let the countdown begin....

city-county rocked. i love my six and unders. a lot. i still see them at the pool. it's always "coach caroline will you come play with us?" of course i do. i love that i feel so wanted and welcome at the pool. hopefully i'll find a GOOD place to feel like that in cola. hopefully it'll be younglife. i really would love that. speaking of which, i'm really gonna miss my friend michael. i'm gonna miss the good talks we have. i go deeper with him than i do with anyone else. i like that we encourage each other. i'm going to miss that a lot.
i keep thinking of things i'll miss. i'll miss forest hills. i'll miss dave and erik. i'll miss yl and campaigners. i'll miss my brothers and sisters in christ. i'll miss my core group "the 5" if you will from high school. abby, alex, manderzzz, and beckss. ahh they're just great. i feel so free to be myself around them i love it.

i'm going to miss ali too. for you guys who don't know, ali is my new friend from Australia. she's so cool. she's been here for three months with her aunt and uncle, who know my aunt and uncle and kerry introduced us. i take her with me to most everything. all my friends know and love her. and she's so awesome. she leaves to go back to australia in like a week. i'm real sad to see her go.

this is me, ali, and alex. :)

she's so great.

oh yeah, and kate leaves for WC in like 4 days. my 2nd goodbye. i hope to get better at this as the weeks (2, to be exact) go by. some will be hard. i feel like i have to say what i want to to everyone before i leave. especially one person in particular. he's helped me a lot, and i don't see him during the year. i don't like saying goodbye, but it's gonna be necessary in these last 2 weeks. unfortunately.
