Sunday A day of Not Knowing is Scary

Hello again, everyone! Hoping all of you had a great weekend.

I spent yesterday with my dad trying to finish my apartment. My dad has built an apartment above our barn for when I go to college so that I feel more independent being on my own. We were creating the kitchen area right now, I found this beautiful recycled cherry wood flooring. I am helping him to place it on the floor through out the apartment. Then I wanted an accent wall of the wood paneling. I loved spending the day with my dad because I had this feeling that I was not going to be around the house that much longer. That scares me to death not knowing my future whether it is here or somewhere else. I am not one to plan I usually plan for the day not the week, I am just not that type of person. But it is scary not knowing what could happen day to day.

"Dad do you know things ahead of time sometimes?" I asked him

"It is called intuition! But no I have not really experienced it before, why?" he asked back

"I don't know! I have been experiencing all these feeling that are confusing me!" I told him

"UH, is this the talk because if it is you need to ask your mother not me!" he said

"Dad, no I am just confused about things that are happening and it is scary!" I told him pushing him

"Only you can fight through your fears! Julia just stand up to your feelings or fears." he told me. My dad is a typical man try to back out of a serious conversation. But I loved my dad for spending this time with me. He is a busy man being the sheriff and his only deputy just left the department. So he is currently interviewing applicants, it has not been going so well.

Dale Wholeheart, is a large man he is 6'5" and 295 lbs. He gives the best bear hugs in the world. When you need one and he wraps his arms around you you just melt into him. That is my dad a big old bear full of love for his family, now see him at work he is stern and scary. But I have to laugh at him because I know the truth!

Well got to get back to work, talk to you later!

A Night to Veg and Bond with The Girls!!

Good Morning Everyone! It felt so good to sleep in for once, it has been a crazy & busy week! SO last night me, Rose, and the two Heather's vegged out at my place and bonded even more then we already are.

We had a pizza, movie marathon, when I say marathon I mean we order some of the best pizza in the World and watch nothing but scary freaking movies all night. Our favorite pizza in the world we have to drive into Columbus for, but trust me I would do it daily for this pizza. We ordered 5 X-Large pepperoni pizzas with extra cheese, well done, double cut, LOL, we think we are not eating as much when we get the smaller sizes. Minelli's Pizza in Columbus is the one my parents grow up on, and then they built the one in Hilliard, Ohio we started to go there because it was closer.

OMG! They have the best Italian food I have ever had. I use to get their home made spaghetti all the time it was amazing, it was like the noodles melted in your mouth and I have yet to ever find the favor or texture anywhere else. But their main event the pizza the holy grail item on the menu, excuse me but my mouth is going to water why I explain this pizza to you. The crust is so thin and crispy, the flavor of the crust is indescribable, when you order pizza sometimes the crust has this you know bread dough flavor, but their crust has this flavor that no one else has ever been able to match. Then the sauce I could eat buckets of, the cheese taste so fresh and melts like nothing else. You know when you see those commercials and the cheese stretches from the pan to your mouth that is it, that is what you get every time. Last but not least the pepperoni's are so delicious, when it comes to your table or you have to take it home get your napkins out, because the flavor that seeps out all over the pizza after the cooking is amazing and you will need the napkin to wipe your mouth or you can just lick it off every finger it is that good. Then for breakfast the next morning it is even better heated up, how the hell is that possible, I do not know but believe me it is as amazing as the night before!

We sat up all night stuffing our faces and watching Nightmare on Elm Street 1-5, in my little apartment my dad built me in the garage for when I start college so I could be more Independent. There is no furniture right now in the apartment so we got bean bag chairs for tonight and sleeping bags. The movies are playing on the wall from the DVD projector thing that Heather McBride's parents bought her. It is pretty cool it is like we are at a drive-in theater.

We talked about what we wanted for ourselves in the future. Rose was still undecided about what she wanted to major in, she was leaning towards nursing or Case Management for children. Rose knew she wanted to try to have more than one child but everyone in our community for many years now has only been able to have one child. Heather McBride my boy crazy, hell just all around crazy friend! Heather is the actress of the group, she does not want to settle down or have children anytime soon. She plans to go out to California and kick ass in the entertainment industry. I swear she ever does I told her to get to know someone with an accent any will do and have them call me so I can just listen to them speak to me. When a man speaks with an accent it is ssoooooooo freaking sexy! We all laughed because we all had some type of fantasy with the accent thing.

Heather Patterson, she has always been our amazingly feisty friend. So for her to be going to NYU to be an attorney is great because if she ever comes back home we can work together. I'll arrest the murders, get the evidence and she can put them in jail for the rest of their lives! Heather wants a family of her own soon after college, I am the only one of our friends that know that about her because she puts on the front that she needs no one when really that is all she craves. I told her that her secret is safe with me! As for myself I really have never been interested in the boy thing until recently getting those butterfly feelings whenever I am around one. But my focus is school, I know, I know boring right, but I am drawn to it like it needs me as much as I need it, same thing with my town. I want to leave to explore the world and experience things outside of Coven Hurst, Ohio but I am compelled to stay.

But with my friends leaving I can visit them and get that experience and culture of city's and towns elsewhere. I am truly going to miss my friends but they will always be my best friends for the rest of my life, I honestly don't think I could cope with this change if I truly did not believe that. I will miss them wholeheartedly but I will see them again. We talked tonight about a girl trip even, so I think next summer we are going over to Europe for a few weeks to ride the Euro Train. I have heard it is amazing you buy a ticket and it takes you all over Europe you can get off and stay where ever you want to, then get back on and go to the next place. I truly love these girls I will always be there for them and them for me I believe that when we all come back together we will be a force to be reckoned with!

Well talk to you all tomorrow!

Having a Bad Day

Hey everyone! I am not having such a good day today, I am so bummed that my friends are leaving and my interview at the college was bad. I could not focus, all I could do was think how can I do this without my friends with me. Sorry give me a minute this is making me cry just thinking about it.......

OK I am back so where was I oh yeah I wanted to tell you about the interview yesterday. Well I went to Ohio Dominican University, it is a Catholic Dominican University as the very good looking student admissions counselor said giving me the tour of the school. The history of the school is amazing did you know it use to be an all girls school and it became co-ed in the 1960's? Not that my family really has a religious affiliation it was kind of left up to me to go where ever I wanted for church. But the reason I choose this school was because I went to a majorette camp one year in High School. Yes I said majorette camp, do not laugh at me it was for a credit (But secretly I kinda of liked it too). I fell in love with the buildings and history of the school. Again another school with the brick buildings, it was a smaller campus but I liked that, sometimes I can be an air head and get lost but who can't at times.

So as the gorgeous student admissions counselor gave me this beautiful tour of the campus, that feeling of someone following me came back. But this time I had two different feels, first lets discuss the feeling that someone was falling me. But I know someone is now because I swear to you every time I turned around there was this student I think he was around six feet maybe taller, he had like toe blonde hair and his skin was tan, every time I turned around he was there. It is really starting to freak me out! The other feeling is in my stomach man it feels like a million butterflies flying around in my stomach, I am telling you it has nothing to do with being nervous because I told you before that is not like me to get nervous. Maybe it is this student counselor Joshua man he is freaking hot!

Joshua is a senior here at Ohio Dominican, he is majoring in history. The school colors are Black and Gold, which he wore proudly. But he did make sure to say to me "Thanks for not wearing the school colors!" he laughed and nodded his head to his right and over his shoulder I saw the line of potential students in the same black and gold clothing. I giggled because I knew I had made the right choice yesterday to go without school colors. I did not want to feel like an ostrich today, you know like the other day when I wanted to run and put my head in a hole for following the masses and wearing the school colors, LOL.

Joshua is around 5'9, about 195 lbs. of muscle he is a jock of course, his hair is a dark brown almost to black but his hair almost looks like it has a tent of red in it. Let me tell you about this dudes eyes they are the most Crystal blue eyes that I have ever seen. They almost do not look real, you know me I had to ask he said "Yes they are! All the men on my fathers side has the same color. Weird right!"

I told him "No way! Gorgeous, and that has to intrigue you being a history major?"

"Yeah kinda of does, I have been looking for a long time but as far as I can get family records it looks to go way back before even a census was thought of." he told me

"Yeah we have rich long history in our family too! But I am not allowed to know until the time is right, like it is some big mystery or something." he looked at me when I said that and kind of cut off from talking to me and just kept it school related which kind of pissed me off, because Rose would have been so proud if I got his number. Anyways he took me back to school the main hall to take the entrance exam and that is where I flopped by myself in a room taking this test my mind wondered back to my friends leaving me. I could not focus on the test I know I failed because the time ran out on each test with me only finishing like ten questions in each section. Mind you that is ten out of seventy-five!

Well going to meet up with my friends today, taking a break from all the school interviews for the weekend just going to relax and hanging out with them all before they leave me! You guys have a good day I will talk to you tomorrow!

Freaking Out!!

I am freaking out! Lunch was so sad yesterday, Rose is going to Florida I had time to prepare for that because it has been planned for months. But now I have to prepare myself for my two other friends to leave me also. Heather McBride is going to University of California to study Drama, which she should have no problem getting a degree in, let me tell you now world, get ready because she is amaze ballz! But Heather Patterson who has been my BFF for as long as Rose has, is going to NYU for law. Really everyone is leaving me, maybe I should go to school somewhere else also!

This college interview today is going to suck! I am so bummed out that everyone is leaving. I guess I am just going to have to deal with it right? Well I have picked out my outfit for today's interview a sky blue maxi skirt and a white t-shirt that hangs off one shoulder, with a sky blue tank under it. My mom found these beautiful sandals on sale they are white with bling going up the strap, to the buckle, I am going to be so comfy for this interview. I defiantly learned from the last interview not to wear the school colors because everyone else will be too! At lunch the girls laughed at me for being overly eager, they can be such asses sometimes.

Hair I think I am going to wear it down over my shoulder in a fishtail braid. My hair is a bluish black color it is really dark. My skin color is kinda pale but kissed by the sun a tiny bit. I wear very little make up so I think I will go with a natural look like a pink lip gloss, and a peachy blush. I have Hazel eyes but sometimes they are Blue so maybe just a black eye liner and mascara. What do you guys think let me know? I have to be there at 2:00 PM, so taking suggestions.

Well going to do my chores Oh what I have to tell you something that I forgot the first day I started this blog thing.  My dad Dale Wholeheart, my dad is the towns Sheriff. He is coming to pick me up to help him with some cold case's at the station. See I want to go to school for Psychology and Criminal Justice to become a Homicide detective. Let me tell  you that one time my parents grounded me you know what they took away......My favorite shows! Come on who cannot live with out Spencer Reid and the team from Criminal Minds, CSI, Olivia Benson from Law & Order SVU, and 48 Hours man I thought I would die!

Well got to go get ready for my dad, remember to give me suggestion on my look! I will defiantly answer you back or try to take pictures of the look you suggest!

OU Interview

Yesterday's college interview went well!  I checked out Ohio University (OU), home of the Bobcats, it was a nice campus, let me emphasize nice. Yes I did the cliche thing and wore the school colors. I had on a pair of white dress slacks and a green dress shirt, after I got to the University and saw that everyone else wore the same school colors as myself, I felt so stupid. I wanted to run and put my head in a hole somewhere!

OU, had beautiful brick builds that looked like they have been there forever, just like the buildings some of the walkways were lined with brick to. The landscaping of the walkways were lined with trees and very green grass it was so beautiful. The inside of the buildings had a modern touch to them. I loved it! 


The woman I spoke with in admissions was tall and slender, she wore a pencil skirt with a white dress shirt. She was very easy to talk to, which made me feel so relaxed through out the interview. It took a couple of hours, then a few more to due the entrance exam. I did as I have always been taught to do, I thanked her for her time and gave her a firm hand shake, she told me that I should hear something in a few days.


This may come across as crazy but every time I have had an admissions interview and during the tour, I swear to you it feels like someone is following me. I also get this creepy feeling every time I get out to the parking lot, like someone is there watching me. Whatever it is just me being overly cautious just ignore what I said. I am going to meet up with my friends for lunch today and compare notes about the different schools we have visited. It will be myself, Rose, Heather, and Heather! I can not wait to tell you about the two Heather's. That is what me and Rose call them! They are wild, and crazy but they are the best friends that anyone could ever hope for.

Rose 3rd Grade, the day our secret was born!




Me (Julia) Bottom, Rose to my left, and My friend Heather playing in the woods behind my house!

Red Rose, Red Rose

OK! Shopping is not my thing let me tell you, mom on the other hand could do it for hours! Any who where was I at yesterday...Oh yeah Rose!

Rose and I use to hang out in this old tree house that my dad fixed up back in the woods behind our house. When we were younger she use to be the most bossy girl and she had this hair flip thing down to a pat. Let me tell you now she can still whip that hair perfectly to this day. Anyways, we use to dress up as princesses and have tea parties in the tree house. Sometimes, I would play like I had secret powers and I could really make things happen, so could Rose!

This one time I got mad at her and I yelled "I am sick of you, you always have to be the queen of all the land. I am going to put a spell on you." I yelled at her.

"Really then I will put one on you too!" she yelled back.

I threw my hands up and thought of water spraying out of them and it did, it hit her in the face so hard! It sprayed from my palms, I grabbed for my mouth and ended up spraying myself too. I laughed so hard, Rose was so mad at me! Rose thought of me tripping and a root grow out of the ground and tripped me backwards, she could not stop laughing and then she threw her self down next to me.

"How did we do that Jewels?" she asked me

"I don't know but we can not tell anyone, ever!" I told her and our secret was born.

Rose had the ability to make thing of the earth move and grow. If we came up on a tree that fell over, she would close her eyes and place her hand on the stump and it would be healthy again and begin to grow. Her favorite thing was that she made roses grow all over the tree house. Her favorite of course was Red, and that is how she became known as "Red Rose".

We continued to play for a couple more years without our "Secret Princess Powers" as we called them. What can we say, we were in 4th grade!

OK time to get ready for my first College interview, wish me luck!

Talk to you all later!

The beginning!

Hello everyone I am Julia Wholeheart, a 18 year old about to graduate from Coven High School and my 19th birthday is the same day as my graduation. So I get two parties in one, YES! But I am excited to start my amazing new life as an adult. I grew up in Coven Hurst, Ohio a small town just outside of London, Ohio. I live on my families farm called Gypsy Cove. I am getting ready for a few last College interviews this week, I am nervous which is totally weird for me.  I have always been the goody, goody as my friends would say. But I promise I have been in trouble before I was totally grounded for like two days. OK, OK so not as bad as they would like but that was bad enough for me.

Let me start off by telling you about my best friend Rose. Rose (aka Red Rose) has dark features, long black hair, I would say she weighs 135 lbs and height wise she is around 5'6". Her parents are pretty strict but they have loosened up since we are about to Graduate. She is a friend that you can truly count on but she is also the rebel that you would have to cover for also. She is going to school in Florida with her boyfriend Anthony she is unsure of what she wants to study, she will figure it out she always does. I have known Rose since third grade we have been friends the longest. Rose is always trying to get me to break the rules but I just can't.

Well got to go mom is home and she is taking me shopping for some outfits for my interviews. Write you later!
