Day 16


I get inspired by old pictures. These are some of my great grandmother, Alice.
I also love different vintagy-photography blogs. I am inspired by nature, music, loving acts of kindness, and just all the beauty around me. Life is good.

Day 15


Before I die I want to go to Italy.

and Greece, Britian, France, Germany, Peru, Viatnam, Spain, Russia, every state in the USA, and millions of other places.

I've got big travel plans.

Valentine's


I did not have a valentine to spend the day with yesterday. But I can't get down because of it! I have a great life and lots of love. I'm getting sick of everyone feeling sorry for themselves just because they don't have a boyfriend. I know I've got time.

Alright, the truth is though that I was one of those complaining people yesterday. Plus, working in a card store that thrives on valentines wasn't a picnic. It was just the cherry on top to a rotton valentine's day. I basically spent the whole day daydreaming about my perfect guy. He never lets me down.

Ok I'm done feeling sorry for myself.

Oh, but you know what the great thing about valentine's day is?

candy hearts :)
& chocolate!

Day 14



These lovely ladies are some of my favorite people.
Maddie and Janessa. I met them at efy.

At efy, you basically meet these people, hang out for a week and they become the most meaningful people in your life. You share secrets, and stories. Hopes and dreams. I let myself be completely vulnerable and open my heart during this week. My efy friends fill it with love and make me feel more loved than I can imagine right now.
I miss them dearly.

Both of these girls are truely amazing people, and are trying as hard as I am to do the right thing. I think of them whenever I need to feel like I'm not alone. There's something about church friends that makes you feel so close.

Oh, I love them so much! I don't know what life would be like if I had never met them!

Day 13





My favorite musical group is The Beatles.
They always make me happy and never get old.
Of course I am a music freak, so it is rather difficult to choose just one favorite. I enjoy so many other genres, and artists it would be nearly impossible to type them all out!
The Beatles never fail though, and I will love them forever.

Day 12


Something I love.

I love taking pictures. I love photography.
I have a creative edge, that I'm am working on improving.
I think capturing a moment is just so beautiful, and having the chance to keep it forever is incredible. This time we live in is magical.

Day 11

Alright, so here's the thing. I don't hate anything. Hate isn't really in my vocabulary. I find good in almost anything. Can't help it.

I suppose I hate how cruel the world can be. But for the most part, it's a lovely world.

Sunday, February 13, 2011

Day 10


With these lovely ladies I'm always doing crazy things!
We have so many adventures!
I suppose I do crazy things with all my friends, but I think with these girls ecspecially. The night this picture was taken we went and played lazertag.
We've also gone to pump n' jump which is a cool place filled with moonwalks! We are also planning on going to a building in Boston with a bunch of trampolines. Most teenagers just hang out at the mall, but we're cooler than that ;)

Day 9


My mom has gotten me through the most.
Mostly through her example as a mother and a hard working woman.
She never stops!
She has a full time job, she has us kids to drive around, she volunteers at various places, she is a cub scout leader, she teaches 3 year olds at sunday school, and does SO many other things. She never sits down I swear.
She is truely the coolest mom I could ever wish for. She is very relaxed and easy to talk to.
My friends always tell me about the bad relationships they have with their mothers, but I just don't understand. I talk to my mom about everything!
She inspires me to work hard and succeed in life, and do what I love to do.

I love my mom!

Day 8










Alright. The truth is, I couldn't pick just one picture of a funny moment. My life is so funny all the time that there isn't just one!

I honestly laugh ALL THE TIME. Ask those kids I call my friends. I find so many things in life hilarious, and I consider that healthy. Why would any one want to be gloomy and depressed all the time when there is this great, big, beautiful, funny world out there? Beats me.

Day 7



My most treasured item would have to be my camera.

I mean my most treasured "item" in my life besides family, friends, church, education, and stuff like that.

I got this baby for my sweet 16 and I've been learning a lot about photography. It is something I am really interested and am considering for a career. Who knows?

All I know is I love it. And I treasure it.

Right Now


My mom just made beef stew for dinner. Yum.
She made brownies w/ peanut butter frosting for dessert.

When I am older, I am going to be just like her and make delicious Sunday night dinners. Actually, I will make delicious dinner every night.

So, I just registered for SATs. I might throw up. I'm also taking a free SAT given by my school this weekend. My life has become a jumble of tests and work.

I had a really great weekend this weekend. Unexpectedly good.

Friday night, my best friend came down to hang out with me. We went to Panera and ran into another one of my friend's and her boyfriend. They joined us and we had a lovely little time.

It is always a relief when your different friends don't clash. Everyone got along great and we laughed the night away.

On Saturday I woke up bright and early, 5:15. I went to an Academic Decathelon meet for the day. I am not exceptionally smart, but I figured Acadec would be a great addition to my college apps. It's actually proved to be a lot of fun!

We took loads and loads of tests, which left me completely exhausted. At the awards ceremony I got an honorable mention for the music test! I was beyond thrilled. Also, my team made states! Which was awesome.

Saturday night I played lazertag for the first time! It is SO MUCH FUN. I went with a bunch of lovely friends and we had the best time! It was a great night.

Today I went to church, which is always good. It really refreshes me, and gets me ready for the stressful week ahead. It was great today.

Now I'm relaxing, while my grandparents visit. I'm also planning my trip to Washington DC/Virgina over April vacation :D I can not wait for that!

I think I am going to get myself a peanut butter frosted brownie!

Later Gators!

Day 6




Something I'd like to do again?

Be a zombie. That was a lot of fun.

Day 5- My favorite memory


I have a lot of favortie memories. A lot of them happened with one of my best friends, Charlotte.

She is interested in a lot of the same things I am, and I love talking to her! We've been through a lot, but we are still as tight as ever. I'm going to be really sad when she goes off and becomes a famous ballerina and I'm off at college figuring out what to do with my life. But I think we will always be best friends, no matter where we are.

I love you Char! Thanks for all the memories! And the ones to come!

Day 4


A habit I wish I did not have?

Eating junk food. I eat so much! Ecspecially during the winter. I'm usually pretty good at eating healthy but when I'm stressed, or bored I eat and eat and eat. Mostly just junk.

I'm working on changing that.

Life


I have a case of the mean reds.

I'm just always jittery and nervous ALL THE TIME now.
Everything about my life right now has me scared.

Everything is changing!

I've had some big friend moments this past week, and some college planning moments, and some driving moments, and lots of moments where I have to think about the future. It gets me excited but mostly just nervous.

Monday, January 31, 2011


I can't believe I just did those note things. I'm such a loser.

I am having a strangely wonderful day. A friend trusted me with a secret, which really gave me a confidence boost! Then my report card was not as terrible as I thought. Finally, I ate ice cream, cake, and pizza for dinner. Yay for birthdays!

I don't think it was any secret to those around me that I've been feeling down in the dumps. Slowly but surely though, I'm pulling myself back up again. Sometimes I just fall hard and wallow in self pity. So lame, I know. It's up to me to get myself out of this rut. I honestly believe the season has a lot to do with it.

The winter blues are a serious thing. My english teacher explains it well. He says:

Spring is birth
Summer is growth
Fall is decay
Winter is death

Winter is death. That's what I feel like. I think I'm just lacking vitamin D or something. Bring me those warm days! Those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer! Or even just those lovely spring days. I can not wait for spring!

My absolute favorite show from 5th grade and up was gilmore girls. I could watch it over and over again and not get bored. Even now, I have all the seasons and I'll watch them! I just always felt like I could relate to Lorelai and Rory. Plus I love the small town charm.

Day 2




Racheal.
We have been best friends since the day we were born. (She's only 3 months older.) Although we are very different in many ways, she has always been the sweetest friend a girl can have. We don't always see eye to eye, but I think that's what makes our friendship great. She is extremely talented, beautiful person who deserves every happiness. I cannot wait until we are all grown up, setting our kids up for a play date so we can have a play date of our own!

She is a great listener and I know she understands me in ways that some people just can't. As a kid, I wasn't a very good friend to her (I was a brat!) But I'm recovering from that now. She is a wonderful, caring person who I just admire so much! I miss her terribly, and I am so excited to get together with her this week!

I love you Rachy! xoxo.

P.S. These pictures are extremely old. I think we need a more recent one.

"There is Sunshine in my Soul Today"

Happy


It is strange how happy I am right now.
All of a sudden I'm feeling so good about everything!

I'm reconnecting with old friends, I'm relaxing/studying a lot, I'm getting ready for crazy future things and surprisingly I'm at ease.

This happy spells don't last forever, so I'm am enjoying the moment.

It's Been One of Those Days

Today sucked.

Sometimes I just have blue days where I get really down. They pop up occasionally, and crush my spirits. And since I put on an act of being tough, no one really knows I'm feeling discouraged.

I'm kind of hard on the outside, soft on the inside, you know?

So when people snap at me, or ignore me I take it to heart. I wish I didn't because it makes me feel weak, but when I have days like this, it's hard to control what I feel.

I'm just human. I get blue, I feel self conscious, I'm just not perfect.

Sometimes I need to be heard and know I'm loved.

Gah, I just need a hug.

Monday, January 10, 2011


Don't you just hate it when your best friend gets all the guys cause she's pretty and flirty and fun?
Seems to happen a lot.

& it's not like it's her fault, it's just all the guys. Those are the ones that bother me.

Look guys I know you like her, but can you just acknowledge that curly haired girl right next to her please? I like to be told I'm pretty sometimes too.

Shocking, I know.

Did you know that I love elephants?
I think it would be cool to ride one.
