On To The Next Chapter

This is my last post on this blog. I started it when I was a sophomore in high school, and guess what? High school is OVER. So that brings this blog to an end as well. I'm moving over to a new page, URL to be announced in the end.

Yes. I'm done. High school is over. It's almost a bittersweet feeling to know that you're done with something so big in your life. The last 13 years of school were fun, hard, an adventure! Now it's over and life is becoming real. I have to think about my mission, my future family, a career, college. All of that. The ending of one thing brings the beginning to the best years to come. I can't wait to go and find out what I'm going to be in my life.

Here are some super cute pictures of my friends, family, and myself from graduation this last week.

Two of my Fab Four sisters came to support me at graduation. I love them so freaking much. They called right as we were about to walk in, so I had to run out of the tunnel to meet them. Best sisters ever.

 

Outlaw girls. No matter what, we have all been there for each other since day 1

 My cute friend Jaron Carmen. We met this year and were instant friends. I'm going to miss him so much this summer, and while he is out on his mission.

J. Twin is no new character to this blog. Best friends since 9th grade. So grateful that she has stuck by me through everything. Love her and can't wait to see her become a cardiovascular surgeon.

Cam! I love Cameron Dower. We've become close in the last year. He's my favorite tickle partner. Chile is lucky to get such an incredible guy.

My cute group of friends from this year. They definitely made Senior year a blast.

Austin Flynn, Jaycee Brown, Cameron Dower, Emily George, Zach Lamb, Myself, Scott Wilcox, Sarah Davis, and Weston Flynn.

Cutest freaking boys ever. I'm in love with them.

Wait...we're done?!

Literally jumping for joy.. 

My two very very very best friends. I wouldn't be here without them.

SUCH A CUTE PICTURE. Ignore the Class of 2012 sign... we are from 2013..

Em and I love our friend Zach

 I can't even tell you the last time I had this many family members around.. This was the perfect weekend with all of my extended family.

 Pretty sure this is the most normal you'll ever see us

 So grateful my bff second cousin Dustin could come out. We are the same person, it seems. He's no joke one of my closest, best, most amazing friends. We went on cousin dates a lot while he was here.
I LOVE HIM

 Whoop.. let's get this show on the road

 My best friend of 2 years, Jeffrey Herbert. He came to dinner with us, and to graduation and sat with my crazy family... how amazing is he?

 Wait.. us? Smiling? At the same time??

 Okay that's better..

 Baby brother and sister. We fight, but I really do love them more than anything in the world

 This guy has been there for me through a lot this year. I love my Landon Greenhalgh!

 From seminary buds to graduates.. LOVE THEM

 Aren't they adorable?

 I never give this kid enough credit. He is around when I need him, he knows when I need to talk, and he loves me for who I am. Logan Child, you will always be one of the most sincere and gracious people I will ever meet.

 This is really happening...

 Look! That's me!

 Graduating class of 2013 from Syracuse High School.. That Cuse Cray ;)

 Gracie and Dustin... I love them.

 Hahahahahaha oh my gosh. I love Jaycee Brown like nobodies business.

My tag reads "Hi, my name is Courtney Hamilton and I'm a high school graduate."

Well ladies and gents... that's all I have for ya. It's been a roller coaster for three years. Way too many ups, way too many downs. But I wouldn't trade it for anything. So glad to be done with high school and that part of my life. I love my friends, my family, my church. I'm excited to go and serve a mission this fall. I can't wait to see what else is in store for me. If you want to follow and stay connected, I'm moving over to www.c-shortney.blogspot.com for the next chapter in my life. Thanks for all the comments, views, everything! Until next time, Good luck out there!
