Days at Home

The end is near.  Oh, goodness class starts Tuesday.  I bought $9 worth of notebooks last night (and wondered aloud why graph paper is sooo much more expensive).  I also got to take my fair queen pictures.  I cannot wait to see them.  I had so much hairspray in my hair that the tiara left dents in the side of my hair and when I woke up this morning my hair looked better than it does most days after I do my hair. 

While at Walmart, I decided to purchase my own GPS for my trip to the Missouri Governor's Conference on Agriculture next week so my huge blonde hair does not get me lost.  You see, I am amazed Aaron kept me around after I got us lost going to the movies for our first date.  Or so he thinks.  I also have never driven to Kansas City.  I live on the St. Louis side of the state.  I have venture to KC twice in my life.  Once for a 4-H trip when I was little enough to play on the park playground and once this past fall for a conference.

To pay for this wonderful gps, I told Mom that I would do cleaning today for her.  I have finished up the laundry, steamed the kitchen floor, sprayed the kitchen floor with bleach, scrubbed the kitchen floor on my hands and knees, done dishes, made dishes dirty for brownies, and thought about how much fun it would be to do some more sewing.  I made a headband a few days ago and have promised some to two of my best friends at school. 

Sometimes sitting here at home, I think about life in a few years.  I am two years, eleven months, and two days from graduation.  After that, I'm all grown up.  I will have a career I hopefully love, a family (not immediately of course), a beautiful home, and will no longer be a kid.  I like thinking about the future.  It's why my Pinterest account has a wedding board and there is no diamond on my finger.

Best wishes everyone!
