I've got the blues...

an invite from our friend Ashley got us out of the house and into the City Park for some Blues festivities. (it was free, so we definitely couldn't turn it down) the weather was nice enough to hold off the rain while we were there, so i got the chance to snap some decent pictures...

look who it is?! Katie and Lindsay from the gallery!look! it's a blues band!

and if you're wondering why i've got the blues...it's because one of my oldest and dearest best friend is leaving town!

that's Sean (isn't he special?) and we've been friends since the middle school. he's getting ready to embark on a journey of a lifetime as he travels across the country with four others. it's really bitter sweet cause i'm really happy for him, but at the same time, i'm going to miss him like heck! they are planning on being on the road for a whole year (if i'm not mistaken), but Sean's planning on traveling longer after their road trip is over. they're also planning on setting up a blog to write about their experiences, as well as using it to stay in touch with their friends on the East Coast. anyway, J and i will both be missing him dearly. i'm in the process of making him a little something something to take along for the trip and J's getting him some books to read along the way. summer won't be the same without you buddy...
to make matter worse, my family is leaving in about five days. (like i've mentioned before) i'm going to miss them like crazy also. my mom and i are very close, so not seeing her again till August is going to suck...i'm sorry to be blogging on a sad note. i've also been rather emotional (because of all of this) and under the weather lately (the allergy bug is a nasty bug!), so if i get a little behind on the posting, it's not because i'm being lazy. i promise you that after i gather myself together i'll be back to normal again. i hope you'll be sticking with me.
