wowie wow

wowie wow so much has happened in the past what like, 8 weeks????
its been a series of ridiculously fun adventures, and the year is only beginning!!! I have A LOT of stuff going on, and honestly this has been some of the hardest weeks of my entire life. I am going through something kind of hard right now, but I have already learned a lot of valuable lessons. Main one is community is such an important thing!!! I would not be okay right now if it weren't for my family, teachers and sweet friends :) thank you so much!

llleeeeeetttttssss see I guess I'll attempt to summarize my life in a series of photos, so keep scrollin


we started LUG & I love it!!! The freshmen are really cute and I just wanna be friends with all of them! a BUNCH of them came and doing my first lesson was a little challenging but rewarding & fun. . . I've also spent this year discovering I'm really introverted (and that thats ok ;) )



next up was THE ONE DIRECTION CONCERT
I'm not sure I would call myself a "dedicated" fan, but it was an awesome night!!! Every single member is so cute and they put on a really good show. I loved dancing and watching them interact on stage. Our seats were so close!!! It was all we could talk about for like the next week. . . Oh, and Fireproof is a JAM


Starting this year, I started working for my Dad's art gallery -- its kind of boring but its a pretty chill job and I get money so. This is me pretending to "work" on the gallery Facebook and also pictured is this college girl named Nicole who is cute n fun and tells me what to do


Other friday nights were spent getting Maddie a flower pinata for her birthday, letting Hannah + Maddie put makeup on me (first time wearing eyeliner lol), making dinosaur chicken nuggets, working on my work crew application, and catching up on Dance Moms/Parks and Rec/New Girl/Scandal


me & sarah having a gr8 time at school!!! It really isn't that bad and I really like most of my teachers. Ms. Perez is super funny and cute (& I think she likes us), Wilen is so awkward I love it and J Rod gets so excited about science its adorable
Creative Writing is my fav class bc Ms. Chupp is literally my favorite teacher and you just get to have fun and be weird and write stories and take a break from life for a little 

This is my 100 word story -- read if you are interested or care about love (yes its exactly 100 words)

 Messages in Magnets

He used to write “my brain is under construction,” yet this time he wrote “let’s get married” in the white, square alphabet letters that clung to our mint-colored fridge. Magnets were kinda our thing, along with late-night hammocking, 1000 piece puzzles and retro diners. As my heart cartwheeled, my eyes scanned the pinned polaroids depicting the insanely-happy-yet-amusingly-awkward moments of our relationship. Something about his fiery passion and contagious joy overflowed my lonely, broken soul and I decided I liked feeling full. I used to write “I tripped up the stairs,” yet this time I wrote “let’s spend our lives together.” 

PSAT on Wednesday!!! Good thing I've been preparing all summer!!! Good thing I have an SAT tutor!!! Good thing I have taken a practice test!!! 
I have done nothing and everyone's really starting to talk about college and I really need to deal with it but I have no clue where I wanna go or what I wanna do with my life :) 
Class ranks also came out and everyone freaked out and I hated it. I started this thing where I am not telling anyone my grades bc I think comparing yourself is dumb but it takes so much self-control


fall is here!! this is me and my friends roaming in the pumpkin patch at church oops. We have spent a lot of time trying to do outdoor activities bc its SO pretty!! I love going to church and I've also started going to a thing called KURIOS at lunch where they get a speaker to come and talk to us, and it really brightens my week


picnicking take 754236573!!! picnics are always fun and we went to the basin and sat in the shade and I enjoyed a grilled cheese with tomato. Nicole was there too and we took pics and I made a GoPro video (I hadn't made one in forever and I forgot how much I like making them). Over all, 'twas a good time



this week was homecoming week!!! howdy night was fun because I only got a little bit of pie on me (softball does a pie throw to raise money) and I actually participated in all the dress up days. I discovered I like wearing pigtails (experimented during western day) and shout out to geli for getting me a mum you are sweet :)
I also actually went to a football game, which is not typical of me bc that requires socializing, and it was fun in a way
it wasn't as bad as I remember and it was cool to see the cheerios on the field!!!
After the game, I watched the band routine and then we went to Jim's ;)


Yesterday, we played on the swings and talked about Jesus on the playground, as well as getting a slush at sonic and having a dance party in Sarah's room
We also went to subzero and saw the movie,  Alexander the Terrible Horrible No Good Day which was adorable with the happy message of RADIATE POSITIVITY!!
If you are still reading you rock, and have a good week everyone!!
