Happy Birthday!

I went on a birthday trip to Denver. It was fabulous. I thought it was about time I updated my blog a little bit, considering I haven't written for a few months. Anyways, birthday time huh!? It's the start to a fabulous new year. I am so excited to see what things happen. Its a milestone, a gateway to an entirely new life. It's kinda weird how fast time passes. It's like one day, your on your way to your first day of kindergarten. Then next minute your applying for scholorships! But life changes, friends change, and its definantly the memories that we will remember for a lifetime. I'm ready to rock this year!

Independant Women!

Sometimes, the hardest thing to do in life is to learn to stand on your own! I know it was a hard thing for me. But, finding the strength inside me to realize: Friends will come and go. Boys will always be stupid. If all else fails, the one person you can depend on is yourself. Family is a constant and will always be there for you to fall back on. It took alot for me to realize that life will always be changing. "Because Things Are The Way They Are, They Will Not Stay The Way They Are." Keeping this in mind I head on into the unknown! Smiling as I go and realizing, no matter what I can't make it out alive! :D

Crazy Ideas, Bursts Creative Energy!

Pretty much, there isn't much to say about these photos. They are self explanatory. Me and my mom were home one day. I decided to cheer her up. I miss that old time rock n' roll! :)

Dream Date!

Last night I went on a fabulous date! I went with Stephen Collins. Me and my mother, silently observed how close Collins is to Cullens. Anyways, we went to an Indian restaurant. That was definantly an adventure! It was absolutely delicious though. I tried lamb... Can you believe that!? I was proud of myself and it was so good! I was actually surprised. We spent alot of time talking, smiling, you know the typical teenage stuff. I couldn't believe what a sweet guy he was. He held the door open for me, and everything. It was crazy, just because most guys don't do that anymore. I kissed him goodnight of course, and just couldn't fall asleep. I had the whole "stars in my eyes" thing going on. He was constantly on my mind the entire night. I don't think I have ever been so excited or flustered after a date. He is so cute and sweet! I loved the way we could talk. We just got along so well. We had alot of the same taste in music too! Wow. All I can say is, what a night.

Sister Fun!

I never exactly knew how priceless the power of a sister is until now. Lately, through hard teenage times, me and my sister have been spending a lot of time together. Glamour shots and late night chats have brought us significant bonding time! It's great to have someone in my life that I know will always be there good or bad. She's not only my sister, but a new found best friend. I will forever be grateful for her in my life. I have been privileged to watch her grow from a silly little girl, to a beautiful young women. I hope she will understand that I will always be there for her no matter what. She is a light in my life, and I love her. :D Mom you raised us well.

A Glance Into My Teenage Life...

I thought I would add a couple movies just to show you a little glipse of my crazy teenage social life. In this particular video we decided to go to a cementary! To take glamour shots. How anyone can be... well "Glamourous" in a cementary is beyond me. But it didn't stop us from trying! I was with my friends, Katelyn, Eileen, and Aurora. Trust me there's nothing like a Girls Night Out!

Changes!

Growing up. Wow what an adventure! It's absolutely crazy. I can't believe how many changes you go through when you hit high school. Some are good, some... aren't so great. I guess all you can really do though is keep going. No matter what. Like the saying, "You can be on the right track, but you will still get run over if you just sit there." I've made, and lost alot of friends this year. As we all go through changes, we discover who we are and the type of people we want to surround ourselves with. Sometimes we fall into things, but its not about falling. It's all about standing back up again. With a great strength and sense of yourself. Realizing that just because you made a mistake, doesn't mean you can't fix and change it. I love and appreciate every single friend that I have right now. We do some crazy stuff! Like visit the cementary late at night. Or ride to boondocks in a stretch limo! That was so fun! Either way, I know the friends I have love and support me in everything I do. I love them all, and I hope that I can give them the same strength they give me. I know that whatever happens, the only way to make it through is to keep the people in your life that care and want you in their lives. I am glad that through all the hard times this year I was able to learn and to grow. I am so thankful I was able to find the person that I am. I hope I can continue that way.

Starting!

Today is the first day of 2009. New year, new chances and I can't wait. Alot has happened this year. New friends, New school, New life. School has been working me hard. But it has also been so much fun! I experienced a whole new world. Dates and dances. Wow, how exciting and completely frustrating! The first dance I went to was homecoming. I went with a guy named Bret Guercio. It was fun, but really different. We ate dinner in the park in our jeans. Then the boys took us back home, we changed into dresses and got all pretty. They came back and we took off for the dances. While my mom clicked away on the camera. Ugh, how embarrassing. Plus I couldn't get his dang flower on the tux! My mom had to do it. I wanted to die. After the dance we went to the Spanish Fork Cemetary. Wow that was interesting, and scary! The next dance I went to was girls choice. I asked a boy named Keanon Thomas. It was alot of fun! But really stressful, and alot of money. I definantly learned the value of a dollar that day. We made the dinner at our house. Everyone loved the shrimp cocktail. Then we had salads, and chinese food. I know it was an interesting mix. But it wouldn't be any fun if we didn't do things our own way. Then we headed to the dance, and just back to my house for games. Funny thing, curfew is at midnight. I wasn't paying attention since we were at my house anyway. Around 11:58pm everyone stood up, and walked out the door. No I didn't get a kiss goodnight. But it was still a really fun date!
Soon the holidays rolled around. Our family had an amazing Christmas! It was so much fun. New years eve I spent with my friends. I got to meet up with Brian Miller. Which was really fun. We had the perfect cinderella dance! I loved it. This year has been amazing, and I can't wait to see what the new year holds for me. Hopefully lots more dances and less school work. Either way, I can't wait!
