the past few days...

have been wonderful. i spent another lazy week in Bowling Green, went to my friend Mary Grace and my boyfriend Eddie's graduation parties, and said good bye to a few friends before they left for the summer. i finally got to see some live bluegrass at the Rosine Barn Jamboree with Meg, Leah, Eddie, Ryan, Greg, and Alan, and i'm going to try to convince my parents to go with me to check out The Romp, a four-day music festival in Owensboro in the end of June.

i also cut off 12 inches of my hair to donate to Locks of Love! the feeling of running my fingers through my newly short 'do' is a tiny version of the great freedom and newness of summer. i'll try to get some pictures uploaded soon.

on the way to Eddie's graduation party in Elizabethtown, we came upon a little friend on the road, and this is what happened:

now i'm back in Louisville trying to make sense of packing and "to do" lists and getting ready for my graduation party on Friday. i'm pretty pumped about my family and friends getting to all meet each other after four years!
