august!

So August:

Got back to the States and I haven't had any culture shock! At least when I went to Mexico, I would come back with some sort of transitioning time, but I was so prepared to be home, so I haven't had any weird emotional swings or anything from being gone! I really have just been catching up with friends and family since I have been back. We had our family birthday parties and then I've just been chilling at home and around Raleigh. We had cheerleading camp this past week and it was awesome being back! It was so tough because my skills have digressed a lot, so I just have to bust my tail over the next few weeks to get back to where I was. On the second day of camp though, I could tell that I got better than the first day of camp, so that's a plus! I have had the best time over the past few weeks catching up with all my friends at home (Jordan, Jordan, Kristy, Brandy, Matt, Matt, Joel, Anna, Amy, Ben, and Funder)! I'm not trying to name drop ... I just want to remember later in life :) I've been working out really hard this past week since camp and today was the worst! I went running with my friend Justice and I had to really push myself to keep up with him.

What is on my mind is that I am growing up (ish). I am officially moved into my HOUSE! I went grocery shopping tonight and I can decide everything I am doing ... when did this happen? Kristy Herrmann said that, "You know you're grown up when you have to pay for your own toilet paper." And that is the truth! I have my car here, I have a kitchen and living room! ahh it's so oddd being grown up, but it's so fun. All of my friends are getting legit places to stay instead of dorms like Matt and Kristy (theirs are the only I have seen), but it's so much fun going to someone's house instead of going to someone's dorm! I am going to try and keep this blog going during the year, so whoever wants to read about my life can!
