I realize that the Holocaust is a large part of our History as a people, but it is something that I wish I could forget about.

I'm going to take a photograph of the Eiffel Tower from every angle that I can find possible to reach.

One discovery at a time.

I'm addicted.

I live vicariously through Mike and Frank from American Pickers, the show on the History channel. I think that what they do is so amazing, and SO fun! If you haven't seen the show, here's the deal... Mike and Frank travel around America, finding old houses, barns, buildings, and stores that look like they might have a little piece of history in them, and they talk to the owner... and usually end up touring the property, and purchasing some of the "Old Junk" that the owner has around. They make offers on things like, motorcycles, car parts, old bikes, pictures, signs, cans... ANYTHING that could be a part of history, and they restore it, and make a profit. I think it would be so much fun to look for these kinds of things... Some of the places they go are so amazing! I would love to have a chance to do a photoshoot in almost any of the locations that they pick.

I love the show, and I think it's an amazing hobby/profession that these two men have taken upon themselves.

I could not ever imagine my life without Krista Dawn... ever.

I love the Jonas Brothers. Mostly Joe. But I love all of them. One time, in 9th grade, I was like... obsessed. I have a Jonas Brothers shirt. I still wear it.

The river. I love the river. It's my river, and I love it.

Can you hear me now? No? Good.

I will be changing from ^ This beautifully divine cell phone that I have grown to love, and appreciate all of it's simplicity and greatness... to The cell phone below:// I don't know what it has in store for me, but I'm sure going to miss my banter...

Taylor Swift needs a backbone. Her songs may be relative to all of us 'sad girls' lives, but not everything is about boys. Especially in High School. Have fun. Make friends. Grow up. Make mistakes. Have experiences. She makes half of the world boy crazy... and the other half are the boys, and she makes them Taylor Swift crazy.

Jeff.

Story One :
The other day I was in the family room with my 'rents, and my dad kept on talking about some guy named "Jeff" finally, I asked "Who the heck is Jeff?" He proceeded to tell me that he was talking about "Jeff Holland." Yes, he was talking about the apostle... finally i said "Well, did you know him really well or something? Because I call him Jeffrey R. Holland." It was funny... hah. guess you had to be there, but yes, my dad knew Jeffrey R. Holland!

Story Two:
On Friday, my parents told me that they were going to be attending Elder Holland's mother's funeral. I went with them, because, well why not? Both Elder Holland, and his brother spoke, and they are both such amazing speakers. Elder Holland's brother told a handful of hilarious stories from his mothers life, and Elder Holland himself spoke more about heaven, and that he knew his mother lived a fulfilled life. It was so amazing to have the opportunity to hear Elder Holland speak in person, even though the circumstances were not ideal. I even got two piggy bank quotes out of his talk... and here they are.

It's not the events that happen, It's how we see, and handle them. - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

This earth is not our home. The only way out is up. - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland

Piggy Bankkk Numero Tres!

Am I vain because half of my piggy banked quotes are from my own mouth?
I don't think so...
like Caity would say... "I think we're funny." Enjoy!


Do you have a chainsaw? or a Knife in here? - Me
No. I think I have a pocket knife. - Caity
Well great. We can cut the criminals pinky off. - Me

Hurry up, I'm being Dripped upon! - caity

If I lived here alone, this place would be spotless. - Mom

Living... Hardcore Living.

Life is just good. Christmas Break was so chill, and I loved every moment of it. Every. Single. Moment. Not one downer thing happened... I just loved it. I got every single thing that I wanted for Christmas, and New Years Eve was a delight! The last day of break was def. way fun too. I have discovered the new "hangout spot" not that Swig could ever be replaced for Summer night parties after football games... MENCHIE'S! It's such a dream. Seriously. So delicious! It's like Krave... but even better. The atmosphere rocks, and people just go there to chill and have fun. It's in the old Camera Country Building on the Boulevard. I'll definitely be menching often. hahaha.

School. Not ready to go back. Ever. ugh. Math is the worst... but to tell you the truth, I just don't want to have homework. I hate homework sooo much, and I promised myself in my new years resolutions that I would start doing my homework more... thoroughly. I wish that every new semester our classes were switched around... so we could have new people in our classes, and new experiences. I used to love my class schedule... but now I want a change. All of my hard classes are on my A day, and all of my easy classes are on my B day. No bueno. No bueno at all. I wish it were more evened out, but what can you do? Well.... Pretty Little Liars is about to start, so Hol-ler, I'm going to go watch it.
bye.

AAAAAAAAAAAAH!

This "New Year" just keeps getting better, and better, and better! Hol-LER!
reasons.....

• I am writing this from my BRAND NEW BEDROOM COMPUTER!
  
• I cleaned out everything behind my desk and found... (3 SD cards{ not that I can really use them for anything anymore...}, 3 Jonas Brothers CDs, a picture frame that has my favorite quote in {I've been looking for it for FOREVER!}, a camp rock backpack, a stack of vellum quotes, and last, but CERTAINLY not least..... MY QUOTEBOOK! HOL-freakin-LER. OH MY GOSH! get ready for a GIANT piggy bank post, because this quotebook is chalk full of amazing quotes from sophomore year!!)
• Everthing "Christmasy" is put away.
• We actually don't have to go back to school until TUESDAY! I thought we had to go back Monday... :))
  

My most favorite thing on the list is... my brand new computer of course. (Jonas Brothers CDs come in at a close second). It's SO much faster than the hp that I had before, and I think it's even a little bit faster than our family computer upstairs (which I have been banned from... I'm not mad.)

Anyways, so far, 2011 rocks! I'm not excited to get back to school... I don't want to have to worry about math... ugh. I hate math with the burning passion of life, but what can ya do? nothing. accept for do my homework. Which, I am going to do my homework... hardcore this semester. I'm taking myself back to the elementary school days where your mom wouldn't let you play until your homework was done. (My mom actually never did that... and I was always so glad, but I did my homework before I played anyways...)

That's all.
Bye!

When life was nothing more than living for the night...

New Years was so much fun. I went up to Leeds, and hung with Caity, and all of the kids up there, and we had such a fun time! Cait and I came back down and went to first night, and that was... interesting. Not the funnest part of my night, but whatevs. I think I'm done with going to first night. It's not ever fun... all it is is a bunch of people walking around the park freezing their butts off, and doing nothing. Even though First night, or Twilight to Midnight... whatever they're calling it now, was boooooring, I had fun! We went over to the trail to watch Fireworks, and I got some sick pictures! Anyways... it was probably one of the best New Years ever. :)) The past couple of new years we've followed around people that have done nothing fun. This year rocked, because we weren't worried about following anyone around! I loved it.

Goodbye 2010.
Hello 2011.

P.S. Weird realization...
I turn eighteen in 10 months. Holy Fetch.
I graduate High School next year. ahhhh.
I still haven't taken the ACT. uhh...


P.s.s. New Favorite song, that I can't put on my playlist... so here's the youtube video. :))

2011.

Happy New Year!
