he was able to meet the rest of the family! The weather turned out beautiful and the kids all had fun on the Easter Egg Hunt. Everyone surprisingly got a long and had a wonderful time! Next year I will miss the random family get togethers, but I'm so thankful that all of my family lives close that I can still come and see them for every Holiday.
For graduation Emily, Brooke, Morgan and I and of course all of our moms, are talking about going to Mexico for a week for a graduation party. If we were able to do this it would make my entire life. Not only would it be the best present ever, but it would mean a lot to me to be able to spend this time with my mom before I go off to college. This would be a vacation of a life time. :)

College Life && Summer
Today I'm home sick yet again, my breathing has gotten better since last night, which is a miracle. Last night I went to the ER and had to get chest x-rays and more breathing treatments, because the Prednisone shot, and all of my other steroids, weren't opening my lungs enough to breathe. They diagnosed me with Costochondritis & Tietze Syndrome (they are the same thing with different names ;)). From coughing so much the cartilage near my sternum is stretched and separating from my sternum causing the pain.
While in my boredom, and midst of being home alone, starving- I have been shopping online; it's a horrible habit that I need to break before going off to college! I bought my swimsuit for this summer from Victoria's Secret! It's super cute; This is the link to see the picture of it. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265437696955&c=Page&cid=1300105508571&pagename=vsdWrapper . I am obsessed with zebra print, and this fits my personality! We're going to a condo in Destin, Florida at the end of the summer, and I definitely needed a new suit that makes me look good, since my body is changing and becoming more like a woman's ;), instead of a girls! Working out 3 to 4 hours a day is the best way for me to stay skinny, and in shape during this change.
I have also managed to checkout multiple dorm accessories that I need to get before college. This last month of school is coming to an end extremely fast!!! My graduation is in 31 days and the party is in 30, don't worry those reading this should be getting an announcement very, very soon!!
I can't wait until this summer, I start off by hopefully going to California or Miami, if my dad will be amazing and nice enough to let my mom and I go on a last mother, daughter trip!!! I've decided not to play competitive softball this summer due to the busy schedule of both work, and of college preparation, I will be at the KU campus multiple times during the summer for orientation, and more visits to mentally prepare myself from moving away from my family! I will still be working at the baseball diamonds to save money for rushing and hopefully getting into a sorority! :)
If anyone has any advice on college and rushing feel free to email me :)
Over the summer I plan on hanging out with my family a lot! Especially Coleman, him and I have become so close within the last few months, and my heart is beginning to ache in knowing that I won't see him everyday, though I plan on coming back to watch him beast it up in middle school sports; so hard to believe that he is starting middle school in the fall, life goes by in the blink of an eye. I am not coming home though for the first 3 weeks, by doing this I hope to prevent becoming homesick and wanting to come back as soon as I get to KU. Though KU is only 20 minutes away from my house, it's a big deal to me because Iv always been so close to my family. Ever since I was little my whole family has been extremely close, and we do everything with each other, and just knowing that I'll miss some of these family events makes me sad, but everything does happen for a reason and this is a new chapter in not only my life but my entire families.
My grams has already said he will come visit me a few times a week at KU once I get all settled in, which will definitely be nice since I will get very tired of dorm and cafeteria food very quickly ;) even though we eat out almost every night, I'll still miss the fact that eating in a dorm doesn't include my family. If you can't tell by now, my family means the world to me, and I would drop anything for them.
Back to summer, between work and swimming (of course tanning) I will be hanging out with all of my friends before they leave for colleges. Many of my friends are staying in Topeka to go to Washburn, but some are traveling hours away, both for academics and the opportunity to continue playing sports. I will miss playing softball, but I plan on helping coach my 12 year old cousins softball team, because I love the game, and I love how good of a player she is! Keep up the good work Rhi!
I need to save all of the money I can before college, so I don't become one of "those" students that constantly has to ask their parents for money!
Continue to read as I post more about my college plans and goals :)

Sick Day.
Currently I am at home sick, breathing at about 33% when I should be way above a 90%. While laying here, bored, might I add, I had this wonderful idea to turn my boredom into writing. This blog is a good way for me to keep in touch with my parents as I make my journey into college at KU next year. I would rather my parents, and friends, read my blog than visit my Facebook page, because as we all know it's not the most reliable source of news and keeping up with people.
I love to write, and blogging gives me the chance to do so :) I only have 22 days left of High School and 19 until prom. This year has flown but I've enjoyed every minute of it. I'm ready to go to college because I feel as if it is a new chapter to my life. I believe that sometimes we get into the same routines by doing the same things everyday, and it's good to switch up this routine. Though I will miss my brother the most, and I admit my parents some-even through the fighting, I'm going to cherish every moment that college throws at me. I've planned on having my brother come and stay the night, but not too often, it's bad for him to be around all of those girls with the hormones of a pre-teenage boy - though not long until he is a teenager.
I have already met my roommate, Kaitlyn Jurgens, and her and I get along so well. I think that everything happens for a reason, and even though we didn't get the suite we wanted, we still ended up together. We are both studying pre-med and we are living in Ellsworth. My family adores her, which is very good. Speaking of family, my mom has a team for the National M.S. Walk and this year it will be on a Friday, if anyone is wanting to walk for her or donate money to her team it would be greatly appreciated. All of the money goes to research to find a cure for M.S., and also to families that have a loved one with M.S that can't afford to do treatments. The money goes to a good cause and every little bit helps!
