My Saturday Night

My Saturday consisted of Cafe Rio and Pirates 4, along with some pretty great friends of mine.
Where William and Kacie hold hands very awkwardly, because they are hubbens and honey bunches of oats.
Where Kacie doesn't even make a dent in her salad, because apparently her stomach is 'too small'. Psshtt.
Where William and Travis give me 15 more minutes to finish mine, thinking I can't do it. HA.
Where when Kacie and I go to the bathroom I'm waiting for her (because she is a slow pee-er), a weird mexican lady thinks I'm looking at her and smiles. haha.
Where William learns that I really am right!
Where during the movie I scare Kacie and make her scream because I know where the jumpy parts are.
Where Pirates is hilarious and pretty much my favorite movie now.
Where Travis knows a man with a goat so I can go like this *finger wiggling*

And where we take awkward pictures in the lobby.

As you can see here.

and the best one.

i love my friends:)

For all of you girls, whose lives aren't even close to being perfect.

Welcome to my blog. Where we can pretend that life is a perfect fairytale. Where we can wear pretty dresses, have curly hair, and always be wearing red lipstick. Where high heels don't hurt, where food is endless, and the only boy's that exist are the ones on the white horse and in the shiny armor.
HA!
Don't I wish.
My life is definitely not perfect. In any shape, way, or form. Therefore, inspiring this blog (obviously). And now that the school year is over, I can now say I have experienced high school. All the ups and down of it.

UPS??

• All my new friends! Meeting so many new people this year..wow. I love each and everyone of you. Now I can't name them all, but know that I surely appreciate you:) Thanks letting me get to know you:)
• Seminary! High school seminary that is. This year I had Brother Ellison and Brother Vest. Incredible men. Seminary teachers are definitely meant to be seminary teachers. In Brother Vest's class, there were so many amazing kids that I looked up to so much, it made the class what it was, and made me who I am today. And they probably didn't even realize that I was always watching them, (in a non-creepy kind of way haha). But here's to you guys! Who impacted my life: Andrew Sheridan (class prez),  Debbie Deuwolf (class prez also), Carson Wilde, Nate Church, Kylie Major, and Kevin Hartley. Thanks guys, for being who you are, so I am who I am today.
• I know you knew this one was coming...da da da daaa! The two D's. Driving and dating. How wonderful! The freedom! Being able to go get a hot and spicy mcchicken and refill, because you can. And free food from dates isn't so bad either;)
• The overall fun! Just hanging out with friends, laughing, joking around, creating new memories erryday. I love it:)

DOWN's...

• The making of new friends is wonderful, but the losing of friends is so hard. Or even not necessarily losing them, just not talking to them as much, or anymore. It's hard...
• Feeling very..insignificant. If I even spelled that right. In a big school it's easy to feel small. And forgotten. And alone. I've had my fair share of those feelings this year.
• Losing my seniors. I've made a ton of senior friends this year. And now that school is over, they have to go and live reality now. Ah..scary thought. Glad I'm not there yet. But there are a handfull of seniors that meant a lot to me. Haley Stewart: Thanks for being one of my best friends. The one I can go to when my friends are being dumb. For getting subway sandwiches, milanos, and too much dr pepper with me. For letting me vent to you while we color disney princesses. For being such good example to me. For being the older sister I've always wanted:) I love you and will miss you so much when you go off to college. Let's do Cafe soon? :) Courtney Maxfield: You are such an incredible person. I've loved getting to know you through ballroom and carpool:) You are hilarious. and beautiful.. Thanks for being you:) Kelsey Waters!: TWIIIN! (because twins have the same name??) Even before I knew you I wanted to be like you. You were always incredibly beautiful and had a great sense of humor. Then I got to know you through lacrosse. Kelsey I cannot express my gratitude and love to you:) I look up to you a whole lot. I will be very sad next year as I go through the halls and you're not there to caress my face:) Have fun at college babe. And also my brother Justin: who will probably never read this..but he's incredible. I don't tell him this but he is one of the greatest examples to me. He's always looking to learn, learn languages especially. Which I will never attempt to haha. But he's always challenging himself too. This year he took three AP classes. Calculus, psycology, and german. He's amazing even though he's mean to me sometimes;) And this September he'll be turning 19 and going on a mission. I am deeply grateful to have a worthy older brother, he's never done anything to risk his worthiness. He's an amazing person, whom I look up to so much.
• Growing up..dah..I don't want to grow up! It's scary! I mean picking college's, a career?!? It's terrifying. I'm super glad I'm not a senior right now.

High school is great, but dumb too. haha.
But hey, it's summer now. So lets party it up! :D
