Night With Amigos!

So, last night a big group of us YSA kiddos went to Buffalo Wild Wings  which was lots of fun! I got a boca burger because thats just how I roll. Don't hate. Yea, it was delicious. Then, we went bowling!

 Funny story... us girlsss got free shoes from the nice guy at the counter. We rented the lane for an hour, so like 5 minutes into our second game, we only had 3 minutes left- and of course we want to finish the game! So us girls walked back up to the counter, worked our magic, and got the guy at the counter to let us finish our game..for free! Then...we went back to the counter later and asked for bumpers so we could do Skittle Bowling. He was mean and said no because guys tend to break bumpers. But after twirling our hair, fluttering our eyelashes, and working our magic for the 3rd time, we got him to put them up! hehehehe. We had fun!

Nothin' Better In the World

Yesterday I had the perfect day:
Here I am with my cute nails, "new" jacket, and super smoothie.
  • I worked at Jamba Juice early and had some fresh squeezed orange juice, a mango smoothie with soy protien, daily vitamin, flax, and fiber, and a wheatgrass detox shot (I also got a paycheck!)
  • I went shopping at Salvation Army on 50%-off-Wednesday and go a whole new cute winter wardrobe and some heels for a total of $29.09
  • Went to the gym and played basketball then lifted
  • Went on a run outside under the palm trees
  • Came home and had basically a spa day which included shower, nails, facemask, and actually using all my fancy creams 'n lotionsss
  • Took a nap and watched Glee
  • The guy at chick-fil-a was so nice and purposely made me a large instead of small fries which is what I paid for. yay waffle fries!! <3
  • I ended the day with a cookie.

"new" shoes

Just So Excited!

It felt good to play a solid hour of piano today. I'm working on a song by The Fray (Over My Head- Cable Car). I haven't really played much piano lately, so this felt really good. It's just relaxing and makes me think in different ways. Also, since I was bored today, I went on an afternoon run- barefoot. I ran around the neighborhood, under some pretty palms, and along the bayou. I also went without my music which was different.


Lately, all I can really think about is BYUI. First off, I want to know who my roommates are. I'm pretty sure they will be awesome. I am excited to officially begin college. I want to know who my FHE group is and who my closest friends will be there. I wish I knew what job I will get (if I get a job) so I can plan for the future financially. I'm just kind of sick of Jamba Juice and American Eagle right now which is kind of sad since I just started those jobs recently. I still like teaching piano though to the cute preschool kiddos! I just got a new registration, a little 2 year old! That should be interesting and fun.


 I've been teaching myself Chinese and Italian online, with Mango Languages, and Berlitz; I love both languages. I feel productive when I study, too. I guess that's a sign that I am ready for school again. I just keep hearing stories and stuff from my friends about their college lives. I want to experience it for myself! Texas is great. I love the weather, palm trees, fun family, and friends. I definitely like YSA dances a TON better than youth dances. I'm exited to go serve in China, I just need to find money for it. And just to let you know, there are 48 days until Christmas! Also there are 57 days until I move into my apartment. YAY!

goodbye beach

Went to the beach today.. Freeport on the Gulf of Mexico. It was wonderful! It was nice and warm. I'm just pretty darn sad that I'll have to leave it for so long... peace out!
