2009?

When did 09 manage to sneak up on us?? It's pretty crazy - I haven't updated in quite a while, so it's even more unreal that it's ALREADY 2009. That's a big number, a big year - my graduation year. I've been counting down to this time for years, and it's finally, yet suddenly at the same time, here.

I can already tell that 09 is a year for some serious change, based on the experiences that have already happened for me personally. School isn't as stressful, and doesn't look like its going to be that stressful - until finals and the AP tests that is. I'm getting a job - hopefully soon - and considering taking classes in the summer for college, to put me a semester ahead...

I haven't done a very good job at dealing with my grandparents' death, and I'm working on that now. It still hurts to think of them, and I still want to cry, but I'm slowly getting stronger, and I'm very, very slowly starting to deal with it. Christmas wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be - so that's good. My sister's fiance's kids came into town, so we had a housefull (4 kids total, ages 5, 6, 7, and 8... 3 boys and 1 girl) to keep us distracted from the pain, so I suppose thats a good thing.

I have no idea what 2009 will bring me, and I can only pray that it isn't half as bad as 2008 was. Hopefully all the change that will happen is good change - for example, my sister is getting married in September, and my good friend is getting married in May. I desperatly want to lose some weight, so my mom and I are going to join weight watchers real soon, so that's something that I'm looking forward to.

I don't really know what else to say in this blog, I'm beat, and I've got some things I have to do before kicking back with my book and reading before bed - so I'll hopefully update soon!

Love always,

Michelle
