Prom.

Yes. You guessed it. Prom. Full of all the glitz and glam and fancy dresses you could ever imagine. I can't even begin to explain how amazing my very first prom was. Not to mention my adorable date(: So I figured pictures speak louder than words. Enjoy.

The day date. Paintball. AKA PAINball. I have welts. It's fine though. Oh and aren't we just adorable?

No.

The awkward part of Prom.

Like I said. Awkward. But then my cute little cousin brought me these flowers.

(Props to Morgan Jo Nelson for the hair. Thank you so so much. It looked fantastic.)

Then onto the dinner and dancing portion. Goodwood is definitely good.

Wow. Cheesy. But I guess were pretty cool. The night then proceeded with the actual prom part, and then to Dre's grandma's for a little Avatar watching. I was out within ten minutes. The night was fantastic. Sunday consisted of the color festival. Not really part of prom, but it was exceptionally fun. So whatev's.

Before.

After.

Let's just say it was a good weekend. Hat's off to Prizzom. And a big thank you to the boyfrann. 

Mixed.

So I am having mixed feelings. If you know me, you know this is usual. But still. So my drill team has a possibility of getting cut. Just peachy. End of the term is friday. Guess who has three F's and two NC's? That's right. This girl. I was stressed. But guess what? I'm not anymore. Because I believe that everything will fall into place. (Plus, I turned in a freaking buttload of homework today. And milked the teachers. And possibly lied a couple times. No big deal.) Registration was this week, also. Let's just say, skyward is a pain in the ay-ess-ess. But don't you fret. I got all the classes I wanted(: I am pretty much fluent in french. Just saying. Oh and I just want to have a baby. No not when I get older, now. Right now. But don't worry. I won't do anything stupid. 

On another note. Let me just run by you some things that have gone down the past week.

Our drill showcase was last week. Last time dancing as a team. Ever. I bawled. Then, our coach told us she was not returning. I cried some more. Then, I went to Chilli's and everything was much better. The next night was our high school's talent show, in which I competed in. One of the best experiences. I made so many friends, and had a blast singing on stage for the first time in a while. Austin was out of town last weekend. So I had a girls night with none other that Tawnia and Mady. Check out their blogs. They're great(: Hung out with the boyfriend sunday, monday, tuesday, and wednesday. Left for Mesquite thursday morning. Got a tan, watched some baseball, and had a blast. Got back saturday. Hung out with the boyfriend again. He watched a little princess with me, and we took crazy pictures after. Yesterday, Austin came over and we did homework. First time he has ever been inside my house. Crazy right? Six months last thursday. Prom this weekend. Basketball game tonight. Couldn't be more excited. Peace and love.

Life is beautiful. Enjoy it.

Amen.

I know it probably won't mean a thing, and no one who cares is going to see this. But I have a friend who is joining the military, and I just thought I would put it out there how brave I think his choice is. It is a big decision, and he will be leaving everything behind to go serve his country. Our army men are incredible, and I will never be able to thank them enough. They risk their lives on a daily basis, and I can't imagine ever having the strength or courage to ever do that. And a big thank you to their friends and families that put up with the fear of losing them every day.

Go With It.

Life is an awkward thing. We all want to have a life just like a fairytale. With that one prince charming, the castle to live in, the beautiful gowns you wear as everyday clothing, and a happy ending.
Reality check. Life is not a fairytale. It's a test. It tests your strengths, and it tests your weaknesses. You have to search hard for your prince charming. Castle-like houses are hard to come by, without a butt load of money. Clothing consists of jeans and a t-shirt, and on rare occasions, a fancy dress. Happy endings are a lot of work; they are possible, but come with a price.
Life is an awkward thing. It is full of heartache, misery, and far too many goodbyes. People walk in and out of your life like it's nothing. Things happen, and people change. Challenges are thrown at you from all directions, all at once. You feel like you are alone 95% of the time.
But here's a secret: Your not.
The greatest thing about life is that it happens. It happens to everyone. This makes life so great because it gives you a reason to relate to people. To talk to people. To get close to people. Like I said before, people walk in and out of your life faster than you expect. And it hurts. It always does. But instead of living in the past and moping about "what could have been," you be grateful they were in your life. If even for a little while. Because, even it they did nothing but torment your entire being, at least they made an impact. Even if you see it as a negative impact. But truth is, there are no negative impacts. Because without people screwing everything up, then nobody else could learn from their mistakes. And let's be honest. We are all human. No one is going to do everything perfect. Not one single person. People fight, and people change. Sorry to say, but there isn't one single thing you can do about it. That's something I have just recently accepted. And I have found that the best thing you can do, is go with it. Live it up while you can. Don't sweat the small stuff, and don't worry about pleasing everyone. Because you never will. And that is perfectly fine. If someone can't stand you, then they can simply sit down. Because you're you. And you shouldn't change that for anyone. So please, for the sake of every living thing on this earth, own who you are. Because I can guarantee that there is someone out there who loves you for who you are, and not for what your trying to be. Every day, ask yourself, "If I were to die today, would I be content with my life and the way I lived it?" And if your not, then change something. Because it can all be ripped right out from under you in a heartbeat. Look to the future, and hope for the best. Work hard, and if you don't succeed in getting what you dream of, then try again. Love everyone and don't live in the past. You can't change it, so the best thing you can do is strive to be a better your and work for a better tomorrow. Don't live with any regrets and embarrass yourself. Being humble is a good thing. Get involved in everything possible, and get close to as many people as you can. Don't be afraid of heartache. It will happen, so learn from it and move on. Simple. Life is a beautiful thing. Life is a crazy thing. But you just gotta Go With It.
