~PROM 2014~

Last Saturday on May 3rd, 2014 - me, my sister, and one of our best friends (Katelynn) plus our dates...went to PROM!

It was so much fun! For Katelynn and I it was our Junior prom and for my sister Erin it was her Sophomore prom.

The day before we got our nails done, the morning of prom we got our hair done and then did our own makeup, and then the guys came to our house to pick us up. We took soooo many pictures, and it did get kind of tiring but we do want to remember somethings from high school. :)

The guys picked us up at about 1:45pm and then we took pictures at our house, then went to a baseball field near school, next we went to a park that was also near a pond and a bridge, and then it was off to school for grand march at 4:00pm. (Yes we took that many pictures)

At school we had some professional pictures taken before grand march, then waited for all the couples to get announced, and then our group of 6 headed to the river boat for the night :) We had dinner and danced all night long...well at least until 11:00pm. After prom and having the guys drive us back home, we didn't get to bed until 2:00am. Many memories were made and we can't wait for next year to be even better!

One Reason.

In the last month I have applied to three different places for a part time job. Some place where I will enjoy working, the people around me, and that has a flexible work schedule so I can balance it with school.

I got a call last week from a retail store about 20 minutes from my house that was interested in interviewing me for a job. I was so excited! So I called back and scheduled an interview for last Friday. The interview was with a group of about 5 other people and we all had a chance to answer some basic questions. Next, we filled out some paperwork and then were sent home about an hour later.

Today I heard back from them and got offered a job! I accepted and am so excited to start working there! Orientation is next week and then I will begin soon after that :) So thankful for this oppurtunity and that I am seen as a capable and good person for their company.

One reason to be happy today.

Just Checkin' In

Hi everyone!

Wow, I'm really good at abandoning my blog. ;) Life has been exciting, stressful, and hectic lately. School projects and papers and speeches and more projects have all been due in the last 2 weeks, and it's been very stressful. Glad that this week will be the last one, where numerous assignments are due.

I do have some exciting news though...I got into the PSEO program at my school. So next year I'll be taking college classes at a community college not too far away. My sister Erin and I both took our placement tests, and now we're just waiting for our acceptance letters. We're excited to be able to get free college credits and still see our friends from school. :)

I got asked to PROM! My friends and I all went to watch some of our other friends play a co-ed soccer game and that was really fun to watch. Then we all went out to eat afterwards and as we were leaving and walking to our cars, I noticed that there was something in my car. So, I opened the door and there was sign...I read it and realized I was actually going to prom. My good friend Karr was right next to me and as soon as I finished reading the poster, I turned to him and he asked me to go with him to prom! :) I'm so so excited, and it's only 3 weeks away!

Otherwise there isn't too much happening. Just staying busy with school, constantly looking online for my dress, running (yay the weather has been beautiful), and counting down the days until summer. :) Thanks for following along to my crazy life!

First Day of Spring!

Here's to the first day of Spring 2014!

So happy the weather is getting warmer, the snow is melting, and I'm starting to see the sunshine again. This winter has been snowy and cold enough and I'm so thankful that it's coming to an end. Plus that means only about 9 weeks of school left...yay! :)

Back into Shape

Do you ever go through a phase where you're the laziest person ever? Yes? Ok good because I didn't want to be the only one. If you said no then props to you...

So I play volleyball only for the fall season which is about August-October because playing for other teams in the spring and winter in my area is crazy expensive. When I play during the fall, it's obviously not a very long time but during that time I get to hang out with my best friends, get fit, and play a sport I love. Once the season is over everything just kind of goes downhill. (I'm going to be super sad because it's my senior year next year and my last season playing high school volleyball)

You might have recalled when I made a 'workout plan' for myself and called it the "August Challenge" last summer. That went surprisingly well for me and I did post about it and got really awesome and supportive feedback so thank you to everyone. (Since then I've taken that post down for now, but it might go back up later)

Well now I'm getting back into shape since I was pretty lazy and ate more food than I probably should have over the winter. The snow is finally melting and the snowbanks that were taller than me, I can finally see over again. :) So hopefully I can start running again very soon.

This time though...My mom is doing it with me! So I'm super excited about that and we've already completed our first week of getting back into shape. It's just going to be a 30 day workout and we hope that we'll see a difference by Easter which is April 20th this year.

I've been doing my "research" and I'm glad my mom and I are in this together. :)

Wordless Wednesday

It's the...

It's the flights to L.A. The walks in the park. The beach volleyball in summer. The tea in Paris. It's the full moon on a dark night. The long walks around the neighborhood. The deep conversations with your best friend. It's the wind in your hair while you swing. The leaves in fall. The hand-written letters. The sweet poems you read. It's the test you ace. The coffee you drink everyday. The picture you take. It's the memories you make. The TV shows you watch. The snow in winter. The food in Italy. The cards you read. It's the gifts you receive. The perfectly made bed. The sun coming through the window. The kids you love to teach. The rain in spring. It's that one time thing. The sleepless nights. The dreams you love. The clouds from an airplane. It's the trips to Spain. The songs you sing. The celebrity crush you have. The dresses you twirl in. The flowers you smell. It's the pictures you paint. The stars you look at. The candy you eat. The soft pillows you sleep on. It's the family moments. The embarassing times. The words you say. The sand on a beach. It's the highschool year book notes. The emojis in texts. The people you talk to. The homework you don't complete. The bad things. It's the positivity in life.
