In eight hours I'll be leaving Billerica for North Carolina. But right now I'm sitting on my couch thinking about everything I will be leaving behind. I have the worlds most amazing friends and an even better family.

In the past few months I have gotten very close to some people and even closer to my good friends. Every week I try to see certain people and fit everyone into my hectic (and travel filled) schedule. You have all seen the imfamous black planner and know when I pull it out..its time to make a date! Every week I look forward to my Gina and Zach dates, Wednesday nights with Ashley and Friday nights in Boston. In between I squeeze in as many people as I possibly can!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past few months.


For Mardi Gras all of my favorite girls went to Dick's Last Resort. We drank disgusting and cheap hurricanes and spent way too much money on appitizers. I required the girls to wear either purple, green, or gold..and of course, my favorites wore masks. These three girls are the ones I tell EVERYTHING too. I have known Veronica and Ashley for the past five years and Danielle is a new friend. They are amazing girls and I am going to miss them SO much!



I spend most of my weekends in Boston listening to amazing live music. This night was a little different than others, I was labeled "that girl who sometimes comes in." I still get a good laugh out of that..I also had a great date because of this night. Who knew, I apparently like older guys. But the girls in these pictures are the reason I posted it. I have known Melanie since I was 16 and started going to Hennessys..I have known Maura for the past few years..they are the constants in my Friday nights. I always have fun with them! Gina and Jess are my Garrisons Girls. In the past few months I have gotten SO close to Gina, leaving her is SO hard.


I took Ashley to see our favorite band for her 23rd birthday. She wore an amazing Wonder Woman shirt...I was jealous because I wanted to wear a Batgirl shirt. Funny, last night in my going away bag she gave me a Batgirl shirt! My roomie knows me SO well. This night was great, we listened to a dirty Jesus song and officially felt old when we were separated from the under 21 crowd.


This night was SO much fun. Me, Jen and Melanie all rocked 80's shirts. After this night, I bought any shirt that had an 80s reference...including my way cool Footloose shirt! I also came out of this night with a date.


SO. This is me and my sister in Jamaica. Most of you know the Jamaica story...there were boys from Alaska, Idaho, Germany and Switzerland. I drank for five days straight. And we danced a lot. We survived Jamaica..and thats the end of that! I'm going to miss my sister a lot, she is one of my best friends and has to deal with me and my craziness.


Can you believe that in my 7 years of going to Happy Hour this is the only picture I have of me and Melanie with the guys? I have had so many great Fridays at Hennessys. The staff, the bands, the crowd..I live for my Friday nights in Boston. Besides my family and close friends I will miss Hennessys the most. Also, this night I played tambourine...its official, I have no musical talents.


Oh..what a night. Too much wine. I should have been kicked out of Hennessys..but instead I'm still kicking myself in the butt for this night. Note to self: Don't ask permission to date people. (side note..thats Andre in the background, at this point I didn't know who he was..who knew I had a picture of him!)


Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good scorpion bowl! Sadly, I have recently found out that NO ONE down south has ever heard of them! The four of us drank 3 scorpion bowls and listened to some horrible karaoke. OH, I'll miss Boston!


Hardcore Fast Times Animals! I made shirts for me and Jen and totally rocked them.


First, look how horrible we look in this picture. This was from the night we both decided we had a conscience..got more than half way to Rhode Island and then I made her turn around. OOPS!


This is my six year old boyfriend Zach. Sometimes we hold hands and one time I got a kiss. I look forward to my weekly date with Gina and Zach. I think Gina is a great Mom and is raising a wonderful little boy. I'm going to miss them SO much.



I went to four Red Sox games this season. I believe Boston won them all, except for THIS game. Me and John suffered through the longest game EVER, made fun of tattoos, and entertained ourselves with the longest "wave" ever...oh and then we got stuck on the T for what seemed like FOREVER. Whats so random about John is that he is from Billerica...and we met in Hennessys. Small world!


This was probably the most random night of my LIFE. Boston on a Thursday with Jen, John and Andre..while wearing a sweatband. John actually won't drink with me anymore because of this night..and after looking at the pictures from the night..I don't blame him!


16 hours in a car with these girls and they still love me. Myrtle Beach was AMAZING this year. We spent the days in the sun, eating yummy food and having TOO much fun at night! This night we went to a Cirque show, another night we went to Medieval Times, and on our final night..bar hopping at Broadway...the night that coined the phrase "You're only strangers until you share a pizza!" I will never look at a La Quinta the same again!


Look at how much fun we're having in this picture! My first going away party was a blast. Way too many scorpion bowls! I'm going to miss this group of people so much. I've worked at Garrisons for 6 years and made some of the most amazing friends. I can't believe me and Jacy are leaving after so long.


MONDAY NIGHT CREW! My favorite shift EVER. We had our own set of rules and our own way of doing things. Breaking down at 5:30? NOT A PROBLEM!


My Garrisons Girls at Hennessys. I will miss these three the most. Maria (my favorite), Gina, and Khristi. The joke has always been that Maria is my favorite, which makes my Garrisons Girlfriend jealous! Gina, my human journal. There is nothing I don't tell her, and she has never judged me on any of my decisions.  I've only known Khristi for a little over a month, but I knew the moment I met her I was going to like her. AND now she is a fan of LOST!


My PARENTS and GRANDPARENTS surprised me at Happy Hour. I don't think I have ever been more excited! I have been begging them to come in for YEARS and the fact that they came out for my last night in Boston made me SO happy. They finally got to see what I love so much about that place! And Jeff came out, which was SO awesome! The big joke is that this is going to be our family Christmas Card..I would laugh SO hard if I got this in the mail! My parents are amazing, I know they don't want me to leave but they want me to experience new things. I'm going to miss them SO much.


All of my favorite girls at Henessys. An amazing night with amazing people..I love you girls.


I'm so happy to be going on my adventure and starting a new chapter. I will never forget any of my amazing friends.
