hello again

Every single time I get good at blogging regularly, I stop. It's a bad cycle going on here and I'm trying to fix it. But life is just so busy. Really, it never stops. I'm growing up so fast. I love it, and I hate it. I want to be young again, I want to live the simplest life possible. But then again, I'm SO excited for my life to really begin.

The future has been fresh on my mind as of recent. I went to California last weekend for some dance workshops. I attended a class at UC Irvine and it was seriously unbelievable. The campus was beautiful and I found myself picturing me going to college there. Even though I will probably stick around here and attend BYU, it's so wild to think about it all. It's so crazy to think that I'm gonna have to grow up soon. Sure, I'm a high school student and I am as mature as a high school student can really be. But I'm going to be in college in about a year, which means dating. Not just taking a guy to Sweethearts or being asked to prom. I'm gonna be dating guys that I could really consider marrying. It sounds crazy, but I am so ready.

I am so ready to have someone who will love me, who will make decisions with me and learn all about this life with me. We will explore together, we will tease and talk about everything under the stars. We'll agree to disagree on certain things, and we'll always have each others backs, even when if we know we're wrong. We'll raise a darling family, a family that certainly won't be perfect, but we will love each other and teach our kids so many things we wish we would have known earlier in life. Our children will teach us things we could never learn without them, even when they're in their teenage years and basically disown us as their parents. We will enjoy the simple things in life, like kisses before bed and eating cookie dough and snuggling on Friday nights. We will love each other endlessly, even when my metabolism slows down and I get wrinkly and saggy. Our love will never die, not even when we do.

Maybe I over think the future, but I'm just excited. Yes, I have lots of growing up to do, just as everyone does at this stage. I'm just excited to turn a big page in this story we call life, and explore new things with new people that I will love and care for so much.

But as for now, I'm still in high school, and I still don't have a boyfriend, and I'm still at home blogging on a weekend night when everyone's out partying. But ya know what, I'm absolutely okay with that. Cause there's plenty of time to be a big kid, and to love one man with all that I have. For now, I'm seventeen years old and I won't be one of those silly girls to wish my life away. I am blessed, and things can only get better from here.


Until tomorrow; goodnight, lovebirds.

Every girl has that one song that describes their lives in a nutshell at a certain point. This is mine for now, and probably for the next couple of years. Literally EVERY SINGLE WORD is a feeling I can relate to right now.
Enjoy, beauties.



I'd love to know just what you're thinkin'
Every little river, runnin' through your mind
You give and you take
You come and you go
You leave me here wonderin' if I'll ever know
How much you care or how much you don't
Whatever you need, whatever you want

If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake
If you're gonna be somebody's first time,
Somebody's last time, baby be mine
If you're lookin' to be somebody's 'just friends',
A little laughin', little lovin', never callin' again, that's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Be mine, yeah
Oh, be mine

I guess that all I'm tryin' to tell ya
Is a minute with you is better than two without
Oh, I won't be a fool but I can't play it cool
So I'm playin' safe and I'm breakin' the rules
I'm wishin' I had what I know that you got
So if you're comin' my way then please don't stop

If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake
If you're gonna be somebody's first time,
Somebody's last time, baby be mine
If you're lookin' to be somebody's 'just friends',
A little laughin', little lovin', never callin' again, that's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Be mine
Oh, woah
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Or somebody's mistake
Somebody's first time, or their last time, baby be mine
If you're lookin' to be somebody's 'just friends',
A little laughin', little lovin', never callin' again, that's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak
Be mine (If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak)
Be mine (If you're gonna be somebody's mistake)
Oh, I'll take my chances
If you're gonna be someone's heartbreak
If you're gonna be someone's mistake
Somebody's first time, somebody's last time
Be mine
Oh, be mine
Be mine
Baby, baby, baby, be mine, all mine
If you're gonna break someone's heart, yeah
Might as well, might as well be mine

Can I just say... I have the greatest best friends in the world. It turned out to be quite a fantastic week for me, despite the anxiety I have been having the past two days. I spent most of the week with one of my best friends, little miss Kady. Little miss Kady is such a great friend, I don't even know where to begin. I was watching over my cousin's house while she and her hubby were in Washington. Kady and I slept over there a couple times and I don't think I'm speaking for myself when I say, we had so much fun. We had dance parties, made up funny dances to funny songs, ate some Costa Vida, watched movies, and had some of the greatest conversations.

Ya know, I really am so blessed to have friends who are so down to earth. I can honestly say, me and Kady have some seriously good conversations. Sure, we're crazy, stupid teenage girls most of the time. But I think we really know where our lives are going, and I'm so grateful for that. I'm incredibly grateful for friends who guide me and remind me daily that high school life doesn't have to be like in the movies. It can be plain, simple, and we can be good kids, even when we're crazy teenagers.

A couple days ago, I sang the national anthem at my dad's basketball game. My other best friend, Alisha came with me. We went downtown and got some coffee before I sang. There was a super hot guy at Beans & Brews, and we took pictures of him while he wasn't looking (the fact that I just admitted to that publicly.....). We joked, laughed, shared stories. We went back to the arena and the time came for me to sing. I was TERRIFIED. I had sang the anthem in that arena at least 4 times, so I had no reason to be as scared as I was... but I was. Absolutely petrified. Alisha was so helpful to me as far as calming me down, of course that was after she told me she had a secret to tell me, and then burped in my ear. I sang and was so content with how I did. We stayed for the rest of the game and had such a good time. I felt so blessed to have a best friend who I share such a great bond with and who I can share such incredible experiences with.

So all in all, I am blessed. I know that so many people would KILL for a best friend like mine, and here I am with two of them.  I am truly blessed- not lucky, but blessed. God has blessed me with these two pretty ladies in my life, and I am so grateful for it.

Have a fantastic evening, ladies and gents.


oh, my mom's pretty rad too
