Today was my second visit to Friendship Village to visit "my little girls". I swear visiting them gives my heart such joy. They are some of the sweetest little girls. They welcomed me with a fully decorated room (with my favorite color pink), and posters. Hopefully I can visit them again some time in the near future.

I got my first car!  It's burgundy red and fully loaded baby!  I didn't get home until about 11:30 but it was definitely well worth it.

I can't even express how upset I am. I wanted to run at the Tidewater Conference for Independent Schools track meet today but I didn't qualify. I only ran in one track meet & you had to have run in at least two. I would have placed though in shot-put. UGH!!

I got to visit "my girls" again!  It was suppose to be a pajama night for the girls. Of course the boys wanted in on the fun & festivities but they were not allowed. It was so much fun. We put on make up for each other, did each others nails, and even had a "fashion show".

Today my mother and I went to support my grandmother by going to her church's carnival. I was able to meet some of her friends and interact with members of our community. My mother and I later visited my grandparents at their home, where I was able to meet my baby cousin for the first time. She is the cutest little thing. I didn't hold her though, I was too afraid I would drop her knowing my somewhat clumsy self.

Mrs. Sigmon, Michaela Sigmon Miss American Coed Pre-Teen's mother, invited me to perform a piano piece at her recital.  I practiced a few times before the students and their families got there and it went very well. I got up there to play and lets just say I have played better. All of the students did a great job with their performances. I am very grateful that Mrs. Sigmon invited me to perform because it was a great chance for me to get use to playing in front of people other than my parents. It's nice to know that others are thinking of me and willing to help me prepare for state.

Today I was able to be a part of the Dillard's fashion show! It was small and I only wore one swim suit, but it was still a lot of fun. I saw Miss Virginia's Outstanding Preteen 2006, Emily Hasty, and she was also a "model" for the event. Dillard's supplied myself and the other girls with different accessories such as bracelets, necklaces, sunglasses and totes. I loved the bathing suit I wore. It was so cute, it had black and white almost snake skin print with red tie up bands. I wish I would have bought it now, maybe I will go back and get it. :) Oh and today I attended an old friend's graduation. That may have been the smallest graduating class I have ever seen, I think there were only fourteen graduates. It was good to see him again and hopefully we will be able to hang out again like we did when we were much younger.

Today was my last day of school! THANK YOU JESUS IT'S OVER!  With an entire week of exams I am ready to just crash. My excitement will be short lived because I have my first day of work from 9 to 5 on Tuesday, June 10. At least I will be making some money... that I will be using mostly to pay for my car payment and gas.
