Commencement

Graduation day, mostly smiles but a few tears. It's a weird time, seems like there isn't much going on in my life that I'm used to. I am now completely in charge of my life. I can do what I want, when I want. This is both terrifying and exciting. The future holds so much but the past should never be forgotten.

The end of a season

Thankful for this guy and his influence in my life. He has changed the way I view myself and all that is around me. Track has pushed me farther than I knew I could be pushed, and having Russell by my side every step of the way made it so much more memorable and valuable to me. Wonderful end of the year track party at the lake, with many tears and many laughs. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
