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! :)

another silly selfie...hehe

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

Last Day of Summer!!!

School starts tomorrow! I'm so excited, but also nervous:) I know that I will love it though! I also can't believe that I'm starting HIGHSCHOOL!

Please pray for me tomorrow!

My Dream Job

This is by far the hardest question on the "list" for me to answer..... I have no clue what I want to do when I grow up! if you look at my "About Me" section on the side of this page, you can see that I have quite a list of things that I want to do! At this point, I'm just not sure....my dream job changes daily! I'm really open to whatever God wants me to do!

When I was little, I had it narrowed down to 2 choices... I was either going to be an astronaut, or work at my favorite store, Target! Since then, I have pretty much eliminated those two ideas... but like I said before, I'm open to God's will for me!

SUMMER!!!!!!!!!

Summer is FINALLY here!!!! I'm so excited! Yay!!!! 

At my co-op, they threw a "sending off" party for all the with graders!!! Can you believe that I'm going into high school?!?! I sure can't!!!!

My friends Gemma and Sally:) Goodbye junior high! Hello high school!

Thanks for such a fun party! Ya'll are the best!!!!! Have a great summer vacation! I'm gonna miss all of you!

10 Things I'd Tell My 16 Year-old Self

Here's ten things I'd tell my 16 year old self:

1. Just be yourself! People like the real you, not some fake.
2. Go easy on the driving! Be safe!
3. In the famous words of a friend of my Confirmation Sponsor, "Dating is for losers and adults!" (just make sure you don't date because you have to, but because you love someone)
4. Don't give in to peer pressure! 
5. Make sure that when you make new friends, they're "real."
6. Make sure to eat breakfast, because it is the most important meal of the day! .........haha! No just kidding! But seriously.....
7. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU AREN'T!
8. Don't try to grow up too fast.....you get to be an adult for the REST OF YOUR LIFE! you don't get to be a kid for much longer.......
9. Be a role model for others.....especially your siblings.
10. You are awesome! I love you......I mean me! lol ☺

(btw: I got this idea from "The List" post! Its #4, just in case you wanna go back and see it!)

I'm 14!

I'm 14 today! YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!! hehe! 

Oh yes it is!

So far, its been an AWESOME birthday! My amazing parents (I love you mommy and daddy☺!!!) got me my first cellular device (aka a cell phone!)!!!!! I'm sooooooo excited!

My Little Savannah-Banana

I love you, Savannah-Banana!!  You are growing up so fast! I wish that you could stay little forever! I love looking back at these pictures, when you and I used to dress alike, and look alike, and I miss those good old days! You're beautiful, sweet, funny, loving, really awesome, and so much more!  You're the best little sister EVER!!!  You ROCK!!!!!

I'm 13!!!!!!

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND STOP STARING AT ME!!! .......ummmmm...sorry...I guess I kind of lost my temper there...haha...funny...not really........

Anyways thank you for celebrating my birthday with me! Please pretend that I never yelled...and if anyone asks why they heard yelling, tell them that you heard nothing...hear that? Nothing. So back to what I was saying...Thanks for helping me celebrate!!!
