I'd just like to make a list of things that have made me quite happy lately.
+ Say "hey" and make someones day
+ Make everyday the best day
+ Step back and look at how great your life is
+ Be excited for the future, love the past and the memories, but live in the present.
So basically, I started high school a bit over a month ago... which still blows my mind!
I've wanted to be in high school for as long as I can remember. It just seemed so fun, and you always hear that it makes up "the best years of your life."
Pretty much, the day before school started so many emotions were running through my head. "Oh my gosh! High school... tomorrow!" "I'M SO OLD" "Ahhhhh school, how about no" "No way! I'm so excited!" I didn't really make sense to anyone around me.
Then I was supposed to be getting ready for bed, but I sat on my bed and listened to Fifteen by Taylor Swift. Holy emotions.
This song has been one of my favorites since I had heard that album. Because, I had always wanted to be in high school, and so listening to that song and dreaming of high school when I was about 9, and then listening to it the night before my first day of freshman year... I cried. Not because I was sad, just because everything I had dreamed of as a kid... was happening, and that's crazy because it felt like it would never happen, but it did.
But anywho, the first day came and it was super scary and crazy because you don't get your schedule until the first day... and this school is HUGE. So you go early and find your classes, but it's the scariest thing until you find some friends. Then you're feeling good.
And the first week was good.
But the weekends have been great.
{making cookies for some boys.... i swear we were trying to do cookie signs with our hands, not hearts.... hahaha}
{sara's birthday tea party!}
{one direciton movie!! -i'd suggest you see it.}
{ice skating - seriously one of the most fun things i've done yet!}
{first home football game!!}
Overall, it's been amazing so far. And I can't wait to find out what adventures await me the rest of this year!!
OH. And let's not forget THIS happened.
So essentially, Kenny Holland {a super attractive singer from a city near mine} sent me and my friends a virtual kiss and then replied to my tweets and told me he loved me. I'm not joking... I shed tears. You could say we're best friends. ;)
So a few weeks after EFY, my mom, Shelbie {my cousin}, Chanel, and I took our annual trip to our grandma's house in Pima for the 24th! I look forward to this trip every year because it's so stinking fun!! We go to my grandma's cabin and we always go to the parade with fireworks after!

{roasting starbursts}

Then, during the first part of August I went to Newport again with Kallee! It was such a fun trip, I went boogie boarding for the first time and let's just say there's still sand in my swim suit.
{this pelican let people get so close to it. i went back later with some ice cream and it opened it's mouth and went for it! it was so funny, then it started doing this one foot dance thing, it was great.}
{so kallee was taking this picture of me when all of a sudden i go, "ow ow!" and slap my arm. turns out i had been stung by my first bee! i've been scared of those things my whole life, and it barely hurt. kallee and i couldn't stop laughing.}
Then on the last day of summer, our friends went and roamed around Riverview. We made some hilarious memories! Steph broke her shoe and we went to Walmart to get some cheap ones. While we were there we just rode the shopping carts everywhere and the employees didn't even care! Then later we played in the little splash pad. It was so fun!
So there's the rest of my summer! It really was the best summer, Summer 2k13.
