Going Away

So its 2 a.m. and I am sitting in my room thinking about all of the things and people I will miss when I go away to college in a few weeks. And now that I look back, there are a lot of things I have taken for granted and people as well. I am going to miss sticky summer nights playing baseball or football in the backyard until we could barely walk. I am going to miss my mom making sweet tea for those summer nights. I am going to miss my cat KC. I am going to miss all of my friends I have made over the years at Fort Zumwalt and Warrenton. From Fort Zumwalt, I'm going to miss my friend Tyler Wirkus who I would watch Lost with until the sun came up ALL winter break long. And yes, we did watch 5 seasons of Lost during winter break. I'm going to miss Josh Hayden, whom I've known for almost 13 years now. Josh has been my most consistent friend I've ever had.  I'm going to miss Kevin Spies, Danny Clemens, and Chaz McPeek, who together we have enough inside jokes to literally write a book. I'm going to miss Lindsay Smith who made my senior year that much better :). And from Warrenton, Brandon Griggs and Eddie Coleman who have always and will always be there for me. I am also going to miss home cooking. It may not have been the best every night, but it is free and it really was pretty good. I am going to miss my mom the most more than likely. I know that sounds weird and cheesy to say but my mom is amazing. From fighting off cancer like its a mosquito about to bite her, to building middle school choirs half the size of the school. She is an amazing woman and the strongest person I know in my entire life. My dad has always been such an awesome person too. Over the past few years I haven't gotten to see him nearly as much with the "every other weekend" rule. And I hope he knows it isn't because I don't love him nearly as much. I love him with all my heart. He is so persistent and strong. Times can be hard but I know he will support me no matter what I do. I love you Mom and Dad. I'm going to miss Six Flags, even though I am auditioning next summer and for Frightfest as well most likely. Tyler Whiteman, you have been my best friend for the past year now. It seems no matter how sucky our day has been we can always be there for each other to make each other laugh. You are just like me and I want to be like you when I get to be your age. You are an awesome friend. I am also going to miss the peace of mind I had knowing that I would get to have my own room every night. I am probably going to add on to this post soon because I am dog tired and I need sleep. But thank you for reading and I am sorry if this sounded like an Oscar acceptance speech. hahaha
