Rascal Flatts/ Taylor Swift---Graduation Party---Im Leaving

On Friday night I went to the Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift concert. It was AMAZING...to say the least. I was supposed to go with my best friend, emily but at the last minute Thursday night she got really sick and went to the hospital. Dont worry, she is okay now. Turned out to be just a little summer virus. I wish Emily could have gone but I still had a really good time with my sister in law Nicole! It was so crowded that people were standing on steps!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Saturday, the 14th I had my Graduation. Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. Some people even had a little too much fun...if you get what I mean. :0) My aunt got sick and my dad acted pretty goofy. But it was all worth it! I had such a great time and it was wonderful to see everyone all in one place. Im getting SO excited about going to school. And get this, Chase can walk!!!! YAY! It is just too darn cute. He wobbles a little but he sure does get places. As long as he has something to pull himself he is good to go. Sam left yesterday at my party for vacation so I won't be seeing him until I get back from Junior Miss. I had such a good time at my party. Everyone was so relaxed. It was GREAT! Thanks to all who came!

Im getting ready to leave for Mobile. Crazy. I can't believe it is already here. I have to be at the airport at 5:30 am!! I have no idea how Im going to get up so early but Ill do it somehow. Ill be posting pictures online at nbc14online.com so I hope you all registered!!! Ill be talking to you soon!

Love,

Nelle

My day for leaving to head towards Mobile, Alabama is getting REALLY close. I can't quite believe that it is already here or the fact that Im actually going. I hope I have everything, if not then oh well. Im a bit stressed since when I finally get back from 2 weeks for Junior Miss, my family and I are taking a few days to relaz at the beach. I will definately need it. Not only do I have to pack and make sure I have everything for Junior Miss, I have to pack a bag for my mom to bring down for vacation too. I have a lot to do! But Im going to take a break becuase tomorrow is my graduation party and I really just want to enjoy it. If you are coming, I really look forward to seeing you! It is tomorrow, June 14th from 2pm- 6pm. TTYL

Junior Miss

My day to leave for Mobile, Alabama is approaching soon! Now that all the paperwork is done and sent in, I finally have the chance to just breathe and relax. I know some of you wanted to keep in touch with me while I was there and I now have the perfect way. America's Junior Miss has set up a website for all of the states where each night we will be responsible for writing on it at least 15 minutes. They are also giving us a camera phone to use to take pictures non stop to post also. All of you can log on at anytime and leave me a little message. It will be a great way to keep in touch with everyone. I will be missing all of you so much it would mean a lot to have you guys check this out everyone once in a while. I got some information on it and hopefully you all can figure it out from here.

I GRADUATED!

On Saturday, May 31, 2008 I graduated from high school. What an amazing feeling that was. I still can't quite believe that Im not in high school anymore. My brother, sis in law. and my nephew all came to St. Louis. I was so glad to see all of them again. It was wonderful. Here are a few videos and pictures.

It Ends Tonight

High School is over. The place that I thought I would never get out of. I can't even believe it. I thought for sure I would cry yesterday leaving school for the last time but I didn't. I don't think it has truly hit me yet. It felt like it took so long to finally get to senior year and now its all over. No more tests. No more projects. No more homework. ITS SUMMER! Now my days will be filled with getting ready for Junior Miss and getting ready for the new stage in my life...college! GO TIGERS!

Junior Miss

As you all know, I will be traveling to Mobile, Alabama for the America's Junior Miss Nationals. Last week I got the chance to travel to St. Richard's School to introduce myself as Missouri's Junior Miss and to have some fun. Also, I just found out today that while I am in Mobile they will be supplying me with a camera phone to take pictures constantly and then upload them to a blog. I am responsible for writing in this blog for 15 minutes every night so all of you guys at home can keep up with everything I am doing. You will have an ooppurtunity to comment on it with little messages you want to give me or anything like that. I also found out where you can watch the show if you are unable to get to Alabama to see it in person. The link is below.

"
The 2 hour finals night will be streamed LIVE on www.nbc15online.com. This is not a
television broadcast but, your families are more than welcome to set up viewing
parties in your hometowns. It simply takes a computer for your friends and
family to watch from the comfort of their own home, you can call the AJM office
with any questions, 251.438.3621.
ØYou will also find the link to the LIVE stream in the following pages. The two
dates to test the LIVE stream prior to the finals are June 17th at 2 pm and June
18th at 4 pm."

More information on the blog when I get mine all set up.

Much Love,

Nelle

p.s. Jewlia Gewlia- I miss you

Here so soon?

Tomorrow is the big day. The one year anniversary for me and Sam. Excited? Most definately! Astonished? yeah. Who would have ever thought that Sam and I would make it this far? But here we are still together approaching the one year. We had a pretty rocky start which Im sure most of you all know, so how did we make this work? I do not even know. All that I do know is that Im most definately glad that we did. I've been in long term relationships before and what I've come to realize is that I was not truly happy. Sam has a way of pushing my buttons but then makes me laugh so hard I can hardly take it. So now we're off to MIZZOU together and I couldn't imagine going with anyone else. Happy One Year to me and Sam!

P.S. Props to Mrs. S for the awesome picture up above. Her photography is simply amazing. Check her out..... emilyphotography.typepad.com
