My Day

I had a pretty full day today. My mom had a doctor's appointment in D.C. this morning so Karis, Ryan and I hung out at Walter Reed. After that, we all went to IKEA to get some ideas for dorm room. I absolutely love that store. Their furniture just has so much personality. So that was really fun. Then we had to go run a few errands, but that's boring so I'll leave that part out. After that, I had to go pack for our trip to Pennsylvania. We left for Pennsylvania at around 4:15. Although it looked like a gorgeous day outside, we actually didn't have the best weather for our trip. About 30-45 minutes into the trip, we hit a REALLY bad rain storm. I hate driving in rain storms. Really kind of scary cuz you can't see the markings on the road or the road signs and you have all these 18-wheelers spraying additional water onto your windshield like it's their job to make your driving experience even worse. Yeah, whatever. Then we ran into 3 major traffic jams. We were really lucky to be able to make it to Chambersburg, PA before graduation rehearsal started. And we got grab a quick dinner before so an extra bonus there.
At graduation rehearsal, we estimated that there are about 38 in the Mason-Dixon Homeschool Class of 2008. Of those 38, I know no one besides myself. And I am not totally sure of that. Kind of a bit different circumstances than most kids are accustomed to for graduation, I guess. But it should be interesting. And I promise to post pictures soon. I'm not really sure what I think of the ceremony so I'll have to tell you about that.
After we got done with rehearsal, we were supposed to help decorate the reception area for tomorrow. However, it was kind of disorganized so we helped a little bit and then left.
After everything associated with the graduation rehearsal, we went to our home for a day-the Woodrum's House. Thanks guys so much for letting us stay here! Leah, Karis, Ryan, and I watched August Rush. And for anyone who has not seen that movie, I highly recommend it. Especially if you like music. It's kind of different from any other movie put out that I have heard of. I mean the story is pretty common but the way it was told was definitely different and appealing. But anyways, that was my day. It was a great day. Kinda sorry to see it end. But hopefully tomorrow is even better!
