In 2 days I never go back to high school. and in 9 days I walk across a stage and receive a diploma. Strange how it's all slipping away. Soon I won't have the chance to spend this lovely lunch time with one of my best and longest friends. Mr. Tyler Fishback, you've been wonderful to me over the years.

Sorry Sorry Sorry Graduation

Life these days is insane and due to lack there of time and also of making the internet work on my laptop where all the information is stored And not really bothering to fight with it at all, I post here, with no picture for the time being. oh well. I graduate today and frankly I'm a wee bit terrified because I don't know if I'll even be able to be happy with all those horrid people. I'm so over high school and sort of wish we could fast forward to grad blast because none of the rest of it is sounding like any fun at all. After going to Colony's amazing graduation I'm afraid ours will suffer sorely in comparison. Oh well. It's all I've got to work with and it's mine so I've got  to suck it up and deal with it. Cheers class of 2011. can't wait to be so over you.

May 7, 2011
Day two of garage sale. I had just woken up from my impromptu nap when we took this picture haha I really don't like how I look, but Joe looks really cute so I couldn't pass it up haha I'm a sucker for a cute guy, what can I say? 
Today was splendid, we just sat in the sunshine while people took our old things and gave us money for them. It was fantastic! haha and I went for another short moped ride, dang I love those things. Joe came over and helped us a lot. So did Jen and that was a lot of fun. We all just kinda let it be. Too bad my best friends didn't feel it necessary to come see me or it or whatever. oh well. High school is almost over. and then I get to spend my summer doing whatever I'd like to, then head to Utah in the fall. and then who knows what? It's all part of the adventure I suppose

Sometimes you just have to burn books

May 6, 2011
Oh goodness these two are so silly :) We were burning AP history papers at Jolees bonfire tonight. It was wonderful haha Joe kept trying to read them and I kept taking them from him and throwing them in the fire, it was great fun! We had the first day of our two day garage sale today and had quite a blast. Me and abby went out on a moped ride, oh my gosh it was so much fun!!! :) jjust a great day.

WHAT THE HAIL!?!

May 5, 2011
Feliz Cinco De Mayo! oh and it hailed... in May.. and stuck around till the next morning too. It was so cold! and we stayed up way too late getting ready for the garage sale doing all the organizing and stuff. It was pretty fun and we got really goofy there for awhile. Jen came and joined us which was really fun! and also one week till I never have to go to high school again AND two weeks till I graduate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meeting new friends

May 4, 2011
These lovely ladies remind me why I'm still in young womens and attending every week. I went over to Nans right before school started and cried and told her how much I wanted to stop going to young womens and I was done with high school and I can't stand immature people. And she just walked me right through everything and has been with me ever since. These girls have just made it that much easier not to stop going.

just a few short days

May 3, 2011
Kelsey's baby apple and my big apple. We've got to have something to keep us entertained through the next couple weeks.

Not feeling inspired...

May 2, 2011
These girls are so entertaining! and today was an incredibly crazy day! prepping for the garage sale has been so insane, but fun :)

An old soul


April 30, 2011
This day was so crazy. We just jumped from one project to the next, it was so fantastic and quite a blast. My friend Andrew Hillen was baptized today and everybody was crying. Then we got serenaded by Tyler Seims while we were eating Wendy's. That kid is pretty crazy, but I have to admit, life would be dull without him around sometimes. I keep singing the song he sang to us. haha I finally saw the 3rd narnia movie.. I still haven't watched the 2nd. oh well. Today was just a good day. Also I decided I love saturdays most of all because I can choose to do whatever I want with my free time. yeah man!
Dear April, FIN!

And so it begins

April 29, 2011
Guess who is a genius at getting pictures of people when they don't know? this girl. Guess who is going to be smacked when her best friend realizes she was caught on camera? also this girl. 
Today, my brother Bob turned 13 years old. There is yet another teenager in our house. whoo! It was a blast! Me and mom went to the bank right after school to switch my accounts from Northrim to Wells Fargo so I have access to my money when I move out. Also I'm getting a credit card.. yikes! I really have grown up. Anyhoo after we were done there (it took forever) we went to wal-mart before we picked the birthday boy up from track practice and bought him all kinds of goodies. Glad to know my mom is a last minute shopper at times as well. Then we got bob and we actually fought over who got to sit in the front seat because he wanted me to because I was already there and I wanted him to because he's the freakin birthday boy. haha I won and he sat shotgun. We all went out to dinner at Chepos which happens to be a lovely place and I'm going to miss it when I leave. (I'm not supposed to talk about leaving... Joe doesn't like it.. sorry babe..) ANYway after we were done there we all sidled up to watch a movie and Joe came over as well. It was a lot of fun and we ended up taking a walk and staying up way too late. haha fun stuff.

And I had that song in my head all day

April 28, 2011
Happy Birthday Benjamin Fife! Today was a very average day until my spectacular boyfriend brought me two carmellos to work! Which completely made my day and I'm very thankful for him. I decided to come home after work instead of staying at the church volleyball games because I'm mostly sure I've moved on from youth church things. After the May dance, I'm out!  WHOO HOO!!! haha then I get to start on the next chapter, whatever that may be. My brother turns 13 tomorrow, holy cow!
My picture is from a song I had stuck in my head all day. I doodled that saying more times today than I ever thought I  could in my life. silly me.

From this moment on


April 27, 2011
AND sometimes I can't choose just one photograph... both of these are such sweet moments captured on camera simply for the benefit of myself. These people are my wonderful siblings and I love them so much, these boys are so sweet to me and make my life significantly better. The other picture is of one such moment where I was getting "operated" on in the bathroom (my mom was dousing my mouth with numbing stuff to put my dumb canker sore to bed for the night) they all decided they wanted to join the party. We had a truly sweet evening at the church after activity. Joe came to join the wasilla ward tonight so he was there as well. We were all just sitting around in the bishops office laughing at each other while Haley finished her personal progress update on the computer and we just killed time. Nobody was in a bad mood or stressed out, we simply did what we needed to do and spent time loving on each other. I love moments like those when things are just right and how they're supposed to be.
