The small things in life...

Sometimes the best things in life are the small things, the little things that just bring a smile. Like giving someone a gift....

Or taking a corny picture with your brother....
Getting a "Happy 16th Birthday" banana...thanks Haylee!
Figuring out the easy way to do a puzzle...
Seeing old friends at prom...
Or just being silly. I did Jeanea's hair in this picture...

I think she looks like Gwyneth Paltrow off the movie

Emma. It doesn't look as good on me I don't think. Haha.

Tuesday

Well everybody, it's Tuesday. You know what Tuesday means? Nothing anymore...Tuesday is (was) the day that I waited for for an entire week to come...it was the day the brought me so much to look forward to...it was the day I would see my Davids on tv. But Alas! no more Davids. I woke up this morning with the refreshing thought "Tuesday..." in my little brain and it suddenly vanished when I realized that what I would be watching on tv tonight would not be my favorite show American Idol. I have yet to even see what this mystery show is...maybe I won't even watch tv...maybe I shall just go into my room and grieve. Maybe I will do homework to ease the pain, get my thoughts on to something else...other than my all too soon lack for American Idol.
ANYWAYS.....I have volleyball tryouts tomorrow night for the summer league. I am super excited about this. Playing volleyball always makes me happy...see? :) smiley face. That's right, I'm happy right now. Because I'm thinking about volleyball. You just watch, though. In an hour I will be holed up in my room doing homework and crying over American Idol...Until next time, my merry readers.

Woot

Well, it's finally happened. I now have my lisence. I went in yesterday and took my test and passed with a 95% and have already been to Cottage Grove 2 times and I took my little sister to softball practice and I drove to school and back and went to Andrew Sanders house. Am I incredible or what? Haha. I'm glad I passed and that it's all finally over. Now I don't have to take the bus home every day or ask for a ride home if I'm sick of the bus. And every once in a while I can leave somewhere for lunch so I don't always have to eat school lunches...maybe I should just start packing my own. :) Bad habit...Anyhoo, American Idol is on tonight and I'm UBER excited. At this point I honestly don't care who wins...they both deserve it and I would buy both of their cds. So, on that note, GO DAVID!!

David & David

Well, I think that tonight's outcome of American Idol was fairly predictable. Syesha...so long, farewell, blah blah blah blah blah...I don't know how to spell those words. Anyhoo, I think that David is gonna win... :)

American Idol review

Well, everybody. It's finally happened. We all knew that day would come and we were all dreading it at the same time, even though we knew it had to happen. Brooke White has left the Idol stage..... I think her best performance (for me, personally) was her Dolly Parton song Joeline. I loved it! It was the performance where Simon called the fiddle player "weird", and then Brooke told him to apologize. It was all just very funny. My prediction for this week...I'm not going to say, because I'm really not sure. People are saying America will pull another "Chris Daughtry" and one of the David's will be sent home. I really hope not. David Cook is too perfect and David Archuleta is ....well....too perfect. :) Jason Castro has a lovely voice (and a lovely face). Syesha Mercado has a fabulous voice! But honestly....I think it's anyone's game. David Cook, though, is by far the most talented. We shall just have to wait and see, won't we? ;)

Yes, more

So, the house we stayed in was absolutely amazing. The pool and the hot tub were fabulous. The house was comfortable and large and just had that feeling of "AHHHH", if you know what I mean. Relaxing. I want to go back again. Disneyland and California Adventure was very very fun and tiring! My feet did not want to take my body anywhere on the third day. But I made it through. Ugh...I even on THE MAAAAAAALIBOOOMER! It's that one ride that takes you up into the air at least a million feet at a million miles per hour and then drops you for 3 seconds. It's the worst feeling in the entire world....except for going on the ferris wheel. But Shane, Jill, Shelbea and I went on it (maliboomer) at night and we could see all the pretty Disneyland lights...it was pretty nice. Actually...I think I went on it twice. Once with everyone and then another with just Shelbea and I. California Screamin was my favorite ride there. I think I went on it a whopping 11 times. I know I went on it 4 times with just Shelbea and I. Fun times.... One of my favorite parts was eating at the Blue Bayou. That's the restaurant that's inside the ride Pirates of the Carribean. It was gorgeous. It was kinda bad at the same time too because I felt totally and completely sick to my stomach and I couldn't figure out why. Oh well. So I could only eat one slice of my incredible ham and cheese sandwhich on the best bread in the entire world. And then a hot waiter accidentally dropped a roll into my lap...it was cute. Hehe. Anywho...I'm probably missing a million things...but I can assure you I will write more about it later. It's my bed time...ish. Until next time....

catchup time!

Oy, this was a great ride. Shelbea and I went on it twice....scary.

now this is the most fun ride ever!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the scariest ride I've been on in my entire life! Never again will I go. I am deathly afraid of heights...i found that out on this ride.

Standing in line at the Pirates of the Carribean ride ....Johnny Depp!!

Shelbea and I at the entrance to Disneyland....

No idea what this building is...but it's beautiful. ;)

My gorgeous nephew Josh....his birthday is tomorrow!

Elsa and I at the Peter Pan ride....it was a long wait, but she did wonderful.
