Last Friday was a big day for me. Not only was I pronounced cancer free, but Pierce asked me to be his date his prom tonight. Of course, I had said yes! Not only had I never been to a prom before, but I my best guy friend asking me out on a date was something that I had fantasized about over the years, even though I liked and only thought of him as a best friend.As Mrs. Cooke took pictures of My best friends, Piper's date, and myself, I could not help but smile. After all, tonight was going to be awesome!

When I was twelve years old, I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Ever since then, I have had to deal with intensive chemo and radiation. Even though they became less and less intense and the visits less and less often, they were still intense.Moving on, let me tell you a little bit about today. Today is my yearly visit with my oncologist, Dr. Sasha Reyes. During today's visit, she is going to tell my family, best friends, and the results of my blood work. Something tells me that she is going to tell me that the Leukemia is still there. After all, that is what she has told me of all the visits before. Just like all these years, however, I still pray that the results will be different someday.

"So, birthday girl," Beckett smiled. "What did you think of that ride?""I loved it!' Beth replied, bearing a huge grin. "Rock N' Roller Coaster ft. Aerosmith is my favorite roller coaster here ad Disney!"For her eighteenth birthday, it had been decided that Beth, her parents, Beckett's parents, and Beckett go to Disney's Hollywood Studios to celebrate. Due to the fact that it was her birthday, Beth had gotten to pick. Due to the fact that this park was her favorite out of all four, Beth had chosen this one to celebrate at.

So far on this tour, Beth (My longtime secret love interest) and I have performed a show every other day since our first show on the tour. After all that performing, it is safe to say that Beth, our parents, and I need a mini-vacation. With this said, that is exactly what we are getting! From now until Friday, we will be staying at my family's and my extra large beach house in Henley Beach, Florida. Not only are we going to get to go to Walt Disney World tomorrow to celebrate Beth's big birthday, but all of us are also going to get to spend time relaxing and doing whatever we would like! Truth be told, I am excited about this mini vacation!

Today is my eighteenth birthday, and I am having what seems like the best birthday that I could ever ask for! Not only did my parents take me out to a yummy breakfast, and present me with awesome gifts, but Mom and I went to a spa and got the works (mani/pedis, massages, facials, etc). We also went to our normal salon and got haircuts!With this said, it has been an amazing birthday, so far!Moving on, let me tell you about what is going to happen tonight. Tonight is my birthday party, and it is going to be a pool party at my family's mansion. It is also going to be a barbecue (Dad is barbecuing). Ten of my closest friends, including my best friend, Millie, and my boyfriend, Miles, are going to be in attendance! I am super excited about tonight!

"Hi, Miles!" Mandy answered in a chipper tone over the phone. "What's up?""Hi, Mandy. I was just calling to see if you had any plans for tonight.""Not that I know of." Mandy replied, thoughtfully.

I asked, my heart skipping a beat."Really!" Mandy cheered. "What time do I need to be ready?""5:45.""Sounds perfect! I will see you then!"

"I'm glad that you like it!"I truly have the coolest tour bus ever. Not only does it have a large bathroom (Complete with a shower), roomy and comfortable bunk beds, it also had a large bedroom for my parents, a living area, and a large refrigerator. Truth be told, it was the perfect bus to spend an entire summer traveling in.As all of us headed out, I could not help but feel excited! After all, I had a feeling that this was going to be the best tour and summer ever!

As far as my best friends knew, they would be going to camp for the summer. That is exactly what their parents and my parents wanted them to think. The truth is that, if they wanted to, my best friends would be coming on tour with me this summer. With this said, I hope that they want to and choose to go. After all, it would make the tour more fun.

"Thanks for agreeing to go with me tonight, I wanted to be a little selfish and have some one on one time with you." Theo said, thoughtfully, looking a little nervous. "Is that okay?""It's more than okay." I smiled, sincerely. " I was wanting some one on one time with you, too." After dinner last night, Theo had asked me if I would like to join him for some dancing at the teen club tonight. After asking my parents, and getting their approval, I had said yes. After all, I am always up for some one on one time with Theo.

Dear Journal, It has been three years since I have seen my best friends face to face. Sure, we texted, talked on the phone, and facetimed daily, However, that is nowhere near the same as seeing them face to face.Tonight, however, that is about to change. To celebrate my homecoming, my parents, best friends, and my best friends' parents will be going out to dinner tonight. Instead of all of us going in separate cars, we are all taking a limo. My family's driver and good friend, Dennis, will be taking us and picking us up! Truth be told, I am so excited about tonight that I can barely stand it!-Tinsle

Making my way out of the gate, and stepping on to the grounds of DFW, excitement fills my chest. After three years of being away from my family, best friends, and friends, I am finally home!After one more moment of taking all of it in, I make my way over to baggage claim. After all, that is where my wonderful and amazing parents are waiting for me!

"I have a fun idea for us." Lee smiled, as we slow danced. "How about you and I compete in a dance off?""That sounds like fun!" I replied, sincerely. "But we would need a fast song to do that, and this isn't it.""Don't worry, I've got it covered."Before I knew what was happening, Lee was going up to DJ booth to talk to Mike, the activities coordinator. Moments later, they were smiling and nodding heads.

As my amazing counselor, cabin mates/ longtime good friends, and I made our way from the mess hall to the worship center, I could not help but feel excited. Tonight was the first Monday night talent show of the summer, and I was pumped! Not only was tonight's talent show going to be awesome, it was also going to be a good ice breaker. Finally, it would help the new campers and old get to know each other, and show off what they could do! Truth be told, I am very excited about tonight!

Every summer since the age of ten, seventeen year old Paisley Moore had called Hensley Christian Camp, which was located two hours outside of Orlando, her summer home.

Truth be told, Paisley looked forward to this time at camp every year.As she made her way to her cabin, Paisley could not help but smile. After all, she had a feeling that her last year here at HCC was going to be the best yet.

"Flight 687 to Los Angeles, California is boarding." The flight attendant announced over the loudspeaker. "I repeat Flight 687 to Los Angeles, California is boarding.""Well, I guess that's me." I said, gently. "I am going to miss you guys so much.""We are going to miss you more." Dad said, as he, Mom, my sisters, Kristin, and I shared a big group hug. After the group hug, I began to make my way to the gate."Tinley, wait!" Someone called from behind me.Turning around, I noticed Kipp quickly making his way towards me.

In just forty five minutes, my high school graduation would begin. Even though I am very excited, I am also sad. Today will be the last time that I see my fellow graduates for awhile. This is due to the fact that I am moving to L.A. in two days. Even though I am excited about this move, as well as living with my amazing and awesome Aunt and Uncle, it is still hard for me to have to say goodbye.

Sitting at the table and enjoying the meal with her table mates (her family and best friends), as well as with the thirty-eight other party guests, Tinley thought about all what today had brought her. Not only had she enjoyed opening presents and a birthday breakfast at IHOP with her family, but she and Kristin had treated Tinley to a girl's time (Haircuts, massages, and mani/ pedis) to get ready for tonight.Speaking of tonight, let me tell you a bit more about it. For her birthday party, Tinley and her family had book the Hotel Icon's ballroom in advance for her birthday celebration.

Moving on, the fun is going to continue tonight! Not will we be barbequing tonight, but we are also going to watch the fireworks under the stars. Truth be told, it is going to be a fun evening!-Summer

A few days ago, Cole and Freddie had decided that they were going to ask Fiona and Summer out on a double date. However they wanted to make it special. They were going to buy two roses and two cards and put them on the girls' beds for them to find. This morning, they had bought the roses and cards. Now it was time to carry out the plan.After watching Fiona, Darsey, Ellie, and Summer sunbathing on the beach, the guys went to the Fiona and Summer's bedroom and placed the roses and cards on the beds.

As the girls arrived at their room, and put their things away, they excitedly chattered about how much fun this summer was going to be! Not only would Summer be spending the summer with her best friends and secret crush, but she would also be spending the summer with her good friends, too! Even though she was a little nervous about meeting the Priors, Fiona was also excited, too! After all, they were new people to get to know, and very likely to become friends with! She was also excited about getting to spend the summer with her best friend and her family! After all, it was because of them that she and her brother were even here in the first place!

"So, what are they like, girl?" Fiona inquired, as the limo escorted her and her lifelong best friend, Summer, to Mall of America. "Are they nice people?""They are and so much more." Summer replied. "You are going to love them, I promise."For as long as she could remember, Summer and her parents had spent every summer at there extra larger beach house in Henley Beach, Florida, with their longtime good friends, the Prior family. The family consisted of Mom, Naomi, Dad, Peter, and triplets, Ellie, Darsey, and Cole. Both families considered each other as a second family. That is how close they were.Even though Summer and her family would be meeting up with the Prior's this summer, there would be two more guests joining them this summer. Freddie and Fiona would be joining them. This made Summer very excited! Not only would her best friends in the entire world be with her this summer, but they would also be meeting her longtime good friends! Smiling to herself, Summer had a feeling that things would run very smoothly, and that yet another awesome summer would be had by all.
