I used to hate school. I used to dread waking up every morning. I knew that there was going to be lots of hard work and that I would come home tired and upset. Last year was possibly the worst year of them all. There were days when I didn't know if I would make it through.
This year has been great. I am a Senior and loving it. I still have work and I still get tired but there is one thing that keeps me going. I LOVE my FRIENDS. I love each and every single person that is in my class. Most of us have known each other for years. We have jokes that only our grade gets. we've been to Europe together. We are a FAMILY. I hate the fact that next year we will all be apart. Even though the school year has just started it feels like the days are flying by. I am trying to cherish every single last moment that I have with these people. We may not be happy with each other all the time, but we will always love each other. The experience that I have been able to have at Rockbridge is like no other. No other school has classes that are as close as ours are.
I hate thinking about all of us leaving. I wish we could just start our own college that all of us could go to together. We may have some rough days here and there but I am so excited to spend the year with these brothers and sisters. I am so blessed to know all of them and I love them all so much!
Peace and Love,
Em
P.S. These cupcakes barely lasted a day. lol!
Today after school we headed to the pumpkin patch to pick up some little guys to decorate with. There were pumpkins everywhere! I picked up a small pumpkin and two miniatures for my room. It really felt like fall going to get them. There was a tent filled with home made apple butter, and squashes, and all different kinds of jams. I am still trying to decide what I want to carve on my pumpkin. 
Peace and Love, 
Really loving these lyrics today: 
Downed my Pumpkin Spice coffee every 5 seconds because it was freezing! 
This is our prom picture
Yesterday Alyssa, Heather, and I headed to Belvoir Mansion to do a Fall Photoshoot! It was so much fun and I couldn't be happier with the way the pictures turned out. It was cold and we downed a lot of coffee but it was well worth it. I will post a majority of the pictures in the next few days but for now here are a few of my favorites.
