Boonsboro Carnival!!!

Yesterday was a GREAT day!

I went to CiCi's with Allie. I haven't seen her since the last performance of Cinderella... But luckily we were able to meet up. Allie is one of my oldest friends; I've know her since I was 6. It was good to catch up on the past month.

Yesterday evening, Cody and I went to see Letters to Juliet. No, I didn't drag him to see it. He likes chick flicks (I'm lucky!) It was really good! It was a really good date night movies.

The 'Great Boonsboro Carnival' is in town this week :D So after the movie, Cody and I went there to walk around. I absolutely LOVE the atmosphere. The pretty lights, the smell of funnle cakes, the smile on the little kids who get off a ride... It's fun :)


We ran into Jon, Kenny, and Kenny's girlfriend while we were there... hahaha they look silly.

And here's just another awesome picture from last night :)


Have a jolly good day!

Time to update!

On Wednesday, Becca, Cody, and I went to Nutters and then to Burnside bridge at Antietam Battlefield. Except for the many gnats, it was TONS of fun :)

We had sword fights!

And hugs.


And an all around good time :)

Also on Wednesday, one of my best friends, Kendra, graduated from highschool. I'm so proud of her. She's finally done and now plans to attend Mountain State univ.While I was at Kendra's graduation, there was a really pretty sun set, I tried to capture it, but there were power lines in the way. I walked across the street into the cemetery to take the photo. I really like the grave stones in the photo.



There, I've now updated my blog :)
Have a fabulous evening!

Friends are my world.

I went to the park today! I had so much fun. It was Myself, Becca, Cody, Chris, Meghan, TJ, Danielle, Oliver, and Porter. We also went to Rita's! It was yummy.
Now Becca is over here at my house. We went to Krumpe's donuts and we're now watching Avatar! :D

Good night beautiful world.

Summer goals!

I have less than 3 months of summer left. There are a few things I want to do. Obviously, hanging out with friends is my number #1 goal. While hanging out with friends, I want to take pictures. I want these memories to last. I want to take a picture with every single one of my friends. While I'm at Liberty, I decided that I want to put up a bunch of pictures on the wall near my bed. Another thing I plan to do this summer is go to Highrock. I absolutely LOVE Highrock. I want to go up for sunset and take pictures. It's purdy. I plan to stay up a few nights just talking to my closest friends and making even more memories. A camping trip! I want me and my closest friends to go camping. Just at greenbrier, but a chance to again, hang out and make more memories.

This summer is going to be great :)

Boredom.

Since i'm sickish, I'm not really up to going anywhere. I ran an errand with Mom this morning, and that took a LOT out of me. So since I'm stuck at home, I'm really bored with nothing to do. I don't want to watch anything on TV or a movie because that's what I've been doing the past few days. I'm sick of looking at the computer screen. I would read, but I've got a head ache and that makes it worse. I've tried to sleep, but I can't even do that at night.

And there's my rant for the day,

Becca

UGH!

I'm suppose to be on an airplane right now. But I'm not. Remember how after the play Cindy and the Godfather I was really sick? Well, whatever I had then, is back. Last time I was sick- this is how it went.

Monday- Friday (April 26th-39th) I was really tired all week.

Saturday (May 1st) I got even more exhausted after the performance.

Sunday- Worst pains I have ever felt in my entire life.

Monday- Started to feel better. Went to the Doctor.

Tuesday- I felt completely better and even went out to dinner with Cody.

And I thought that was that. I went to North Carolina, had fun, and came home. The whole next week I started getting ready for the trip to San Diego. Our flight was May 17th at 9:50am.

On Friday, I began to feel really tired. By Saturday, I felt absolutely exhausted. I didn't sleep much. When I 'woke up' on Sunday I felt absolutely horrible again. I went to church though (assuming it was allergies) and then out to lunch. By the time I got home I felt AWFUL. I just laid down on the couch. Cody came over to sit with me and to tell me to get better... Especially because I was leaving the next day at 5am. Cody left around 4:55 because he had to be at work at 5. We said goodbye and that we would see each other when I got back. I went upstairs and began to pack. After a few minutes, I began to feel weak. I sat on the floor so I could put stuff in the suit case and conserve energy. Mom and Dad came upstairs, saw me, and decided to take me to Urgent Care. I felt dizzy, nauseous, I had a fever and a stiff/sore/swollen next, my spine felt swollen and was very stiff, I had a headache that felt as though it turned into a migraine, my nose was running, my eyes were watery... in fact there wasn't a single area on my body that didn't hurt. I had my blood drawn (which I absolutely HATE having done... it makes me feel even more woozy) After being tested for multiple things including strep throat, they sent my blood to the lab to be tested. 2 hours later I was pulling into the drive way. The doctor was going to call with my lab results as soon as she got them. We found out by 10 that I didn't have mono like she first believed. I had some form of a virus.

Because I was so sick, the doctor told my mom that we should reschedule the trip to San Diego... So that is why I'm writing this blog, when I'm suppose to be on an airplane. We're planning to reschedule the trip for some time in July, but I'm pretty bummed.

And now my writing is ending as I have nothing else to say.

Time to rest and relax and hopefully be all better by tomorrow. I feel really crappy though...

Becca

Prom!

Last night was Prom. I had SO much fun!!!

I went with Cody.


I met up with Becca.


Hung out with YROCers.

(Left to right: Beka, Caitlin, Carina, Brooke, Becky, Haven, and Charles. Seth and Patrick were also there, just not in the picture.)

I have amazing friends and an awesome boyfriend.

Becca and Becca.

One of my best friend's and I share the same first and middle name: Becca Mae. On Monday, Becca and I met at Hagerstown City Park to walk around and talk for awhile. I, of course, brought my camera with me so I could take pictures of our adventure.




She chased a few ducks/geese that day, and this one is my favorite shot of her doing so :)


Cowden, you're a truly unique person who is beautiful inside and out. I love you dearly.



We'll always been friends... even when we're far away from each other :)

Becca

He did it!

Jon graduated! I had to sit there for 2 and a half hours for a moment moment that lasted 5 seconds, but it was worth it. Congratulations Jon! :)

Hebron!

Today Jon took us on a hike at Hebron Rock Colony Falls. Imagine a river that goes down a hill (kind of like a water fall, but it has rock all underneath) and in this river there are HUGE boulders that you have to climb over in order to hike. When you get really close to the top there's a big poll of water because of beaver dams. It's really cool! I'll post pictures later :) Unfortunately mom fell and did a split and is now in a lot of pain.

Since arriving in Boone, I haven't had a decent cup of coffee. I tried some of the coffee at the free continental breakfast at our hotel... It didn't taste that delicious. I also had a raspberry mocah later and it wasn't that great. I'm pretty sure she burn the milk when she steamed it and the shot was way to bitter. Oh well.

I'm still really full from lunch. We went to a place called "The three amigos." I had chicken and cheese quesedillas. That was at 3 and now 5 hours later at 8 o'clock I'm still full. At 9:15 we're meeting Jon and some of his friends at Ruby Tuesdays for dessert. I'm kinda sorta very much so looking forward to this. I want to sugar to help me stay awake.

I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to Cody for a few minutes last night/this afternoon for about 5 minutes. This weekend he's at Aquire the Fire in Baltimore. It's really nice that we're both out of town the same weekend instead of two separate weekends.

And now I'm heading to Jon's apartment.

Farewell!

Becca

North Carolina!

I'm laying here on my bed in the hotel in North Carolina. After the 6 hour car ride me and my family are finally here. Unfortunately, mom has a head ache and wants to take a nap before we go to see Jon. Luckily for me, she brought her lap top and the hotel has free wi-fi.

My brother's best friend McConnell came down to see Jon as well. They're both at Jon's apartment waiting for us to get there.

I think tonight's plans are going out to eat with Jon's roommate (David) and his family. After that we're doing something that I believe Jon called an "Art Crawl." There is a street in the good ol' town of Boone that is pretty much all art galleries, and every Friday they open their doors to everyone. You start at one end and visit all of the art galleries and buy art if you wish to do so (and if it is on sale). The turn out is apparently pretty good. However, I think most people go for the free food and alcohol.

The hotel bed is hard and not very comfortable... Maybe it will grow softer the more tired I become.

51 days!

Today, Mom and I went out and ordered my graduation announcements. I can't believe that in 51 days I'll be done with high school forever! Actually, I'll be done before then, but that's when graduation is. Life goes by so quickly... It seems like just last summer me and my family were getting ready to send my brother off to college, but it was really four years ago... And now he graduates from Appalachian State University on Sunday (Mother's day).
I have four years of college to figure out exactly what I want to do with my life... Actually, I have two before I have to pick a major. I have no idea what I want to be when I 'grow up.' I know I want to get married and have kids... but beyond that, I don't know. Maybe I'll figure it out soon :)

Dumb Doctor

The Doctor said, "Drink fluids, you'll be fine, see you!" I was literally there two minutes. Such a waste of time/money. Luckily, I'm feeling better. My throat is still a little bit raw, and my ear aches a little bit, but I'm able to move around and I'm beginning to be able to eat a little bit again. My mom took really good care of me. She got me whatever I needed and stayed by my side :)

Cody was truly wonderful and came over to check on me a few times. He wouldn't leave my side for hours at a time. We sat on the couch (well, he sat, I was laying down) and watched LOST. He would fetch me whatever I needed. He even brought me a dozen pink roses to cheer me up :)

I'm officially done with finals at HCC! I think I got an A in photography, and a B in English. I'm content with both of those grades :) Only 110 days until classes start at Liberty University! I can't believe how quickly that it is approaching.

Since I'm graduation highschool, my parents are buying me a lap top... but not just any laptop... A MAC! I'm getting a macbook pro. I'm really excited. We're not ordering it until we get a free ipod with purchase (every year at the 'back to school' time, they do that as a promotion).

I'm off to get some more rest,
Becca

P.s. Niquil is my friend :D

Cinderella is sick!

The performance of Cindy and the Godfather went really well! The dress rehearsals we had on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday really helped. Unfortunately, on Monday I began to get a sore throat. I drank tea with honey (thank you for the honey, Cody) and tried to limit my talking. However, when I was on stage, I pushed myself to be the loudest and to really try to be in character. I felt so bleh every night. The performance started Thursday. I began to feel sicker and sicker, but I refused to let anyone know... Sadly, I woke up Sunday with no voice, and completely sore and unable to move... I shouldn't have pushed myself as hard as I did.
I have a doctor's appointment in a half hour... Guess I should leave. Here's hoping I get better.
