Homecoming 2014: The Dance!

The homecoming dance was AMAZING!!!!! I had the BEST TIME EVER!!!

After I got my hair and makeup done...

Haha I made a goal to give up soda until homecoming! It was a long, hard three weeks, but it just made my slurpee taste ten-billion times better when I finally got to drink one today!

Silly selfie!

I truly felt like a princess... thanks mom, for giving me the amazing blessing of me getting my hair and make up done! :)

I was sooooooooo nervous! I was taking selfies to distract myself while I waited for my date, Matt, to pick me up:)

(Summer 2014)

My amazing friend Isabella and I had a total girls day today! And yesterday…but it wasn't as girly of a day, tubing and surfing:) We had the best time together! Today, we got manicures and went to the mall! We had sooooooooo much fun, shopping, visiting, and of course, laughing! Me and Izzy have been friends since kindergarden, and we have so many great memories together, and tons of inside jokes!

Manicures!

Isabella's nails!

My nails!

Afterwards, we went to the mall and had a WONDERFUL time! Unfortunately, we didn't take any pics, but we made some great memories together!!!!! One really funny and very coincidental thing that happened was that we both wore the same kind of bracelet (in different colors) with our nicknames on them…..but both of our nicknames were spelled wrong! Also, we both got them from two different people who happened to buy them and bring them back as gifts from Mexico! It just makes me laugh that we both had the same bracelet, from the same place, that we both got as gifts, with our nicknames on them, and both of them had our names spelled wrong!!!!! 

Twinzies! ;)

Yesterday, we went tubing and surfing! It was so much fun! We are soooooooooo sooooooo sore though! It was quite the workout! lol! I don't have any pics from that either, but it was still super fun! Izzy even surfed for the first time ever, and got up on her second try! We had so much fun, trying not to fly off of the tube and die, and trying to see who could stay on the longest:)

I had so much fun with you, Izzy! Cant wait to hang out again! Miss ya, girly!!!

Tubing with Claire-Bear!

Me and Claire went tubing today! It was soooooooooooooo much fun!!!!! Claire is awesome at tubing, and this is only her first time! She's so talented:)

Getting ready to get on the boat!

Thanks for such a fun day today, friend! I had soooooooooooo much fun with ya!!! Luv ya:)

Schoenstatt Camp

Last week, I went to Schoenstatt Camp in Lamar, Tx! (Never heard of Schoenstatt? Thats ok! You can check out their website here.) It was an awesome, and very unforgettable experience! I had so much fun getting to hang out with so many amazing catholic teenage girls!

I'm in a group called the "Roses Ablaze," and my group and I had the wonderful privilege of being able to make our Covenant of Love to Mary together!

Here are some pics:)

It was a 7and a 1/2-ish hour drive, so we stopped to get some treats:) ICEES!!!!!! 

The property that we were on is GORGEOUS!!! You can see the ocean from just about everywhere, and there are tons of flowers! It's sooooooo pretty!

THE SHRINE!!!!

Isn't the shrine soooooooooooo soooooooo soooooo adorable?!?! It looks like it came out of a fairytale book!!!!

The inside of the shrine is absolutely beautiful! 

Inside of me and Claire's room, we found a little carving of the shrine on the wall…..well, it wasn't a carving, it was actually a natural carving from the wood! Isn't that amazing?!?!

Me and my friends! We're the Roses Ablaze!!!!!

(top: Claire; middle left: Marcy; middle right: Veronica (Roni); bottom left: Cassidy; bottom right: Me!)

Random pic of flowers…yeah I took it! In case you haven't noticed, I LOVE photography, especially nature, and more specifically, trees and flowers! I saw the beautiful white flowers and just had to take a pic:)

Dear Jesus,

Thank-you for such a wonderful week at camp with my amazing friends! Thank you for all of the blessings that you give to me, especially for this opportunity to get to go to such an awesome camp, where I got to grow closer to You, and Your Blessed Mother, Mary! I love you:)
