Snow Day :)

It snowed today :) And rained.... but it's all good, cause we don't have school today!!!! Tomorrow is our last day, and I'm so excitedddddddd :)

it's the most wonderful time of the year...almost.

Halloween isn't exactly my favorite holiday, but I love it because it signals the beginning of Fall and the holiday season, which includes my two favorite holidays:Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Right now is about the time when I start watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas songs. I'm working on my Christmas list, and names have already been drawn for Secret Santas (: This year will be especially great, since one of my favorite people ever, Uncle John's fiance Adie, is coming to NC for Christmas. And New Year's.
We also get to spend this Christmas with Caleb, who wasn't with us last year. Ashton and Chris and Keaton and Emma won't be here though. ): But this Christmas is the year mark for Keaton's mission. I am so excited to talk to him!
I'm also starting to make my list for Chistmas shopping.
Some of my favorite things about Christmas are:
1.Christmas parties on both sides of the family.
2.Secret Santas with all of my sibilings.
3.Me and Casey sitting under the tree shaking presents and guessing what they are.
4.Reading out of our Christmas Book; a big red binder with a Christmas story for every day of December. We also pick a Christmas book to read at Family Home evening together.
5.Serving others so that their Christmas is better. That is like, my top favorite. I love knowing that I helped somebody.
6.Ward Christmas Pary!
7.Giving gifts.
8. Getting a pair of PJ's and new ornaments every Christmas Eve.
9. All of the sibilings sleeping in the same room Christmas Eve. Usually. We try to, anyways. Kind of. The point is, we used to do it all the time. Keaton would always sleep in front of the door so we couldn't get out and see our presents. I remember one time though when he took us down there to see what we got. Dang it, I miss him.
10.Getting hot chocolate and going around town seeing everybody's Christmas decorations.

This is really early, but I can't wait till December to post this. Haha well, Happy Holiday Season! (:

it's about time!

My room has been a project for a long time. We'd get something cute, and it'd sit in my room until a day when we felt motivated and put up the decorations. Today was one of those days.



My mom and dad were at Pier 1 Imports or whatever it's called and my mom just started looking for something to go over my bed. My dad happened to see this, and got it for me. My dad and I have crazy dreams, and we ALWAYS share every dream we have with each other.
So I thought this sign was fitting and cute.
(Sorry only 'REAM' is showing. The lighting wasn't exactly amazing in my room.)



My mom knows me well. We both love being organized and having everything planned out ahead of time. I came home from school one day and this was awaiting me.
I pretty much love it.

full moon

Not much happened today. My day went pretty much like this:

1.Woke up.
2.Watched some T.V. before trying to convice myself to exercise and that it'd be good for me.
3.Exercised, but only ran a mile. My hair kept messing up and I was getting irritated at the fact that I had to work to lose weight.
4.Showered and had a SlimFast. I made it, so it was pretty gross.
5.Mom and I went to get a pedicure (post pics later).
6.Went to Swift Computer to see if we could transfer all of mom's pics on her old computer to her Mac. They're still working on it.
7.Ate a Fruit and Walnut snack from McDonald's while mom had an ice cream cone. I kept eyeing the her and the cone enviously until I had a bite of my snack. It was amazing. Yeah, it totally beat having an ice cream cone.
8.I came home and got ready for soccer practice.
9.Had an hour and a half soccer practice, where I was told by a fellow teammate;
"Well, you're not great..." Thanks.
10. Came home and ate chinese food while watching Ellen Degeneres and the Munsters.
11.Got a text about Marissa's party being cancelled. Grrrrrrr :P
12.Went to get ready for bed, and saw the full moon.

I reccomend you to go outside and check it out.

sock monkey

This is another post about me being depressed that Ashton and Emma left to go back to Utah. Haha it's kind of a good thing though cause whenever Ashton is here, she makes way too many good cupcakes and desserts, and it's impossible to say no. I actually said no last night to a cupcake, but I gave in and had one after they left today. It was amazing. As usual.They did make it to Utah safely, but not without Ashton leaving Emma's sock monkey here (which makes me cry whenever I look at it, I ended up giving it to my mom) and her carseat and stroller didn't make it to the airport.
On the brightside (somewhat), I ran today. It was only two miles, but I was feeling pretty good cause I was running faster than usual. Then I stopped to fix my hair, roll up my sleeve, etc... and ended up taking walking breaks which I really wasn't planning on doing. Then it started thundering and getting dark (so I was afraid of being kidnapped....one of my worst fears EVER) so I sprinted home. Mom and Casey told me that was the fastest they ever saw me run. Greatttt. It wasn't even that fast.
I ended the day with cleaning my closet some more and watching the Middle and Survivor.
Then I saw Emma's sock monkey and started to cry.

the big apple

This is what I'm really talkin' about!
That's what I'm talking about! Haha jk, we'd never wear those.

Central Park-beautiful.

We saw it in Chicago, and we're gonna see it in New York.




Macon and I have recently decided that for our sixteenth birthday, we are going to go to the Big Apple. It will actually be a little after our birthdays, since we want to go in the Winter. Chances are that we're probably not going to go to New York, but a girl can dream, right? That's what I'm doing anyway. We've already decided everthing we're gonna do. We're going to see a play on Broadway, go to Central Park, shop a LOT, and walk around in our leather boots that we have yet to buy. I actually saw them at Belks a couple of weeks ago, but mom wouldn't let me buy them. Bummer ):

But I'll get them someday...

it's about time...

... to hold this little angel in my arms. Ashton and Emma are coming in tonight!!!! I'm so excited!!! And this time, we'll be tracked out, so we won't have to go to school while they're here...

fall, here we come (:
