PROM 2010!
Seriously the FUNNEST night ever! I love Alec, he is such a sweetheart!

Goal:

Stay mad, stay mad, stay mad, move on!

"I'm going to stop lookin back and start movin on. Learn how to face my fears. Love with all my heart and make my mark because i want to leave something here"

So in the past two weeks TWO of my BEST guy friends got their mission calls!


Russell Grant Raleigh to serve the beautiful RALEIGH NORTH, CAROLINA MISSION

Russell leaves on May 26th! Week before Graduation :'( I'm going to miss him so much! He's been my friend since I was like 4! Idk what I'm gonna do without him!


My other friend Paul Fisher got his call to Durban, South Africa!

Paul leaves the July 7th!

I'm so proud of these future missionaries for choosing to serve the Lord for two whole years of their life. This is all so bitter sweet! I'm so excited for my best friends, but I don't know how I'm going to survive without them :(

STARTING FRESH!

Everything Happens for a Reason!
...Right?

I'm trying to make this my Motto, buuuut sometimes it's a little difficult. It's sucks when things don't go the way you want them to, but I've decided i need to toughen up and accept it! I love my life and the people in it and there's no reason to be unhappy. I have the best family a girl could ask for and I wouldn't change my friends for the world. I'm healthy, everyone I care about is healthy, and Channing Tatum is still single! What else could a girl ask for!?? Nothing, I know! haha Everyday is an ADVENTURE and I'm so excited for all of them! I'm done with regrets and holding back, life is too short to not live everyday to it's fullest! I'm so thankful for everyday I am given and the people i get to share it with! People have come in and out of my life, each leaving a little mark and each making me into the person I am today. I love them for that.

So here's a little personal promise to myself for no more regrets, no more of caring about people in my past; there's a reason they didn't make it to my future, no more holding back and caring about what others think, no more holding stuuupid grudges against people and last but definetly most important NO MORE BEING UNHAPPY!

Can I pleeeease just say how much I LOVED this movie! It was sooo adorable! It totally made me boy-hungry! Haha all of my friends and I were talking about how much we just want a relationship like this,(minus the whole part about him going off to war for YEARS, of course!) But we just wanna be swept off our feet in a whirlwind relationship like this! So listen boys, take note. You need to start walking chick flicks.. they're very educational for you. Let guys like Edward/Jacob, John and Noah(Notebook) be your guy's role models. :) That's all.

Life's been suuuuper crazy lately, and I'm loving every minute of it! Time is freakin flying though. Two days ago was the 3 month mark before graduation! CRAZY! I'm seriously starting to freak out! There's soooo much to do! I'm really working hard to save as much money as I can, for my edumacation in all. And father is convincing me to get the 2nd job. Woooo, bringing home the bacon!

HELLO WORLD.
Russell Raleigh,
my BEST friend turned in his mission papers this last suuunday! Waaahhhhh! I just don't know how to feel about this yet. I am SO proud of him and so happy he made the decision to go, but i'm gonna miss him SO much! I've had him be there for me for like the last 14 years, it's gonna be so weird not seeing him for 2 whole years.. Totally bittersweet.
