The Beginning (by Allison)


Well guys, last night we all graduated. It was a bittersweet moment, because I think we are all ready to grow up and start our own lives, but we will miss our friends, family, and the comfort of home at the same time. Loli is already on her way to Romania for the summer (Have fun Loli! We can't wait to hear all about your trip!), Jordan is probably still sleeping with her cat (Just kidding. I'm sure she's awake by now. But she is probably hanging out with her cat.....because we love cats!), and I've been looking at pictures and organizing my room all day. Well anyway, it's going to an amazing summer. I can't wait to see what life has in store for us, and how we meet it head on. We are going to have so many adventures, learn so many things, and change the world. Power to the IIT! I think I'm most excited about living where *I* want to live. All my life, I've had to move around because the Army told us to. Now it's finally my turn to decide where I will live, where I will visit, where I will work, where I will stay. I'm hoping it will be by the beach somewhere of course!

The end of high school marks the beginning of our blog. It's a chronicle of our lives, our experiences, and (most importantly) our adventures. We are taking a big and final step into the start of our futures. We are living our lives. I've been sitting inside all day, but I'm going to grab a book and head outside now. The sun is shining, a sweet summer breeze is blowing, birds are chirping and flowers are blooming. I'm going to sit outside and read while I daydream about the future. Life is beautiful, so I am going to live it!
