Home, Love, Family

So this little blog is a rant about how much I LOVE the movie Anastasia! Seriously, it's one of the greatest movies ever. The songs, are awesome, the story, the humor, DEMETRI! Haha yep, it's the best. Anyways, I've been editing a lot lately and so i wanted to share some of the pictures I've done recently. Hope you guys like them :-)

Resolutions are made to be broken

First and foremost HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE! I had a pretty AWESOME New Years Eve, I hope everyone else had one too. :) Okay so the topic of this blog is New Years Resolutions. Now when you hear that term do you or do you not assume that who ever said it is just going to end up breaking that resolution eventually? You do right? Let's face it New Year Resolutions are made to be broken. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying you can't change, because you definitely can! All i'm saying is, don't make promises you can't keep. It's a new year: 2012! Start the year off right, don't just say "I'm going to lose weight!", "I'm going to be a happier person" and all the same old cliche New Year Resolutions. This year, try having a goal. My goal, is to be a better friend, love more, stop getting angry over stupid things, and most importantly, grow closer to God than I was last year. I feel like I have been dropping the ball, for lack of a better term, in my relationships with people. Some relationships, I need to let go of. Too much unnecessary drama. This year, i'm going to find out who my real friends are, and hold onto them for dear life. And to all of those who are saying "I'm not changing for anyone!" all I have to say is this: I know for a fact that you made mistakes in 2011, and if you say you aren't going to change, that means you learned nothing from your mistakes, and will only be doomed to make them again. So let's stop making "New Year Resolutions", and let's actually try to start changing. Because if you aren't moving forward, you'll never get anything accomplished in life.

Will the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?

Guess who's back? Back again? Shady's back. Tell a friend! I'm back guys! I've been semi-sorta-kinda-fully neglecting my poor blog, but I promise to get better when the new year starts. Ah! NEW YEAR?!? Where has my year gone??? I can't believe this year is over. Hmm...what are some of the highlights of this year? Well I drove my first car this year, turned 16, stayed out past 12am, went to my first Prom <3, drove around with my girls til almost 1am looking for a redbox, hung out with a million people at McDonald's eating french fries and ice cream at 12am, ice skated--aka crawled along the wall--for the first time, hung out downtown until it got dark, stood in line for hours to see Abduction, stood in line even longer to see Breaking Dawn, bawled my eyes out over Taylor Lautner, interviewed Hot Chelle Rae, Diggy Simmons, and the Twilight cast, went to my first rock concert, met All Star Weekend, Cody Simpson, and Greyson Chance, fell in love with photography, got my first summer job, met Christina Perri who became my new female role model, became even more Bieber obsessed, fell in love with a lovely singer known as Andrew Allen, talked on the phone with Demi Lovato, lost best friends, made new ones, and finally had the courage to sing on stage on front of a crowd. Yep...its been one fulfilling year. Soon i'll be in 12th grade and then going off to college....college....wow. I'm so curious to see what God is going to do with my life in 2012. I know it's going to be great.

Well here's a few pictures from this past year.

That's all for now, see ya next year folks.

Peace, Love, and Werewolves <3

10 Days 'Til Christmas!

Ohhhhhh yeahhhh!!!!! 10 days until Christmas!!!!! I'm super excited, not so much for gifts but just for the time to relax and enjoy the holiday spirit yanno? Anyways...I wasn't originally going to blog today but a few things happened that i thought were "blog-able". First of all i sang for the very first time on stage this past Sunday and it was AWESOME it felt really good. Secondly, I've been doing MUCH better in school my Trig and AP World grades have gone up tremendously which means more time for my blog! (yay!) Also today a boy on the train randomly came up to me and gave me a candy cane...it was so sweet...no seriously that candy cane was delicious hahaha. The other really exciting thing is that I've done enough photo shoots to officially start my portfolio which is super exciting! Well that's pretty much all that happened since my last post but it's all so exciting to me ^_^!

And here's your dose of photos:
This just randomly showed up under our school's Christmas tree i don't really know what it is haha

 This is my adorably dog making yet another appearance on this blog haha

 *eeeeeeeeeep* excitement!

That's all folks! Until next time =)

Hot Chelle Rae + We like to party, like to party party!

So before I write about my AWESOME day I want to take a second to talk about the new Hot Chelle Rae album "Whatever". I have had my ups and downs with HCR but I have to say that from the second I turned on their album I was hooked. My favorite song (or one of them at least) is "Why Don't You Love Me?" even though they are sort of a pop/rock band this song was soft and beautiful and AAH! I loved it haha. If you haven't had a chance to check it out you should! It's an amazing CD you'll want to dance the entire time I promise.

And NOW time for the main event: let's talk about the party today :). I had fun... IT WAS THE BEST DAY EVER!!! Hahaha, no seriously though, after this week which was pretty tough, I needed the refreshing time i had today. After the holiday party Omar, Yazmin, Julianne and I went out downtown to Millinium Park and then to Caribou Coffee. It was great we ice skated watched people skate while we stared on, then had a photoshoot took crazy pictures in 30 degree weather. I honestly didn't want to go home I love those guys.

Oh here's some pictures from today:

Oh did I say some? I meant a whole bunch :D
Well that took a lot longer than I  thought to upload so i'll just continue this blog tomorrow....or another day soon :)

Is it winter yet?!

There are now 20 days until Christmas but it's not coming soon enough! Today was probably the longest Monday ever! Although I am super proud of myself for waking up at 5:30 this morning, I think i'm getting the hang of this whole "waking up on time" thing...it feels good.
Also, I've decided that because my lunch is probably the most hilarious part of my school days i'm going to start posting the hilarious random things my friends say. So the quote of the day today is:
          - "hopefully i don't stick my hand in there and poke my fingers off"
haha I don't even know how that makes sense. Oh guess what! We're having our first teen led service at church on Sunday! I'm nervous as heck but i know it's going to be awesome. And on Saturday we have our annual Christmas party at work, and this year we all have to wear ugly sweaters...and mines is UGLY haha i'll be sure to take pictures in it. BUT in the meantime, I did a mini photoshoot and photographed myself today :)

Cool eh? I like it. I'll probably try to do more soon. Anyways, that's all for today. So..yeah :D

Sleep Deprivation = Acing Tests

So for the past two nights i have not gone to bed earlier than 1:30 am -_- it sucked. BUT after all the studying i got a perfect score on my Trigonometry quiz FINALLY! That only took 3 months ahah. But yeah...sleep deprivation is NOT fun let me tell you. In other news, our school play is this weekend so i'm definitely going to see that and post pictures and it shall be awesome! Also i'm starting a new collection of taking pictures of random things  just to show the beauty in simple things so here's some: 

 This one is actually of the purity rings my dad gave me a few years ago they say "True, Love, Waits"

And yeah...this is just the tiara from my 13th birthday :)

Oh and here's a funny one, the other day I was looking for my dog, Peanut, for like an half hour, I come upstairs and i find him under my desk and he made a bed out of my boots...crazy dog.

 At first he was like "Oh hey! you found me"

Then he was like "Okay i'm going to go back to sleep now"
And last but not least---HAPPY DECEMBER 1ST EVERYONE! :)

Hahahaha!
