July 3rd - I got to see the most beautiful fireworks I have ever seen.
July 4th - all the verizon towers shut down out here. It was ridiculous. I went to a game night at my friend Curt's house.
July 5th - (12am) We watch a freakin' jacked up movie called The Triangle, I do not recommend it. Then we decided to drive the back road up to Globe at 1am. It took 2 1/2 hours. Seriously. It was a scary, long drive. We stopped and ate at Jerry's and then explored a little before we went home. I made a new friend that day. His name is Jeremy and he's pretty awesome. :] Later that night we went and said goodbye to our friend Greg before he left on his mission.
I really can't remember what I did on specific dates after this sooo...yeah.
Sometime after the 5th Curt called me and asked if I wanted to go see a movie. Of course he conviently left out that we were going to watch this movie in the middle of the desert and it was going to be a scary movie. Awesome. (p.s. if you don't know me well that "Awesome" was sarcasm. I love scary movies but I am a baby and can't handle them). Luckily it started raining and we had to go over to Heidi's house and watch it because I was scared that we were either going to get killed by a crazy murderer that lives in the mountains or the dementors were going to come out of the sky and suck all the happiness out of us. Either way, something not fun was going to happen.
Even though I was forced to watch The fourth kind that night (which I, again, do not recommend) it was a great night and I made some amazing friends.

and Heidi. I don't have any pictures of Heidi yet but I'll get some soon.
The morning of Friday July 15th I got a text from my friend Mary (the adorable pregnant girl in this post.) saying that she was going into labor so of course I hurried down to the hospital to be with her.
I got there a little before 8am and the baby wasn't born until 4am the next morning. Needless to say Mary had a looong two days.
A bunch of us spent the night at the hospital so we could be there for Mary. It was pretty awesome. It's not every day that you get to have a sleepover in a hospital.
It totally felt like we lived there. We had books, food, extra clothes, face wash, toothbrushes, pjs. It was good times.
The night was filled with laughing.
Praying.
Storytelling. and more laughing.
After all the lame people fell asleep, Melissa (who is pretty much one of the coolest girls in the world. Just sayin') and I decided to talk about everything the scares us. Which was stupid because literally EVERYTHING scares us and then we were sitting there, terrified, and everyone was asleep. It was good times. Except not.
To make matters worse, I don't know how many of you have seen When a stranger calls but the halls in the hospital are exactly like the ones in that house. The walls were windows and there were gardens outside. It definitely didn't help that it was insanely dark outside and we had to walk down the halls to go see the baby. I'm not gonna lie, we almost died.
We finally got to go see little Jonah Carter (or Vinnie Chase as I like to call him) a little after 5am and let me just tell you, he's pretty much the most beautiful baby in the world. Seriously. He's amazing.
Here's some pictures of him a few days after he was born:
After we got to see the baby we went home so Mary could rest and I passed.out. I had posted a status on my facebook to let everyone know that I hadn't gotten any sleep and asked them not to call or text me unless it was an emergency. I woke up at 9am to 17 missed called and a ridiculous amount of texts telling me that one of my old friends from high school, Brenton, had passed away. 2 days after his 20th birthday.
Brenton is next to Mary in the top right corner.
Our old choir director Mr. Jeff got a choir together and we sang For Good at his funeral. I didn't even make it through the first line before I was bawling. I'm a baby. Lucky I had Ali standing next to me, holding my hand and crying with me.
The morning of the funeral I was too upset and tired to do anything so my sweet friend, Curt, braided my hair and cut my bangs for me. My friends are seriously the best friends in the whole world.
The night that I found out Brenton passed away I went to a party with some friends, it was a much needed escape from reality. I got to reconnect with one of my old best friends Shea (the girl I'm hugging in this post.) I'd missed her so much and glad she's back in my life.
The next morning Curt woke up and made us pancakes. Told you I have the greatest friends in the world. :]
A couple of days later I went and spent a week with Shea. Since she's going into the army in two weeks (Ahhh) I'm trying to spend as much time as possible with her. We spent the whole time catching up, laying in the pool, singing Wicked songs, and listening to The Biebs. It was wonderful. Except for the intense sunburn I got. That wasn't so fun. It might have turned purple and blistered. The moral of the story is, wear sunblock kids. LOTS of sunblock. Srsly.
Friday night of that week we had a bbq and said goodbye to a good friend, Karsten. He just left to Mexico city on his mission.
A few days later Chris took me for a ride on his motorcycle. If we're friends you know that I hated motorcycles but I've made it my goal this year to be brave and try new things so I did it. and guess what? I freakin' love motorcycles. Seriously. I want to marry one. Or maybe get married ON one. Hmmm? Anyways, I'm still a little scared of them because of how dangerous they are but the feeling of being on one is amazing and I want to do it all day erryday. Just sayin'.
This is probably the world's longest post so I'm just gonna wrap it up.
That Saturday I went to my first club, Afterlife. The first room we went in was a little too crowded for me but I loved the second one and can't wait to go again.
August 6th - I went to my friend Amy's birthday party. We had dinner at the Cheesecake factory, it was my first time there. The food is good, but a little too expensive for my taste. I got to dress up though which I loved. :] I met a ton of cool people that night and we're going to the river this Sunday. I'm pretty stoked!
August 7th- We went to help Curt move to his new apartment with Allison. It's perfect and I'm so happy for him. That night we went to a birthday party for our friends Ali and Dallon.
August 8th - I had spent the night with Ali so I woke up at her house. We got ready, went to Whataburger, came home, ate, and then spent the whole rest of the day sitting on her couch watching tv. I'm not even joking. We.did.nothing. and I loved it. It was nice to spend some time with just her.
I spent the rest of the week hanging out at home, chillin' with Daniel which was awesome.
Today is Ali's birthday,
Happy Birthday Ali!! :]
Oh! and the Glee auditions have been postponed so I'll let everyone know what's going on with that when I find out.
I pinky promise I'll be better at posting from now on. Thanks for putting up with this insanely long post. You're awesome. :]
