Haha, I thought I should upload a journal at least once in a year

I completely forgot that my birthday is tomorrow July seventh... Turning 17 'n all... My driving test ain't until August tenth though So I'm not free until then. (Still only a provisional liscence, but better than nothing, right? )

ANYway.. I've been in Colorado for the past week and a half. Mostly in the mountains, but we spent some time with my cousins in Denver. I also checked out CU in Boulder, and I LOVE it. I heard that they have a great art program, and I would be forever happy if I were accepted. So... we're headin' back home... on my birthday. ...and then I'm leaving the eleventh for Europe! I'm going with a "People to People" delegation to Switzerland, Germany, France, Belguim, The Netherlands, and London for eighteen days So I won't be home until August.. So excited!!

Oh no Patrick is going to be twice his size by the time I get back. (Patrick is our new puppy we got in ...May? Yes, May. He's growing way too fast and he's way too cute. Yellow Lab by the way His portrait is in my gallery.)

I've determined that this is is a pretty stupid journal entry; sorry about that.

Regardless, Colorado is sooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful, as always! If only those beetles would stop killing the pines already
