Tennessee has got to be the most gorgeous state ever. That and also North Carolina. If you're the lucky person who is living in Tennessee with the view of the Smokey Mountains... I'm going to come find you, and live there with you.
I was up in Sevierville, TN at the "Wilderness at the Smokies" Resort this weekend. I had a great time at the indoor/outdoor water park. Our room was... big. 10 beds, 2 baths, and a kitchen.. Can you say awesome? My parents were thinking about buying a room, you know like a condo, so whenever we go up there again, we would already have a place to stay. Too bad they didn't have time to talk to the real-estate agents. In those 2 days, I got so tan.. Thank you Lazy River! I probably spent majority of my time on that (besides waiting in line for the rides) There were a ton a cute life guards as well... I think 30% of the heat came from them. 


For the rest of the month, my plans consists of Senior Pictures (this Thursday), Senior drape pictures, getting my wisdom teeth removed, dyeing my hair blue, work, work, and oh.. work. I'm not complaining, I LOVE my job. I would never replace it with anything else. Although, it does get tiring and sometimes annoying, its a job that a love. I'll take it.
More blogs to come! xxx

It's been about a year and 3 months since my last blog. Since then a bunch has happened in my life.. I can't even begin to write them all down. I came to a conclusion that writing my thoughts, how I feel, and what I'm currently interested in actually makes me feel better. Even though you may be a stranger reading my posts through the computer or a friend that lives 3 streets over, I hope that you can really connect to what I'm talking about. So, with that said... I will start this with what is going on recently.

This past Tuesday, my sister and I went to the One Direction concert in Atlanta. For it to be my first concert, all I can say is WOW. As soon as they step foot out on stage, the audience went crazy singing along to Na Na Na. I had just listened to that song right before the concert, but thats only because that song was not included in the U.S. version. After it all ended, and reality caught back up with me, I really did have the BEST time of my life.. probably even one of the best nights ever. The boys (Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson) are such great people.. (no, I did not meet them).  Watching their YouTube video diaries and their "Year In the Making" video actually made me feel like I know them and are a part of their life. Their concert was so chill, no step-to-step choreography, just interaction with the fans. It even included a twitter session! Its unbelievable how far these boys have come within the past 2 years. Unfortunately, their Up All Night tour is coming to an end tonight, but I am so excited for their new album to come out in September. Hopefully, I can attend their 2013 tour next year and be front row, jamming out to their new music and maybe even VIP and a meet and greet. I have nothing but good things to say about them.. well.. maybe except for that that Harry should stick to girls a bit more around his age.. like me :)

Olly Murs was the runner up in the sixth series of X Factor in 2009. I've never heard of him until an hour before One Direction was supposed to go on. Girls were screaming for him to come on, and now, I understand why.. he's a pretty good musician (next to One Direction, of course) He reminded me of Bruno Mars for some reason, but that might have been for his impressive foot work, dance moves, and that panama like hat he was modeling. If you haven't heard of him, check out his single Heart Skips A Beat. Pretty catchy, right? It's so good, I love it! Although I'm just an ordinary person, fangirl-ing these amazing people, I want to actually meet them one day. I have this weird, gut feeling that I will, and when that day comes.. I, well I don't know what I'd do. I've been tweeting them like crazy, hoping that they'd notice me and retweet and/or follow me on Twitter. So, to all my followers on Twitter, sorry for the massive tweets everyday about One Direction. You just don't understand  :)

Hopefully more to come, xxx

Happy June!

My whole entire summer consists of working. I'm not complaining, I LOVE my job. I'm very thankful God gave me this opportunity to not just have a summer job, but to be able to spend it with kids who are willing to become closer to the Lord. My group of little 3rd grade girls are just the sweetest things ever! They made up a name for the group and we're the "Glittering Butterflies". Ain't that the cutest thing ever!? 

 This past weekend, I went down to Destin, Florida and had a great time... minus the car rides. The beach there was gorgeous. I have to say, it was better than PCB (Panama City Beach). The sand was softer and the water seemed clearer. Then, we went to PCB and looked at a condo on a beach front that was for sale (we might buy it!!). 

Yeah, schools out and its summer time but it sure doesn't feel like it. I hope that "feeling" of summer vacation hits soon. I'm ready for it.

yeah, i made that ^ 

School ended last Thursday and so far it's gotten off to a great start! The day we got out of school I went to see the midnight premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean 4 - On Stranger Tides in 3D, and it was so good! Although after watching it I don't really like mermaids anymore and I fell in love with Johnny Depp and Sam Claflin. My camp training started today and so far, so good. Only 4 more days of training left, and I'll be a certified counselor for Camp Pathway for the next 2 months! 

I'm so ready for what summer has to bring me; even if its a surprise - BRING IT. 

The birthday girl <3

This past week was really a handful. In my previous blog, I wrote that I was jealous of my other friends because they all have that friend. My friend helped me realize that I'm not jealous, I'm just afraid of being alone and to be honest, I am. Autophobia is the fear of being alone and perhaps what I have. I took the math EOCT on Tuesday. The first section of it was pretty easy, but the second part was harder. It was mainly over median-median stuff, standard deviation, and sin-cosin-tangent stuff. Overall, I felt pretty good about it and I hope I pass it. My best friend is 16 today. She had a birthday party yesterday and it was so much fun! We did this big slip-n-slide in her yard with soap and tubes (that you use for the pool/lake) and I got this big bruise at the side, right at the top of my thigh. It's the biggest bruise I've ever had. I want Justin Bieber's Never Say Never DVD.
