Dear Diary

I just got back from Daphne, Alabama. I've decided that I'm gonna live either there or in Fairhope when I'm old. It's absolutely divine down there! Monk and Patsy (my dad's parents) live down there in a beautiful house that's right by the bay. Their neighborhood has a pier and it takes less than a min to walk down to it. I wake up every morning around 8 for breakfast when I'm down there and that's about the only place I'll voluntarily wake up that early. We always sit around the table and talk for about two hours even after we've all finished eating. I take a nap about every day down there too cause there's no where we need to be and I have all the time in the world which for some sounds terrible but for me its heavenly.
Since I haven't updated in about three bajillion years I need to do some serious updating. Firstly, I've been accepted to (and accepted the acceptance to) North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega, Ga! I'm super excited about going there next year and seeing where God takes me from there! I had my senior pictures done and finally picked one as exhibited to the side here:
My dear friend Kelly has come back from Covenant for good which is happy/sad. Its happy cause I love having him around and it'll be the last semester the Crisummass's will be together but its sad cause he really loves it up there and loved going to school there. Annie is moving to Mississippi in the Summer and they finally sold their house so now they're living in an apartment up in Roswell. I've already spent tons of time over there and in the summer I'm going with her to Mississippi for two weeks. PIM is having its 20th Anniversary in April and we've started rehearsal for that. I'm in 10 dances and I had the biggest trouble trying to learn all of them this summer at Workshop. School is also starting back up which is depressing as all get out. I'll be taking Anatomy at Chatt Tech this semester and I couldn't be more un excited about a class. I'm terrified I'll fail the class... Which brings me to my next topic: My word of the year is peace.
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
This year is going to be full of change, from my best friend moving to me going off to college. I have been full of fear and uncertainty for this coming year. Thus forth I have picked the word "Peace" to be my word of the year and it is my prayer that God will fill me with HIS peace thru this time of craziness.

Love,
Carolyn

P.S. Happy New Year from the Crisummass's!
