2005 came and went.  I'll now be graduating in 5 months and moving out a little after that.  Wow.  As I was thinking how to write this I know it took a lot of research.  You see, I drew a major blank from February to May.  The beginning of 2005 started out good then took a nasty turn a month later. 

Starting in March I got a job and grew much closer to my two best friends because of the tragic event that occured in February.  I also really focused on school and made good grades and I believe I practiced a ton!!  I pushed people away from me and had much rebuilding to do over the next few months.  I do know that in February and March I went to a few Winterguard Competitions and a couple basketball games. 

I can't remember anything that happened in April except that Amy had a birthday.  I also think this is when Amy bought a car which gave me the green Saturn.  I also looked at several colleges over Spring Break in April.  Prom was fun too.  I went to Oakland's for prom committee and had fun working it.  I also spent much of this month filming a video for church that we showed for Night at the Oscar's, a fundraising event for youth group.

I spent most of May planning Megan's surprise 16th birthday party with Leah and I remember a guard party that required a date that was very hard o find but I had fun taking Ben.  In the end of May I began talking to A.J., which was also a very interesting experience that didn't last long at all.  

In June we took a family trip to Williamsburg and New York that started out very rocky because of relations with parents.  The trip was decent and was a nice break from everything.  That took two weeks in June and it was fun. 

July brought around some very interesting people again.  I went to Jenna's birthday party and met Trey.  The hurricanes in July also kept me from going to RYM, which I was actually looking forward to this year.  Then band camp started and the first practice was amazing because I just knew it was going to be an amazing season and it really was the best since freshman year.  The learning of ballet made me really nervous but I think it helped in the long run.  I also started getting attached to someone at this point and this relationship only grew.  My 18 birthday was also at the end of July.  It is one that I will never forget.  I had to go get senior pictures made on my birthday and then I had a band practice that night, in which I was surprised by Leah, Malory, Megan, Jeremy, and Kelly when I walked out the band room door.  They attacked me with silly string and they had put sequins all over my car (which were not fun to get off by he way).   Leah, Christi, Megan, Sarah, and Jenna had also decorated my car the night before at my party and it looked really cute.  I also auditioned for and made the Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra.

August started football games and the beginning of my senior year.  I had complications with my class schedule at first but now I love it! 

September started band competitions and we did really well this year and it made me very happy to be a good band for once in 3 years.  The football team was not so hot this year but thats ok.  September ended with Trey finally asking me out after months of getting to know eachother.

October began with Fall Break.  This year it was extra special because mom and dad let me bring Leah with us to Florida.  We met some surfers there and we had a good week despite the nasty weather.  The end of Fall Break also meant Trey and I breaking up because my heart was somewhere else...  October also ended football games and competitions for band.  The end of October also began the happiest relationship in awhile.  Great Grandma Vanderbaan's life also ended in the end of October. 

November started and not much happened this month.  I was busy preparing for Mid-State an doing other things.  I also started Winterguard this year and November started training for that.  I'm having fun with guard and it's a good thing for me to be doing. 

December is obviously the freshest month of last year.  The month started with Mid-State auditions and actually making it this year.  I had many people pushing me and believing in me and I think that really helped a lot.  The Christmas Parade this year was exciting because it was my last one.  I also saw Jeremy, my long lost Blackman friend, at the parade.  Ben and I celebrated Christmas on the 23 by going to Nashville and going ice skating, enjoying a wonderful dinner at Jimmy Kelly's and exchanging gifts in the restaurant.  Christmas at home was good and our trip to Indiana went ok as usual.  The year ended in a good way with friends and it's looking like a very promising 2006.  Now, if you want you can go to my xanga for my 2006 wish list.
