I can't believe that in 5 days, I will officially be a college graduate!! It feels like just yesterday that I finished my first year of college and the end seemed to be miles away. That said, I only have umpteen things to do before my last final on Thursday afternoon...
This weekend is the Miss Washington's Outstanding Teen pageant!! There are 27 amazing young ladies competing this year, SIX of which are from Grays Harbor! Of course there is my lovely Miss Grays Harbor's OT, Elizabeth Henderson, and then Sarah Dier (my future sister-in-law), Chandra Munger, McKenzie Brooks, Paige Kuhn, and Ceeja Barr. We are going to have quite the representation! I'm really sad that I won't be at preliminary night because of graduation events, but on Sunday I'll be rushing from my commencement ceremony to finals to support all of these wonderful young women!
I also had the privilege this past weekend of flying to Virginia for my best friend's Michelle's wedding, who I hadn't seen in 6 years! She married an amazing man named Tom, and I am so happy for them! I also met 8 other amazing people and we kind of became inseparable for three days. The whole weekend really made me think about military friendships and how much the people you meet impact your life, even if you only know them for a short period of time. I really feel like all of my pageant sisters are going to be those people, too - at least I hope so!
Anyways, I'm going to be so busy for the next few days, that I will see you on the other side of graduation!
