 I love to go bowling. I go bowling every Saturday night. I go with my best friend Kenzie . During the school year, Mike also used to go with us. Now since it is the summer, he is back at home so it is once again the two of us. Sometimes we get lucky and Mike comes with us after driving three hours. He is a great bowling buddy!!! We have a great time when we are together at the bowling alley. When we go bowling, it is a way for us to unwind from the week we have had and no that all our problems or obstacles will disappear for the four or five hours we are together. The memories that we have from the bowling alley are so many. Who can forget bowling balls being dropped, Denny, Dylan (aye), Sodas, Jukebox, Backstreet Boys, Sweet Home Alabama, Garth Brooks, Pretty Fly (for a white guy), The Battles with the Vending machine, the "lucky quarters," The M&Ms, The oreo ice cream, the air hockey games, the broken chair, how we always pick the lanes that break, the "regulars," the jokes about people, bowling with a cell phone, all the gutters, the turkeys, the strike wannabees, the pictures, public displays of affections, sleepover after bowling, BK, Family Pizza, the ride to and from, etc. There are so many memories and every weekend more keep forming. Life would not be the same if I didn't go bowling every Saturday night and get a chance to hang out with my friends. Thanks for all the memories and many more to come!!!
Hey Everyone!! My name is Stephanie and I live in New Jersey. I am 21 years old. I am a student at Centenary College and am majoring in Accounting and Mathematics. When I am now working at my accounting internship/job, I like to hang out with my friends, be on the internet, and most importantly go bowling. I go bowling every Saturday night with my best friends, Kenzie and it is always an adventure when the two of us hang out. Kenzie andI hang out a lot over the summer when we go to Las Vegas and Carolina. I also can't wait to have out sleep overs and go to the Cardinals game. The summer is short since I have a job I have to work at during the week but I want to do as much as I can until I have to start working hard again starting in September when school once again begins. I also am involved in a relationship with Sean since June 2005 and I have never been more in love. I hope we are going to be together forever.
To my buddies:
Kenzie: You are one of my best friends and you will always be known to me as my first offical best friend. I truly believe that you are the person that is with me every step of the way. Even though we have differences, I know that you will always support me. I never knew what a true friend was until I met you because you showed me the difference between a good friend and a best friend. I have known you for more than six years now and throughout all the years, we have made so many memories. Denny's, Carolina, Vegas, Keyboarding Class, Cat in the Hat, Bowling memories, Boys, Summers, Babysitting Thursday Nights, Mets Games, Nets Game, List of Its and so many more. Through the arguments and obstacles, we have grown stronger and become better friends than I ever though. I am thankful to know that we will always be there for each other and that nothing will break the bond that we have. I have always only had one sister that treated me differently, but Kenzie you have grown to be my sister. Finally, a sister that I got to chose that I love to spend time with. You mean the world to me!! Many more years to come!!!
Sean: What can I say about the first guy to ask me out on a date and then follow through with it. I had a great time on our date and I hope that there are many more. You showed me a great first date and just for that will you always be special to me. It has been many months since we started dating and we have continued to have a strong relationship. Now we have taken our first vacation together to Miami and it shows me that I care for you so much. Thank you for a wonderful time!!!! You are such a great boyfriend and I am one lucky girl to have you!!! Our future is going to be great!!! I haven't stopped smiling yet!! I love you Sean!!! We will be together forever... I promise!!!
Mike: You are my college buddy and I am so glad I met you. Good ol' business class and group project made me finally meet you. I have now met someone that I can call my best guy friend. We have been through some tough times and we have overcome obstacles. Your are such a close friend to me and I love the fact that you will always cheer me up when I am down and you will always be there on a drop of a hat when I need someone. You are my bowling buddy and I am so happy that you became one of the group. Bowling will never be the same because of all the things we did. Let's not forget out time shared in the sunken lounge too. I was never bored on those days!!! Thanks for Everything!! You truly are a good guy and a great friend to me!!!
Keri: You are a great person that is always there to listen. You always know when to give advice and when to let me vent. It was great that I finally met you and we have some gret memories. The lunch table will never be the same if we aren't both at it. Then there is the miniature golf place in Hackettstown. Oh we have so many fun times. It might just be the fact that we stink at mini golf or the fact that there are too many bees. We have learned two valuable lessons...not to wear bright yellow shirts and not to miss the ball when we are driving golf balls. Thanks for some great memories and advice!!!
Keep Smiling Everyone!!! Have a Great Day!!!

Hey Everyone!! It has been quite some time but there are reasons for that. I have been busy thinking about my life and making decisions that were not necessarily easy but hopefully will be best for my life. Instead of trying to type a total month's worth of activity I am going to just pick out key things that happened.
I took a Clep test for Precalc which was supposed to be Trig. I took the test after studying for a different test. I was so nervous as I had no idea the outcome and it was a $60 gamble. I took the test and I pressed the submit score the two times you need to. I needed a 50 on the test to pass. I looked at the screen and I saw the 50. I was so happy that I got the 50 and all my hard work and hours of studying by reading about 250 pages about Trig came in handy. I don't know how I passed it but I did pass it. I was so happy and the score is hanging on the refrigerator.
That was a huge hurdle for me to face but I realized that was nothing. I found out the next day that Sean would be coming home too close to the date of the concert so I decided that I would ask Kenzie to go instead of Sean. I was very upset and so was he. The next week was terrible as I was ready to give up on our relationship doubting how strong our relationship was. After speaking with family and friends, I made a decision that would stay intact unless Sean said something that was not good. I did not tell Sean my decision as I knew I had to talk to him first and then make it official. I would like to thank everyone that was there for me who truly helped me come up with the right decision.
The next huge event was what I had waited for a long time... the Mariah Carey Concert!!! She had not toured for 5 years and I have liked her for about 8 years. I love all her songs and her lyrics tell the story of my life. I bought expensive tickets that were very great. I brought Kenzie with me to the concert which was great as we had a blast. We had no seats but special VIP general admission tickets. She performed 3 songs being not more than 5 feet away from me. When she first came out I had tears in my eyes because I knew that my dream to see her live had finally came true. She did some great songs and it was about 1.5 hours long. Sean Paul opened up and really got the crowd ready. The concert was just so awesome and we finally got home. I was up until 3 am and I was wideawake because it was such a wonderful time. Finally my dream came true and all the bad things in life just diminished for that moment.
As I told Sean after the concert and a good week to think about everything between us, Sean and I met to talk about out situation. I was extremely hurt and he was scared as to see what decision I would make. We met at my house and we just exchanged a hug. We then went to walk around a nearby field by my house since we had some talking to do. We spoke and learned alot about our hopes and dreams. We talked about what we want to do in each of our futures and where and if we fit into each others. We then stopped and sat at a bench. After talking, I knew that my initial decision would be the correct one. As I held Sean in my arms and we hugged and cried together, it was clear that it was time to give him a second chance. We talked about what had to be done in order to strengthen our relationship. We hugged and kissed and promised each other that we would as a couple do things and do what is best for our relationship. My heart was in the right spot and I was happier than ever.
After this event I worked and now I am back at Centenary for my Senior Year. I can't believe that I am graduating this Spring and that I will have to find a new job and also go out into the real world. It is great to be back though as I am seeing my college friends who I missed over the summer and am keeping busy with my 6 classes and job. Hopefully next semester I will not have as heavy as a load but if I do it will be mostly all math classes so I am looking forward to that. I can finally see all my hard work paying off and I only hope that happens within the near future when I need it to.
Sean and I are doing even better than we were doing before his trip. Once again our hurt has turned itself into a positive force causing our relationship be stronger than ever. I have realized that I love him so much that it would take a huge event to ruin that between us. Recently, I have helped Sean through a disagreement that did not involve me but I was there to comfort him. I helped him realize what he was having a problem visualizing. This event showed him and his family that I am a girlfriend that will stick with Sean through anything. He means so much to me and I will always be there for him. I have never loved anyone like I loved him before and hopefully he will be the only one I do. If there is one thing I see in my future, it is that Sean will have some part in my life. I love him so much.
One last note before I go to bed would be the rememberance of all those who lost their lives during September 11, 2001. I feel for those people who have lost loved relatives and I only hope that they were able to grieve and move on with their lives as hard as it may be. It is a day for everyone to reflect about those who they have lost and those who we love. Life is so valuable that remember to tell people how much they mean to you because you never know when time comes and its the last time you will ever see them.
Sweet Dreams and Good Night...
