i've officially decided that it really sucks not being able to walk without crutches!! i hate it so much! i can't do anything very easily at all, therefore i can't really go places, like the mall with anyone or something. it SUCKS!! i miss my friends a whole bunch right now because i haven't been able to go out and do anything with any of them, except for the people in my youth group. sara..megan, i really miss you guys. i keep reading in your diaries how you guys miss everyone..how you've been able to hangout or see certain people..or how you're excited to see certain people..but i haven't been one of thoughs people that you say you miss or want to see! i know that doesn't exactly mean that you guys don't miss me..but i want you both to know that i miss you guys so much right now and i wish, more than anything, that i could see both of you right this very second. i miss you guys so much it isn't even funny, and i guess i hope you miss me, at least a little. alright, enough of that! yesterday (thursday) braden and i hungout most of the day because he just got his license. we went and got snow cones..which were very yummy. then we stopped by the incredible playground but didn’t stay very long because it was way, way too hot...then we went to hallmark and looked at very pretty cards for 20 minutes, to waste time, before going to see Madagascar (the cutest movie in the entire world) and afterwards we went to arby’s for dinner. it was a very long but fun and interesting day. today (friday) i didn't do a whole lot until around 5:00 when i left to go to casey and sam's for our youth group party. absolutely everyone was there and it was really cool! i love my youth group very, very much! we're all extremely close and it's amazing. jamie was there tonight too..she finally got back from vacation yesterday, and she brought me a postcard that she wrote a little note on. it was very cute. i missed her a lot! i had a lot of fun tonight..but my mind was somewhere else and everyone kept asking me what was wrong. i guess i just missed a lot of people that weren't there (aka sara, megan and lauren) i was also upset that i couldn't swim along with everyone else..and that i didn't really get to talk to jamie a whole lot until 30 minutes before i left. i missed her so much the past 2 weeks while she was gone on vacation and i guess i just wanted to be able to talk to her, alone, for a little bit. oh well! i'll see her sunday. things will eventually get better though, right? i mean, i'll be off my crutches pretty soon..i hope..and then i should be able to do stuff again. lauren will be home soon also, which is definitely a major plus!! i miss her like crazy! things can't stay horrible forever..i've learned that! so i guess i'll just wait for everything to slowly get better! okay, later my loves! p.s. 16 more days! or is it 15?
