the best thing

nice to meet you, i'm your other half.

Exhale.

i have officially finished my first semester of college. how crazy is that?

oh, and i still do not have a major, but i'm thinking about Psychology.

(which i passed with a 98!)

nothings been going on really besides school. and trying to find the motivation to start my Christmas shopping. .

We Don't Say Goodbye. Only See You Later.

Lauren is leaving me on Friday. She's moving to California. And I am sad. I love her.

Lauren and I have been besties since Mrs. Hortons english class in 7th grade. Good times. I remember her first day. We've have so many good times throughout high school.

Bowling, outings with her and Tylers families, Italian boys, Red Robin, Dane Cook, gingerbread houses, Twilight obsessions, birthday parties, On The Border, basketball games, Nemo, The Notebook, camping, purple hair, broken arms, adoptive mother, dances, LOTS of pictures, LOTS of facebook, LOTS of fun.

Without Lauren, high school would have been very very different. I would have been very very different. She's helped mold me into the person I am today. I love you Lauren. And i'll be seeing you soon :)

life

things are grrrrreat.

i'm lovin life, i'm lovin school, i'm lovin my boy.

all my classes are turning out to be a little more difficult than i anticipated. especially music business. its a little too much business and not enough music for my taste. psychology is super interesting. i'm pretty ahead in my photo class in the knowledge, but not in the assignments. what can i say, i'm a procrastinator. haha.

allen and i went to flagstaff this last weekend to visit some friends up at nau. it was so beautiful up there! i definately want to spend at least a year going to nau! i guess living in a dorm wouldnt be so bad. especially an upperclassman dorm. one with your own bathroom:)

i'm still lookin for a job. absolutely no one is hiring in qc and it is obnoxious. but i've been babysitting a lot and that is keeping me busy! i'm always up for babysitting! love it!

here are some pics from our trip:

College Week 1 - Accomplished!

...with success might I add.

-Monday/Wednesday-
photography

-awesome teacher

-already know almost everything we're going to be learning

because i took a photo class last year at EVIT

-a girl from QC is in my class and she's super nice

.

sign language

-my teacher is deaf so i HAVE to pay attention

-i'm totally going to learn a lot from him

-we're not allowed to use our voices in the class AT ALL

which is fine by me, cuz i don't like talking in there anyways!

.

-Tuesday/Thursday-

psychology

-gonna be a hard class

-i'm doin ok so far...

.

-Tuesday-

music business

-a little too much business

-a little too less music

.

-Friday-

Absolutely nothing.

.

mm..college.

.

and i get to go see my boy on thursday.

<3

...after another week of school.

what a cutie...

Ahhhhhhh!

i start college on the 24th! how freaky is that?! i'm starting to get a little nervous. or maybe i'm just sad about having to give up my new extremely lazy lifestyle... no worries! none of my classes start until after 12!

so, i'm stickin to being lazy. that is, until someone FINALLY hires me. i need a job. i've applied everywhere!! so wish me luck!

i'm excited for my actual classes though! i'm taking al electives so i'll actually be interested in all of them! :) sign language, photography, psychology, and music business!

allen david.

can you please move to QC.

..like now?

The Best Thing - Relient k

Because when I looked into your eyes, and you dared to stare right back, you should have said "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half."

we have some catching up to do..

hm, where to start...

graduation still hasnt hit me. it wasnt as big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be! i'm done with high school, on to bigger and better things. already, i'm realizing that real life is much much better than high school. i only have to see my real friends. i take classes that actually intrest me. i am responsible for myself.

~

i went on a trip to Cali with some friends a week after graduation. Kylie, Michael, Mason, and i stayed in Anaheim and went to Knottsberry Farm. it was oh so fun.

did we sleep much?

no.

did we eat right?

no.

did we act like sophisticated graduates?

no.

did we have a freakin' ton of fun?

yes.

~

i have offically enrolled in Chandler-Gilbert Community College. i'm taking Intro to Digital Photography, Intro to Sign Language, Music Business, Intro to Psychology, and an Early Childhood Education class. classes start August 22, so i get a whole extra month of summer.

~

i start summer institute tomorrow. on Thursdays, i go to "Teachings of the Living Prophets". and on Tuesday i will go to "Doctorines of the Gospel". i'm excited. i'm always eager to learn more about the gospel.

~

other than that i'm having the summer every 18 year old dreams about. doing absolutely nothing but having a great time. relaxing, tanning, swimming, going to the lake, being with family, chillin with friends, spending some time with the most amazing boy out there, and using up wayyyy too much gas. :)

walking on a cloud.

this summer is turning out to be AMAZING.

(as will this next year of my life)

feeling reflective.

if being with you makes my life complicated, then i like my life complicated.
