day 1.

SO. as i was thinking about this picture, i was like man. i need to clean my room first. but then i was like. hm. the people need to see my room on a typical day. and
yes friends, this is how it is. ALL THE TIME. i'm not a neat-freak, nor do i care that you see my room this way.
i LOVE my room. as you all probably already know from my mom's blog it was a surprise paint job! they did it for my birthday last year. and my favorite part of my room is my beds and the birds on my wall. they are right behind me in the picture. hardly visible, but you kinda get the picture!


i am still adding to my picture wall, just haven't had time or money to print off more pictures. my friends made my own self, and on top of my tv is my papa's hat which is what you see in the picture below:




i also thought i'd take a picture of my pretty CLEAN bathroom. i hate when my bathroom is dirty, so normally this part of my room stays clean! i love to color, so that's typically what the white pictures are hanging in my room. the one in this picture is ariel out of my giant coloring book i got for my birthday. i spend a lot of time in my room, and i don't think i could ask for a better one! except maybe a bigger closet.... :]

long live

highschool can cause for mean girls, bad hair days, miss communication, broken hearts, and stupid decisions.
high school is about the moment. one moment your in your boyfriends passenger seat looking at him while he's driving and think, "please don't leave."
another your sitting in the counselor's office enrolling for college classes.
next your at lunch listening to everyone laugh and the mumbles of everyone talk, and you can't help but try and listen to one conversation. (don't try it, it's too hard).
then you look around and some girl across the room whispers to her friend, and you know it's about you. shake it off and move on.
for most it's about fitting in and conforming. for others it's about getting that athletic scholarship. and for little, it's about making those lasting friends. the ones you will have for the rest of your life. thank god for mine.
high school is that stepping stone in this roller coaster ride we call life.
and one day, my generation will step up and lead this country, and one day our generation will look back on our high school years & think, man i wish i could have done this, or i wish i would've known. but we don't. and for now,
i think i'm okay with that.


to the class of 2011, i've had the time of my life. let's finish this last year strong.
& for all you mean girls out there. someday i'll be livin' in a big 'ol city and all you're ever gonna be is mean.
(tswiftmean)
grow up & move on.

that's what's on my mind lately.

young girls will dream about the boys of fall.

so.
our football team has made it to the semi-finals.
holy cow.


we're the 4 OHS football team to make it this far in owasso football history.
that's amazing. our boys have worked so hard this season. and still haven't
stopped. we're even practicing on thanksgiving. that's dedication.
we've won and we've lost, but our boys never got down. we keep our heads up.
the trainers, managers, coaches and players have all made it to the semi-finals.

and we're not going down without a fight!


go OHS!

this ain't a fairy tale.

so these are the days people told me about.

stay young as long as possible. you can wait to grow up.
you're gonna miss this. slow down.

i cannot even believe half of my senior year is over.
i'm looking at colleges. i'm looking at scholarships.
i'm picking the rest of my life. i'm being responsible.
i'm growing up.

i'm not that little girl anymore that daddy put in her big girl bed.
i'm not that little girl who sat in the back seat and made faces at
my mommy in the mirror.
i'm not the little girl who cried over scraped knees and losing soccer games.
i'm not that little girl who played dress up and called daddy in the middle
of the night to come get me.
i'm not the little girl who wore my moms shoes around the house with daddy's shirt.
the little girl who finally learned her left and right, right and wrong.
the little girl with no care in the world except knowing every word to her NSYNC cds.

i'm now the big girl applying for jobs.
the big girl in the drivers seat instead of mommy.
the big girl wishing this was a fairy tale & that i'll always be with my mommy and daddy in our castle.
i'm the big girl staying out late & daddy waiting up.
i'm the big girl crying over boys & friends.
i'm the big girl trying to make the right decisions that will benefit my future.
the girl with every care in the world about her future.


and i hope one day, i can look back and say, hey. i did it.

what i always know though, my daddy will always be there for me in the middle of the night.
my mommy will always be there on the other end of the phone. always there to make me smile.


i'm not a princess and this ain't a fairytale, but i'm my mommy's world and a daddy's girl. & with them, & my jesus. i can do anything.

thank you daddy and mommy.
