Today...

i am remembering.

{via}

ten years ago on this day i was just barely five years old. i was on the couch watching tv. clips of a plane hitting a tall building were being shown. at that age i did not understand much, but i do remember it. i know i was thinking a plane was going to bomb my little small town. i wanted my dad home from work cause i was scared he wouldn't make it. little did i know the seriousness of this. now, being 15 years old i look back on that day thinking of how many families lost a member whether they were working in the buildings, were firemen, policemen, etc. i will think of them. please, think about what happened and give thanks to those who have risked their lives for america!

life can't get better

**can i begin by saying thanks for the followers!? 24 (in my mind) is pretty good and i can't wait to get more! **

so, what have i been up to lately?

honestly, i've been having a good time! i can actually say i like all of my classes. chemistry might be an exception but i'll make the best of it! dance is amazing, loving every practice! except for drama. it really sucks. the sad part is it isn't even the drama within the team it's drama outside of that! ugh!  friday we performed in the homecoming assembly and i think its safe to say we did really good! now we are getting ready for our concert which i'm so excited about. our theme is "astrology" so we will be dancing outside! it's going to be "totally wicked!!!" cross country is awesome! yesterday we just got back from a cross country meet at BYU! i got a personal record (PR) there and placed 42/127! it was so much fun! i can't wait for our next meet!

here is my goal for my blog: to post at least twice a week. life is crazy, but i really want to improve this blog! so, on top of the posts from me, if any of you would like to guest post on my blog we can swap and i guest post on your blog and get more followers! yay for followers! email me ok?

how's your life going?

Sophomore Year.

sophomore year has started. i'm already going crazy. life is busy between dance, cross country, school, homework and occasional sleep. a normal day for me consists of waking up at six to go to cross country or dance (depending on the day), go to school, go to cross country, go to dance, do homework, sleep, and repeat. 

high school is important for me. i love to dance and run so i have to stick with those activities but i have to maintain good grades. the college i plan on going to requires good grades and scholarships do too! 

i'm going to try to post as much as possible. hopefully the weekends will be pretty open so i can! i also has this awesome idea and i want to get your guy's opinions. every blogger wants followers, am i right or am i right? how would you blogger's like to guest post on my blog? that way you can get followers on my blog, ya? email me if you would like to guest post. it's pretty up in the air what you right about. as long as it is family friendly of course! comment if you have questions! 

thanks

HAS SCHOOL STARTED FOR YOU? WHAT'S THE BEST PART?

whoa there!

can i just slow down time right now? school starts in 3 days. bleh! i have my schedule but honestly i haven't done much shoppin'. i'm not ready for it to start... AT ALL!

so i told ya'll i had cross country camp, dance camp, and then a cross country meet. all of them were really fun! i just want to know why everything has to happen all in one week? like why? i need like two more weeks of summer so i can catch up on sleep and just take it easy. my body feels like it might fall apart and the saddest part, i won't have a break until, well i don't even know! oh my!

cross country camp was awesome! at first i wasn't sure about going. being new to the team and not having your friends come to the camp was a little bit sketchy for me. there were only like seven girls and close to twenty guys. i worry too much because camp was a blast! we ran... a lot and chilled. what the best part was is running to the river after the run. when the river is ice cold is feels AWESOME on your muscles. just sayin!

so right when i got back i had a day before i was off for dance camp. so many funny things from the camp! i'm going to have fun editing pictures and post them later for you guys, okay? we stopped at a petting zoo along the way. there was the CUTEST baby llama ever! i'm not kidding. then we made it to the house we were staying at and relaxed. woke up and danced. went to bed woke up and danced, and then went to bed to then wake up and go home. the last night was da bomb! so borgey, i've talked about her before, is a SPAZ! and we love her dearly because of that. well she made my night. 

about a half hour after making it home i had to leave for my FIRST cross country meet. it was nerve wrecking. i don't think i did my best but i still made varsity! i can't wait for the next one which is august 20th! i really hope i can get a PR that race, actually i know i can!

well thats it... 

stay tuned for pictures!

is it really here?

school is right around the corner. ya, i know CRAZY! i really don't like the idea of having homework. i already have conflicts with my schedule. UGH! BUT i do like the idea of starting dance, running more, and being at the high school! last year was tough. not gonna lie, but i already no this year is gonna be bomb!

anyways, lets get to the point of this post. i find myself rambling too much!

Grace's Garden Walk is holding a "Garden Party!" I think it would be fun to participate! to begin with we have to answer several questions so you can get to know me better! cool, eh?

let me warn ya, i am not the coolest person you will find out there. i am above average but below "cool!" haha

{one} can you tell us a little bit about yourself? 

well you guys already know the normal stuff and if you don't go here! so here is some new things you can know about me.

WARNING: they are random!

--i don't like taking baths. they are boring

--cheese is GROSS! i hate it!

--i don't like Del Taco, Taco Time, or Taco Bell. but i do like Cafe Rio's pork tacos

--i ran out of things to say so i thought about them in the shower.

--still don't know what to say so that is all!

{two} what are a few of your favorite summertime activities?

run, dance, swim, blog, read, hang out with my family and friends, chill, sleep! simple as that!

{three} tell us a few of your fondest past summer memories.

do i really have to choose??

well the one i remember most was a family trip. we went to our ranch and had a relaxing time, but the best part was a four-wheeler ride. it seriously was all day and we went up this mountain near our ranch. 

{four} what was your favorite memory of this summer?

I honestly have no idea! probably the fact that i started cross country and it has been awesome! i know my mom is going to say "i told you so!" but i will admit she did. i did not think i would like it and i would not be good. my mom kept on saying "do it! do it! do it!" so i did it and what do you know? i LOVE it!

{five} one summer you would like to travel to ________ for a week {or two :)}

ever since i read this book a couple years back i have always wanted to go to Africa. i really wish i could find the book but i do not remember the name... :( if i can remember correctly it was about two girls to sailed across to africa to help as nurses. they helped the children at aid stations. man, i wish i could remember more!

{six} a few things that bring joy to your heart during the summer.

well this list could go on and on and on and on, but i will shorten it just for you!

• the heat! i love hott weather. really, i do!
• spending time with my family. i think this is my most favorite part! i love them so much!
• swimming in the pool.
• partying it up with my friends!
• going to all the camps. 
• etc.

{seven} what is your favorite summertime treat? favorite scent?

so there is this awesome place here in town. it has really good summer treats. my very favorite? well you get sprite and rasberry and put it in a drink! my mom personally likes mango better, but i disagree! seriously figure out how you can try it! 

{eight} of the places you have traveled to, favorite summer vacation destination?

i talk about my ranch a lot but that is seriously my favorite place ever! it is so peaceful, relaxing, and a blast! 

{nine} photographer or writer of summer? 

hmmmm. this is a tough one! sadly (as you know) my camera broke. so taking pictures was limited. i would have to say writer! i may not write much but i always think about writing posts and funny things to say. ha! maybe i need a life ;)

{ten} when summer finally ends {and believe me its coming all too quickly}, what will you miss the most?

well i will for sure miss not having to do homework! but most of all being able to chill at home with the fam!

well that was fun! did you enjoy? check out the party and comment giving me the link to your post!
