sometimes we need a break.

this is the time most high schoolers have been waiting for.

christmas break.

sleeping in. hanging out. watching movies. giving gifts. vacations. and drinking hot chocolate of course!

a break from listening to teachers, drama, homework, caring about waht you look like every second of the day, and waking up early.

dont waste this time. use it wisely.

what are your plans?

living the life....what life?

i havent posted in awhile.

in fact, i havent been on the computer in awhile.

reason for my absence?
one word.

basketball.

it has literally taken over my life. and you know what? i am okay with that.

so update on me.

less than a month until...

i am 16

i get my braces off

i get a cell phone

christmas break

a new year

i get my lisence/car

and 2nd semester of my sophomore year!

so. this is christmas.

it might be a little early to post about this but i couldnt contain it.
as my family and i were setting up christmas decorations and listening to holiday music, i decided that i am so incredibly excited for christmas this year. and it has finally hit me that it is only a few weeks away. i hope most of you feel the same way. i love driving the road home at night and seeing christmas lights lit and hung, it makes me smile. they are just pretty. no denying it. snow? i am usually adverse to the idea, but no one can say that they dont want a white christmas. i love a first snow, where it is beautiful. kids sled. teens ski and snowboard. and then you come insde and enjoy some warm hot chocolate. now what can be better than that?  oh yeah, giving gifts. dont get me wrong recieving gifts is great to but, there is that special feeling that you get when you see someone open a present that has not left your mind since you got it for them. and giving gifts for charity is also amazing. and of course, our savior, was born.

 so hopefully, you will all be filled with christmas cheer, i know i am.

it must mean i am next.

my cousin got married. so cute. i cant wait until i do.

reception was gorgeous. my aunt is amazing.

pictures? perfect with my other aunt as a photographer.

the beautiful bride threw the bouquet at the end of the night.

and i caught it.

one of the most exciting nights of my life.

cousins.

saved my life.

just so you know.

because, sometimes no one else listens.

it is fun to design and re-design again and again.

blog? journal? same thing. pretty much.

i enjoy typing.

of course i want y'all to know about my problems in life.

and i read about all of yours. but find it helpful.

i have always had a vision of me passing down my URL address

and having my daughter read my entire blog.  too wierd?

what else do i have to do.

i dont know how to say somethings. so i vent here.

i love reading about other girl's lifes.

i find it entertaining.

and simply. i love it.

i would now like to ask shaylee, brit, alexis, and olivia to do the same. and tell us all why they blog.

pleezz no mo-wa!

i just spent the last half an hour tickling my sister.

yes, i did say tickle.

the toture that makes you smile.

you have got to love family.

never take it for granted.

live with them. laugh with them. love them.

eleven eleven eleven eleven eleven.

i did in fact make a wish. i hope it comes true.

free drinks at hearts. thats where i went for lunch.

best friends? couldn't live without them.

good luck. to whatever your plans are.

i am going to wish again tonight. no worrys.

need some change?

i am behind in school. i should really be homework right now. precal? someone pleease teach me how to do it. biggest procrastinator in the world. that's me.

that needs to change.

boys? what boys? of course, every girl fantasizes about a boyfriend. and for me, fantasizing is pretty much all that ever comes of it. i try to make it work, i want it to work, it almost does, but then doesn't.

hopefully that will change.

less than two months. until what? you ask.

my 16th birthday. driver's license. braces off. and dating. job=money. need i say more?

those are some big changes.

should i color my hair for the first time?

a possible change.

basketball conditioning. new and slightly not as good seminary class. driving. driving. driving.
the best friend i have had since 5th grade no longer talks to me. high school.
we are all growing up. and doing new things.

change is good.

personal best.

i want to be better at basketball.

i want to be better at soccer.

so what am i going to do?

i am going to work on my free time. i am going to become my personal best.

now, dont think that this will only last about a week. though it might. i am really going to work hard.

so then when i am older i will be the one giving motavational speeches.

i will be better.
