a new perspective

I have been the most unfaithful little blogger... it will not happen again :) I want to fully blame this on the fact that I cannot figure out how to put pictures on for the life of me.. but thats not completely true. I have been SO busy that any free moment I get, I go running and/or sleep. My apoplogies to all who read..... so I guess, sorry jasmine.

SO I will just give a giant brief overview of my summer. Went on the cruise. Most amazing week ever. LOVED it. If I could spend more time there, I most definately would have. Met some coold people and just embraced the caribbean. Maybe pictures to come later?

Second, I had a birthday. It was a decent day. Just worked. Then, that night the most amazing thing happened to me. Kellie suprised me with all my friends meeting at Cafe Rio for dinner but sitting there across the room was my brothers good friend, Chase. I have been in secret love with Chase for at least 5 years. And guess what he did? Kissed me on the freakin' cheek. It meant nothing to him but sure made my heart flutter. (p.s. I'm not literally in love with him-figure of speech)

What else? I've just been working working working. I found myself a new best friend. She is about 2 feet tall. Short brown hair. 3 years old. Is barely fitting into 2 year old clothes. Mostly wears crocks. Can't eat wheat. And lives to be in the swimming pool. Her name is Charlie and I can't get enough of her. One day, I'll be able to post videos on this thing and you can learn for yourself what a sweetheart of girl she is. She is constantly remind me she loves me, she can sing disney songs, she calls my mom "zoo", and she calls me mom. I will seriously miss her SOOO much when I leave :(

I have been spending so much time with my mom recently and have loved it. She's really great. We always seem to laugh and laugh. First at the fat girl eating her moms soups, next at the girl dressed up at the soccer game with her diet pepsi, next at grandma barton telling me I need to stop by Australia while I am in Hawaii, than at the old lady scooting backwards at the rest home... just everything :) if there was a reason I wasn't moving to Hawaii, it would be because I don't want to be away form Sue, BUT as part of our adventures together today, we watched "Soul Surfer"... I would reccomend it to ANYONE. I cry everytime. There is a big theme in it, not looking at things so closely, but getting a bigger perspective on life. In this movie, she's lost her arm, but she is trying to see the good it can bring out in her. In baby graham's case, he is 8 months old and fighting leukemia, but his family can still have a good attitude about it and know that he will make it through and is acknowleding how much it has brought their family toghether. I want to be able to do that. I feel like I could really grasp a bigger perspective on things. You can really stop reading this if you are bored yet because at this point I am just rambling.

34 days until my big adventure. I. CAN'T. WAIT. New people :) New surroundings :) New school :) crazy bugs :/ cafeteria food everyday :/ BRING IT ON :)
