Crazy Nights

The past few nights have been so crazy. I felt like it was freshman year all over again. I am so happy I got to spend some quality time with some good friends. I can't believe that in a week we will be separated and spread all over the country.

Wednesday night was the start to it all. With no class or work on Thursday I figured I should have some fun. First we had dinner at the sorority house with our house mom and then went to Pump It Up. I got to hang out with some people I hadn't hung out with in ages. Then a few of us went downtown after. It was a crazy fun night. Lots of bar hoping, drinks, and chatting. Love those girls so much.

Thursday I slept a lot recovering and finished up a group project. I am down to three final before the end of the semester. Then Thursday night started...one dollar beers are not a good idea. Athens always has some sort of deal going on...seems the point is to get everyone drunk, and it works! ;) Another great night with some wonderful girls. But it really knocked me on my butt! I am done with downtown for a little while I am getting too old for this.

Today was good slept in and then babysat. They are expectin their 3rd any day now. Bella, their 2nd, is having trouble coming to terms with the new baby. She is usually in the spotlight, and knows that once the baby comes she won't. Poor thing is just beside herself. Hopefully once #3 arrives she will adjust and be just fine. They are just adorable and I will miss them. Can't believe how much they kids have grown over the past year and a half.

Trav got here this evening. We had dinner and finished season one of Nurse Jackie. I love that he is here. It makes me feel like the world is right when we are together...like things are balanced and everything is going to be ok. I just love him.

Now I am off to bed to get ready for graduation tomorrow. Also, wishing my daddy a happy birthday! I love that man and am so lucky to have such a great man for a father.

Gavin (Trav's nephew) is doing so well! Growing big and doesn't need anymore oxygen! This sweet baby has come so far and been through so much. I am so happy to keep hearing good news! He and his brothers are the sweetest things around and totally have me wrapped around their fingers! All they have to say is "Aunt Kat..." and they will get whatever they want! :) What can I say...I am a total sucker!

Starting Out

Well I decided to try out the whole blogging thing. At first I wasn't sure if my life was interesting enough, but then decided I didn't care. It isn't like I am forcing anyone to read this! :) Plus I feel like I am hitting a huge milestone in my life and a lot is about to change. So why not write about it.

This past week has been so bittersweet. A lot of "lasts." Last chapter, last spring semester class, last reading day, etc. Chapter on Monday made me realize what a wonderful group of friends I have made in my sorority. There are so many great girls who really care about each other and are there for each other. It was so strange seeing the alum (a year older than us) during the ceremony giving us our alum badges. I feel like it was just yesterday that we were freshman and they were sophomores or juniors. I can't believe time has flown by so quickly and how much we have all changed in four short years. I guess everyone just finally grew up and became "big kids." Happy and sad all at once! But I must say I am so happy and grateful I have gotten to know them.

Last night I went to a dinner party with four old high school friends. At first I wasn't sure if I should go. They have done a great job staying in touch and I am so awful at keeping in touch that I thought I would be the out one out. But I am so happy I went. We spent four hours chatting and catching up. The main question at the end of the night, "How the heck did we survive high school??" But I guess we did. It was another night of...wow when did we get so old? I loved going back to high school and telling all teh old stories. We did some dumb stuff but looking back some are just so funny! I really need to work on keeping in touch with them. There are so many forms of communication these days that it shouldn't be as hard as I make it.

I am also really looking forward to graduation. I am ready to start a career and move on. More I think I am ready to be back in home range of Trav and my momma and daddy. I love spending time with them and am so happy and relaxed when I am home. Guess that should be a sign I am ready. Three more classes this summer before I can head back. July 1st is the goal...the finish line. It seems so far away, but I guess I have been waiting for this day for almost three years, so what is two more months. I can't wait to see my boy whenever I want!

Well I guess that is about all for now. Off to a senior dinner for DG and then going out in downtown Athens to pretend I am a freshman again! Pretty excited!
