IM GONNA MISS THIS GIRL

Ok so today I went up to Melissa's Lakehouse, we had so much fun. I'm gonna miss her so much when she leaves, and goes to Western :( Today we went on a boat ride, and she drove... it really scared me, haha. Anyway then she convinced me to go on the rope swing, OMG, ya I don't even know what happened there, ha. Lets just say I have absolutely no upper-body strength, it's truly rediculous. Then her and her dad were telling me I just didn't have the right grip... ya i didn't think so, haha. I looked rediculous :) It was embarrassing. But besides that lovely part of the day, We went into the sauna because we were freezeing and we just talked, it was very relaxing. Oh ya we also played egyptian rat screw, she kicked my butt, but that's alright cuzz then I beat her 5 times at yahtzee, haha. It was really funny. Anyway overall we had just a great/interesting day. Her family was really nice, and we had fun being retarded together, as always. I love her so much, it's gonna be so hard not to see her smiley face everyday. We have had so much fun getting to know eachother this past year, and now we have to go our seperate ways, I don't know what I'm gonna do with out her :( But it's all gonna be ok cuz we're gonna be pen pals, haha. Well here's to a wonderful day, I love ya girl... and we're always gonna be friends :) Promise.

This is the river where Nikky and I shared the most fantabulous hug, haha. It's pretty so I thought I would show a picture of it :)

THE DEFINITION OF A GOOD DAY

So last night me and my best friend shared an interesting evening, to say the least. But overall I think we had a good night. So today we woke up and decided to go on a bike ride, on the Orting trail. Before we turned back around to go to lunch we decided to stop at one of my favorite places, along the river. We sat on a log for quite a while, then decided for some retarded reason to go walk across the river... yes in our clothes, ha. Don't ask :) Any way we went about half way and it was really slippery so we thought it might be a good idea to stop and go back before we both fell, and got completely soaked. Before we turned around we shared the most amazing hug... I mean who can say they have hugged their best friend in the middle of a river, haha... that was Nikky's idea :) After our 13 mile bike ride we shared a turkey sandwich, and it was really funny because a song that she had given me once (when I was going through some hard times) was on the radio which happened to be right next to our table (what a coincidence) and that was just weird, I don't even know ;) But there was def. an awkward silence and we both just started laughing... oh jeeze. The song is called, Are you who you wanna be, and it was also the song she picked to use for after a talk she gave at a retreat. But ya, let's just say... ;) You get it, anyway we also played rock band, of course it's amazing... and p.s. Nikky can't play the drums. :)

MY MOM

This is a picture of my Mom and me. I love this picture because I think this picture totally captures our relationship. She is always looking over me, and is making sure I am choosing the right choice, and when I look at this picture I can totally see that in her eyes, as well as the all love. I love you Mom, xoxo.

MY DADDY

This is a picture of my Dad and I, I'm in my sr. ball dress. I would have to say this is one of my favorite pictures of us, and whenever I look at it, it reminds me of our special relationship. 

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING

Okay so I felt I needed to talk a little about my family. Let me just tell you they mean the world to me. They have always been there for me, even at the toughest of times (...and even if they don't agree with me.) I love them with all my heart, I don't know what I would do without them. I'm coming to a point in my life where I'm getting ready to spread my wings and fly, and I know they are going to be the ones who keep me going, and pick me up when I fall. They have helped create who I am today, and have always been a great example for me. I've looked up to them all my life, and will continue to do so forever. Mom and Dad I love you so much :) xoxo.

EATONVILLE FALLS

Ok so today, I had to babysit my cousins. Idecided to go to Eatonville Falls, and have a picnic. They asked for Tony (my boyfriend, not my dad haha) to be our guide. So Me , Tony, Nikky, Jessica, my brother (Anthony), and my cousins left for the waterfalls. We went swimming, on top of the waterfall, it was freezing :) but we all had alot of fun. My cousins adored Tony, it's really cute, and they both love Nikky and Jessica too. Infact Hannah gave Nikky a ring as a present when we arrived home, and she said, i quote, " this is how much I love Nikky as a friend". How adorable is that? Anyway, overall today was a blast. It was sunny, I was with family, my best friend, and my loving boyfriend...at a crazy waterfall, it doesn't get much better than that. Even though there were a few stressful points throughout the day...these wonderful people seemed to lift my spirits right back up, that's what friends are for, right? Peace and love my friends :)

Addicted to Rock Band

Okay so tonight Tony and I played Rock Band it was pretty much amazing. Pretty sure it was the coolest game like ever invented. I played to drums and Tony played the guitar. We make a great team ;) Anyway we also played pool he won once, and I won once, but I think he was just being nice and letting me win...but that's not the point...I still won :) So, dinner went surprisingly well, we had shishkabobs (I don't know how to spell that, haha, but we had meat and vegetables on a stick) and chips and salsa, while having conversation with my parents. My parents adore Tony, and think he's awesome, which makes me very happy (since he's gonna be baptizing me, and they don't know yet...yep that's gonna be fun to tell em', ha but ya) Anyway overall tonight was a blast, I love spending time with him, he's my best friend and we can make anything fun together. 

SUMMER

OK so it's been a crazy summer! Interesting, weird, fun, busy, a little stressful, but overall amazing summer. I would have to say its been the most memorable summer of my life, for sure. I have performed my last recitals as a student, and everyone that is important to me was there, and I had the privilege of Liz staying at my house for the week of the show, she was so supportive, and lets just say she changed my life :) After the shows I got the opportunity to be a part the the Celebrity Crew staff, which is a dance competition. When I returned home, I had summer session, and then headed off to Florida for IDC nationals. We did very well, and I had a lot of fun not only at the competition, but enjoying the company of my family and friends in Disney World.  After this trip I was home for a few days, which was when the most amazing guy became a part of my life. After two incredible days together, which consisted of a small hike to a river where we sat and talked for hours, and a lovely lunch the next day. It was time for me to leave for Colorado to visit Liz and stay with her, and her family.I was there for 15 days, which was a great break for me. I had an absolutely amazing time. We did yoga, heated yoga, hot yoga (Ya I don't think I'd ever do that again, haha) watch movies, play games, we had a picnic at the Garden of the Gods, we went to church and talked to the missionaries, and over all just talked a lot. When I returned home I stayed with my best friend Nikky, because my family went on a fishing trip in Canada, where my Mom suprisingly caught a 22 Ib. fish! The next few days Tony (That's the amazing guys name :)) and I went hiking at Eatonville Falls, along with Nikky, and we swam on top of a waterfall, and relaxed in the sun, it was a blast. The next day Tony planned a trip for us to go to Ocean Shores. It was awesome, we went skim boarding, boogie boarding, had a picnic on the beach listened to music, and the waves, and just enjoyed each others company :) Now this week is choreography week, and I think our dances are going to be amazing!!! I'm really excited for this coming year. OK I'm done, wow that was a lot, it's been a pretty intense summer. DON'T FORGET TO SMILE :)
