the wedding!

My beautiful sister Brittany got married this past weekend. it was fabulous, beautiful, hopeful and wonderful!

Miguel and Brittany are the perfect fit for each other. She had gone through so much before meeting him, but once she met him, all the past hurt and confusion went away. she knew he was the one for her and he loved her crazy, strong personality. this is them during their first dance. i love this picture!!

I was the freakin' MOH! brittany let me pick out my outfit and i also picked out the flowers. Mine are cornflowers and spidermums, def. adding a pop of color!

Here is me, brittany and my brother dan. we were always close growing up and now we are all so much older, its crazy! i love both my brother and sister more than anything and i would do anything for them! isnt that what siblings should do??

Erin was my wedding date! she was a lot of fun...and she is my best friend!!

I have to say that this wedding gave me hope! as corny as it sounds, it is true. somewhere, out there, there is a boy that will love me, inspite of my imperfections. i am a crazy girl, i love to smile, i would give my right arm to someone i loved. i am stubborn, i get jealous, i may not always act my age, but i have a heart of gold, just waiting to be loved!! and it will be! <3

to you

"Thinking Of You"- Test your Reflex

I'd like to be, in a room just you and me

We'll talk our eyes to sleep

And when it's over and we part, you'll remain inside my heart

You see I can't forget your face, your face, your face

No.. No, oh, oh

C'mon, my love, it's you I'm thinking of

Each time, we kiss, your hand upon my fingertips and

It's not, that bad, just don't forget what we have

And time, won't mean a thing, cause I'll be thinking of you love

It's been three months and now you're running circles,

Deep inside my head

When I thought all the love inside of me was dead

So don't think twice my love, oh no, about how much you mean to me

I'll say it one more time, so loud, so clear

You are the only one, the only one that's ever really listened to me

You are the only one, the only one that's ever really mattered to me

So don't you go (Don't you go)

C'mon, my love, it's you I'm thinking of

Each time, we kiss, your hand upon my fingertips and

It's not, that bad, just don't forget what we have

And time, won't mean a thing, cause I'll be thinking of you

Come now don't worry about the things you'll do next week

For just this once we can pretend, it's you and me

And everything that falls between the lines won't mean a thing

So take my hand, we'll run away

From everything, from everything, from everything from everything

C'mon, my love, it's you I'm thinking of

Each time, we kiss, your hand upon my fingertips and

It's not, that bad, just don't forget what we have

And time, won't mean a thing, cause I'll be thinking of you love 

my roommate, Chelsea

Chelsea Shearer.

my roommate and i started living together this year. before Chelsea, I lived with a girl that really wasn't like me at all... but somehow we had made it work, most of the time. after one too many fights, she moved out. i wanted to make sure that my last year of school, i lived with someone that really was fun, like me and who i would ultimately get along with.

chelsea and i both play basketball, we have similar friends and were both from the 717.

when i asked chelsea to live with me, i'll never forget her expression on her face. she was so excited that we asked her to live with us. (megg, meg and i). when she said yes, we were all so excited and looking forward to the new year ahead!!

and now that school is almost coming to an end, i can honestly say that asking Chels to be my roommate was one of the best decisions I had made.

reasons why:
1. there is never a dull moment, a moment of awkwardness, or a moment where i feel uncomfortable around her
2. we laugh all the time.
3. we are smart asses
4. we make fun of the same people
5. she listens to me complain
6. she gives me advice when i need it most
7. she is so laid back, considerate and cool
8. we sing wedding singer songs at the top of our lungs. or little mermaid
9. we never got in a fight
10. i'd kill for her
11. we understand each other's sarcasm
12. she pushes me during workouts to be faster
13. i love her mom

chelsea and i really are fortunate to have found each other. she is an amazing person inside and out. so beautiful and giving, and most of all an irreplaceable friend to me!!

Going after what you want

i dont want to just settle just because what i want isnt there at the moment.

i dont want to take myself down a path that really isnt right for me.

i know people say that when you go down a different path, that is when you find yourself the most.

but i rather figure out exactly what i want before doing something just because it's there

why is it impossible to hold out for the perfect job, the perfect relationship, the perfect life??

is it that those things don't exist??

i like to think that they do .... otherwise, there's no point in having dreams and following after the things that you really want.

first step is to figure out what exactly it is that you want
after that, it's obtaining it, which can be done!

things to work on:
1. self confidence
2. figuring out myself before involving someone else
3. being happy
4. knowing that ultimately, you need to listen to your gut

mistakes=fate

"You need to see that life is not always perfect. We will not always get what we want. And though it hurts a lot, what should've happened, happened. Who should've left, left & whatever has thrown you off course will always bring you to where it is you need to be."




lately things have not been going my way. but this quote truly describes it all. i need to understand that life is not always going to go the way that i planned for it to go. i won't always get what i thought i wanted. i feel like in life, we have this clear vision of what we think is going to happen, or what we think is supposed to happen. . . buuut it never happens that way!


i guess that's the beauty about life. we get surprised in ways that we never thought we could. 

i hope that the things that have thrown me off course will somehow bring me back, and bring me things in life that will only make me happier and more grateful for what i have.

Carrie Bradshaw said it.....

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate."

i believe that.

KE$$$$$$$$$$HA

this year our school is bringing Ke$ha to us at the end of the year for our concert.

 
  I CAN'T WAIT!
finally we will have a concert that we can have a blast at. in the past we have had some bad bands that really didn't hold much interest to the students...but booking ke$ha has guaranteed an almost sold-out concert and record ticket sales!

I mean who doesn't love a girl that sings about JackDaniels, P-Diddy, Mick Jagger, Glitter, Man-gina's, etc....

Although Ke$she might not be the most talented vocally, she sings about things that we all can laugh about and party too. Since last year her songs have been a hit on the Lyco campus. I remember my suitemate Megg first heard Tik Tok and she played it non-stop... your love is my drug is another favorite one and then blah blah blah really gets people going too.

needless to say i am sure that she is going to shock the crowd, probably sing horribly and give us all a night to remember. it's the last concert for me at school and i know we're going to make it the best one yet!!

What you got boy, is hard to find

I think about it all the time

I'm all strung out my heart is fried

I just cant get you off my mind

<3

my favorite women

blake lively <3lady gaga <3sarah jessica parker <3

let's just face it. women rule. we truly are a unique gender. we have beauty in our fingertips. we are graced with fashion, make up, hair products and styles, and we are finally getting respect. women are not ones to be messed with. right now, women are making their ways to the top and beginning to retire their husbands. HA ... bet men never thought that would happen!

i am proud to be a woman...and i want to be one of those women who makes the world a better place! oprah move over...im comin'    :)
