after reading michelle's 2009 reflective entry, it made me want to do the same kind of thing..

• at the end of january i made my first trip to utah to help my sister pick out a wedding dress. i spent the night in my sister's dorm, saw madagascar two on a double date and went 70's roller skating.
• mid-april i got my first real job at firehouse subs. working wasn't (and still isn't) my favorite but it's taught me alot about dealing with people and problems and has made me a better worker.
• june 5th i turned 17. there wasn't much to it. we had cake a presents and i got another year older. not much changed.
• the second week of july i went to girls camp and was a YCL over the first years. it was nice having little girls say how cool you are and it was nice to be an example to them.
• that same week my sister was married in the DC temple. i got to see my family and also meet various members of the Lindsay family. we had lots of fun and i'm glad my sister chose to be an example and get married in the temple.
• the week after that, we took a family vacation to illinois and wisconsin. i got to see the midwest for the first time and i absolutely loved it. chicago is so busy and big and appleton was so quaint and pretty. everything is green and there's so much cheese. it's a really nice place and i wouldn't mind going back.
• at the end of august i started school as a senior. i didn't feel much different but it was nice to rule the school for a change.
• we went to west virginia for thanksgiving and it was awesome to be surrounded by all my family. my little cousins thought i was great and i'm going to miss them next thanksgiving.
• at the beginning of december i applied for BYU provo and idaho. i should find out soon if i got into either.
• mid-december i finished senior project and am now ready to breeze-through the rest of my high school career.
• christmas was small and fun. jennnifer and daniel came a few days afterwards and i can't think i could have celebrated the holidays in a better way.

2009 has been fun...but i'm ready for 2010; bring on the new year, baby.

song of the year: fireflies- owl city

dear,

you can only poke a balloon so many times before it explodes.
stop poking my balloon.

blehhhhh...

i'm tired of being portrayed as the bad guy. i don't feel comfortable around any of them anymore. sometimes we all just need to grow up a little bit.

song of the day: her diamonds- rob thomas

this must be it

i'm so ready for the new year. 2010 is not only the year i turn 18 but also the year i graduate high school and head off to some university. i'm lovin' senior year but it is just flyin' by and i'm ready for something new. i'm tired of the same old drama and ready to meet some new people. i'm scared but also excited. my life is soon to start a whole other chapter and i couldn't be more anxious. bring it on, baby. ...song of the day: maxwell's silver hammer- the beatles

happy holidays!

this is my favorite time of the year. the gifts, weather, music, lights, family. although christmas is over, new years is just around the bend and jennifer is on her way here. last week was great and i'm sure this coming week is sure to be an amazing one too.
song of the day: i belong to you- muse

the one i used to know

curly hair is fun! christmas is soon and i can't wait to see jennifer and daniel and michelle and cory and all my other friends who i don't get to see that often. i love this time of the year...song of the day: do you hear what i hear?- copeland

happy day

senior project is over. i had a party tonight to celebrate. we watched this video. over and over and over again.

i love december...

...it's the most wonderful time of the year (: ......song of the day: wizards in winter- trans-siberian orchestra

don't read beauty magazines they will only make you feel ugly

so many pictures...so little time...i'll post them all soon enough, i suppose..

song of the day: everybody's free to wear sunscreen- baz luhrmann

this will forever be one of my most favorite youtube videos...




song of the day: with or without you-U2

i don't belong here

i am such a creep......song of the day: lonely no more- rob thomas

delicious

whoever said "hey, let's drink this liquid that comes out of this cow's udders" is a genius. thank you unknown milk discoverer...i owe you one......song of the day: trolleywood- eisley

how you feelin'?

i'm stressed, stuffed, and slightly irritable but i have a few things that make those bad feelings go away. i don't ever want to lose any of them.


song of the day:
feels just like i'm falling for the first time- barenaked ladies

rip bizkit the fish

while on the way to the movies this evening, i happened to be driving behind a car that had this license plate...it reminded me of my beloved fish...at least he got married before he passed on..i'll never love another fish the way i loved bizkit..rip bizkit..i hope all is going well in the afterlife....in other news, "the blind side" is a nice movie that made my heart feel good. go see that movie.......song of the day: jump- van halen

egg-cellent

this is what happens when you try and fry an egg in burnt butter...also, every time i attempted, the yolk broke. there must be a secret egg frying trick that no one is telling me...well people, i can keep a secret-tell me the trick! song of the day: graduation- third eye blind
