It's almost been a year since my life changed. June 15th, 2006. Just a few more weeks until I see how much of a difference a year can make. I've met so many amazing people.
We got the letters we wrote to ourselves last year in the mail a few days ago. It was pretty funny, actually. Seeing what people wrote to me and what I wrote to myself. It kind of made me realize that a year really changes everything.
To all the people who have changed my life this past year, thank you::
Becky, Ivy, Morgan, Ashley, Lissa, Mandy, Chris, Lisa, Dana, Emilee, Shari, Rachel, Kat, Steph, Amelia, Joyce, Alyson, Alison, Bri, Nicolette, Taylor, Amanda, Becca, Barbie, Krystle, Ana, Ariel, Jana, Aubrey, Brandi, Krista, Michelle, Cyndal, Danielle, Desiree, Shari, Gabby, Lauren, Jessica, Amy, Larry, Kelley, Mighty Mouse Manda, Sarah, Allison, Paula, Kevin, Joe, Nick, John, Garbo, Phil, George, Tim, and countless others, you know who you are. Thank you for everything. For showing me what life is all about. I'm so blessed to have met you all this past year! And to all of my friends who I've known longer than those listed before, you know who you are as well. I love you guys! Thank you so much for sticking with me!
This summer is truly going to be amazing. Los Angeles with my best friend, traveling across the country with some of my other best friends, seeing three kids who have more talent than anyone I've met in my entire life, and so much more. I cannot wait to see what's in store.
June 17th is probably when reality is really going to set in that it's been almost a year (by then, a year and two days).
For those who don't know what happened on June 15th, let me fill you in. I had two tickets to the Aly & AJ concert at the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre. I won a contest on 98.5 KRZ to go meet Aly & AJ, so I wasn't sure if I really was dying to go to the concert. I decided I'd go, and when I was walking down the street, I met Kevin and then Nick. I had heard about the Jonas Brothers the summer before, maybe even earlier, but this was the first I would be seeing them. Little did I know at the time that seeing them was the best thing that could have happened to me. That day was the start of lots of travel, many concerts, meeting some amazing people who are now some of my best friends, and realizing what life is all about. I don't know where I'd be today if I decided not to go to that concert. I'm pretty glad I did. I'd rather not find out where I'd be if I hadn't gone.

Now:::

Anyways, life is amazing right now. Today I couldn't stop smiling.
I've gotta say, I'm pretty excited for the next year. Maybe I'll write my own letter to myself.
Well, just an update on my life for ya. : )
