Well This is Going to Be a Long Post.

Where did I leave off?  Christmas?  Woah.

So this is my catch up post.  Have fun reading this, you know, if you want.

So, Christmas was amazing!  As you know, I got the newest iPod Touch.  Which I was freaking ecstatic for!  I didn't think I was getting it, because I had to pay half!  I didn't have the money!  But my grandma decided to buy my American Girl doll, so, it all worked out!  We also got to Skype my bro, whose on a mission for my church in Italy!  So, that was grr. ("Grr is a new word for me, it means great.)

So, New Year's was great. It was the first time I got to hang out with some of my friends until midnight.  It was so awesome!  I had some friends come over to my house in the afternoon and we went to this local store called B&B farms.  So great.  It's mostly like a citrus store, but I pretty much only buy the candy.  We also took pictures there because it is THE BEST place for photo shoots.  Oh goodness.  So much fun.  You can see the pictures I took here.  Then afterward, we came back made some music videos with this great app called VideoStar, (Check it out).  We went to Sonic and watched My Girl and by the time it was midnight we were down to three people-Stephanie, Katelyn, and me. We did sparklers, blowers, and those little popper things.  It was way grr.

And then it was 2013, and life was about to get great.  I was determined to make my mess of a life into a great one.  (That was a bit exaggerative, but I really did/do need to organize my life.) So, far it's so good.  All the things on my list of organizing are getting checked off.  I'm loving life lately.

On January 4th, I went to Forest Lakes!  That's inbetween Payson and Heber if you didn't know.  Haha.  My aunt and uncle's cabin is there.  Man, I love that place.  It was so pretty and there was snow everywhere!  I took a million pictures  that you can see here. 

Insta Pics!

Yep, then just recently I had a photoshoot with my good friend, Hannah!  It was so fun.  i took like 80 pictures, and that's after deleting like 100... You can see those here, here, and here.

And those are basically the major things you have been missing out on in my life.  I think, if I think of something else, I will post.  I've just been a bit too obsessed with my iPod.  :)

New Signature? I think yes.

And So//Music Monday

So, I might have gotten the Justin Bieber Believe CD today.
And so I might be an up and coming Belieber.
And so I might be obsessed with this whole album.
And so I might think the Biebs is freaking sexy and such a lady's man.
And so I might have a million names for him.  The Biebster, The Biebs, J.Biebs, J. Beiber,...
And so I might think he needs to pull his pants 3 feet up every time I see him.
Just saying.

But yeah!  I got his new/came out in June 2012 album today at Target because I've heard pretty much every song on Pandora and have fallen in love with his voice.  I'm uber obsessed.

{view on Insta}

My love for the Biebster is a weird one. I went through this stage I like to call the "I hate anything famous cute boy" stage.  It came off and on until about May of last year. (When I fell for the 1D boys.)  Because in 5th grade I was super reluctant to say I thought he was the most adorable human being I've ever seen in my life and I convinced myself I hated him and his music.  Lies.  I remember hearing his songs all the time on Radio Disney and being like "Ew. His voice is so high. Gross." (I will admit, I thought he was a girl when I first heard him, I thought his name was Jessica Bieber.  Awkkk.) But then one day, his song turned on in the car and I just fell for it, I didn't care anymore.  I realized I was totally lying to myself and he truly was just a babe. Then, after a couple of months I got over it.  I didn't hate him, but I was not longer fangirl-crazy.  It started up again and died quickly again at one point, after watching his movie with some friends just to make fun of him. (We came out of the movie sort of in love.)  But now, he's older, he's a man, he's hott (double-t), and has a lower voice (although he can still hit those high notes like a boss.)

Anywho, today is Music Monday, so, here's my favorite song on the album.

It gets his lower(ish) voice and his boss-high voice.  Just saying.

PS// I'm itching to do a new blog makeover.  I know, I give myself one like every 3 months.  I get sick of my own designs fast.

Sarah Reed Photography

So, I love photography.  It's one of my favorite things to do in the spare time I have.  And now that I have the iPod Touch 5g, whose camera is better than the one I already owned, I'm starting to like photography even more!

Anywho, I've had this blog for a while, but I just barely kicked it off!  With the better camera, and learning different angles, and better lighting, I started using it and uploading to the blog more.  The blog is Sarah Reed Photography.  I just recently gave it a simple makeover, and made like 3 new posts.  I hope you look around it and enjoy!


And just so there is no confusion, I changed the blog address on it like 5 million times, but the one I'm keeping is: 
sarahreedphotos.blogspot.com
Alright? Good. 
Happy Sunday! 
♥, Sarah 
P.S. Please excuse the many posts I will be posting soon to catch up. Haha!

transitions

{my room's a mess right now, after cleaning out all my of my drawers to paint the dressers, i still haven't cleaned up.}
{via my flickr}

i'm going through lots of transitions in my life.  one of the lesser being redecorating my room.  i'm trying to exercise more, eat healthier, and i'm changing myself for  the better, and not for  others, but for me..  there's lots i want to change and there's lots i want to find out about myself.  and then there's lots i've already transitioned through.  i have a lot of goals in mind, i really should right them out, but not here, not now.

music monday

ok, so tonight a new taylor swift song came out.  and i. am. obsessed.

we are never ever getting back together by taylor swift

it's way, way, way, wayyy different for taylor swift.  it's pop.  no, not pop-country.  straight. up. pop. it's cool.  i think it's way brave of her for changing her style.  i love her and she's the reason i started liking country music, so this is a bit weird for me, but she has my total support, so...  what evs!  anyways, it's super catchy, and it's already #1 on itunes.  crazy, right?!  oh well.  look it up.

♥, sarah

money?

k, so, i need to make money.  fast.  so i can buy myself one of these lovely things.

my other ipod...

{i have the gray one}

 is amazing, but the power button is broken, so it's basically useless unless i have my ihome right next to me to plug it in.  and it doesn't help that the things over warranty.  yeah.  i know.  it's tragic.  i'm freaking out.  {especially because i'm going out-of-town in a week and i most likely won't have my new one by then  :(  ...}

so, any ideas on how to make some major money fast?  enough for this: the refurbished 32gb ipod touch 5th generation for $249.  please, please, please help me out.  thanks bunches!

♥, sarah


p.s.  it's friday the 13th again!  no weird dreams about fat cats this time, though...  haha!  :D

blog makeover!

woohoo!  okay, so i've finally finished redoing my blog!  what do you think?  do you like it?  i'm so happy, because i've been wanting to do my blog in this new fashion of the blog world for a while!  and, to add to the happiness, i finally figured out how to make a button with a grab box.  turns out the tutorial that i've always needed was from wikihow.  huh.  

oh! and because i loved doing it so much, i've decided that if anyone wants a blog makeover they can have one, as long as you post about me giving you a makeover when i'm done! {tryin' to gain followers here... :D }  the makeover will include: a header, favicon, "header from blog body divider", about me, a button, and basic blog makeover-ness {coloring, background, text-adjusting...}.  welp, hope you like my "new" blog!

♥, sarah

the hair goal

so, this summer i have decided to try {notice the emphasis}to do a different hairstyle every day, as much as possible without heat {straightener, curling iron, etc...}.  the reasons as to why:

1. i am trying to grow out my hair {no heat}

2. i am not a big person for doing different hairstyles.  i have literally straightened my hair pretty much every day for the past year.  i want some variety.

&...

3. to learn super sassy cute hairstyles for 8th grade!

yeah, it's crazy, so tonight {or sometime soon} my mother is giving me a trim {to get rid of my horrible split ends!} and let the growing of hair begin!  

today i did a classic ponytail with a flower on the rubber band.  {sorry i don't have a pic for you guys!}

♥, sarah

1D

so, surely, many of you had heard of the band, one direction, otherwise known as, "1D..."  welp, i freakin' love 'em.  here is a pic, with names, ages, birthdates, and all:

the first time i heard of them, was on the today show and i thought, "ew.  a boy band... and they sound like the backstreet boys."  {not that i have anything against the backstreet boys, it's just... i don't really like boy bands... usually...}  the song i heard them sing was "one thing," {which by the way i love the music video for...}  it sounds like "i want it that way." {by the backstreet boys...  see where i made that match?}  

but then my sister and i were in the car and "what makes you beautiful" {i like this music video too...} turned on...  and let's just say... by the end of the song i was singing along...  but i still didn't like them enough to say i was "dedicated" {see here} to them.  but then i looked them up and i fell farther and farther and, like i said... i freakin' love 'em now.  aren't they cute? 

my favorite is liam...  who's yours?
