Day two.

Today's post is: "A really good memory."

I have a million and five really good memories but this one is one of my favorites. It isn't a very long, or significant memory but just thinking about it brings me back to that moment and I feel that same peace all over again.




My friends and I had spent all night dancing and had gone to Denny's afterwards for really early breakfast and now we were on our way home. There were four of us in the car, me and Chris in the front and Laken and Heidi were sleeping in the back. The sun was rising, Chris had just finished singing Dusk and Summer and was still holding my hand, and for a moment it was silent and it just felt like everything was right in the world. I closed my eyes and just felt this overwhelming peace come over me. I've had a lot of friends in my lifetime but besides Daniel, they were the only people I've ever been able to experience that feeling with.


I've always loved watching the sun rise. I know everyone is crazy about the sun setting but not me. For me, the sun rising is a new beginning. It brings hope, it brings light into the darkness and that morning just reinstated the love I felt for it.

Day ONE.

I originally started a blog so it would kinda be like my journal. I wanted to be able to remember what I was like when I was 20, what did I do everyday, who were the friends I hung out with etc...

I was hoping that blogging would be easier for me than writing in a journal because I'm terrible at that. Seriously. I have like four entries from when I was a child and I'm pretty sure three of them start with

"I'm supposed to be cleaning my room right now but..."

Fail.

So since I obviously don't want my future self to remember what I did when I was younger I'm just going to blog about whatever random thoughts come into my mind since that always sounds more fun to me than blogging about my day. And honestly, I'm sure reading about the things I do everyday isn't very exciting so hopefully, this will be at least a tiny bit more interesting.

I found this thing on miss Shelby's blog and I thought it looked pretty fun and it'll help me think of things to post and (hopefully) help me post everyday for the next 30 days.


Day one is: "A recent photo of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself"



1. As you can tell by the title of my blog I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan. I listen to her every.single.day. (I'm pretty sure she follows me around and writes songs about my life. Creeper.)
2. I sleep with 5 pillows on my bed. Three of them have awesome pillow cases: one is Beauty and the Beast, one is Spiderman, and one is Dora.
3. I love playing with people's hair
4. I'm in love with skeleton keys.
5. I'm determined to be a princess at Disneyland.
6. I hate spending money and usually feel sick after I do.
7. I LOVE snail mail and wish people would send letters more often. (growing up LDS is a plus though. Lots of missionaries to write.)
8. I really want to find a random guy/girl playing guitar on the street and have them teach me how to play a song.
9. I am OBSESSED with Christmas. If you wanna know how I truly feel about it, watch the movie elf. Me and Buddy are the same person.
10. I love smiling! Smiling is my favorite. :]
11. I'm a really cuddly person. Srsly. I love cuddling.
12. I love the brownie batter more than I love the actual brownies.
13. No matter how many new video game consoles they come out with, Sega Genesis will always be number one in my heart.
14. I think it's way cooler when a movie I like comes on tv or my favorite song comes on the radio and I have to watch it/ listen to it even if I own the dvd or cd already. (Plus I kinda like it when movies have commercials, I need the break because I have trouble sitting still for long amounts of time.)
15. Every time I find my hiding spot when I'm playing hide and seek, I suddenly have to pee. Every.stinkin.time.

It's our town, everybody scream

in this town of Halloween!

As promised, I'm here to post pictures of my Halloween costume.

This year I decided to be...








Snow White! :]

October was a busy month for me and I loved every minute of it!

There were lots of sleepovers:

(including the traditional "we just woke up and decided to take hideous pictures of ourselves" pictures)


Goofing off:



Picture taking:


Car rides:

(sometimes ones with no drivers)

including a super long car ride to the Pima county fair.

Yes, we left at 2:30 pm, drove three hours to Pima AZ, stayed there for two hours, then drove three hours BACK to Mesa to go to our friends house. I know, we're awesome (and crazy).


Moving on...

There was a limbo-ing Frankenstein:

(that my dad later chained to a tree. Poor Franky.)

Football games:

(we went to watch Chris and David play football every week for the last 2 months and this is the only picture we have from it. Pretty sure that's a FAIL.)


Shopping:



Skype-ing:


Getting ready:


Dying my hair black:



Trunk or treats



Dressing up with Heidi and wandering around Mill Ave. (with Richard):


and finally taking Michael, Sean, and Lexi Trick or Treating with Daniel on Halloween:













Hope everyone else had an awesome Halloween! :]

Oh! and I'm going to be trying something new with my blog probably starting tomorrow so check back. :]
