dang, what happened to finding neverland?

i remember in junior high, carly poth and i would promise each other that before we turned 18, we would find neverland. crap, my birthday is in less than 2 weeks! running out of time!

i don't want to grow up! but i guess it's just one of those things that is unavoidable. (so i've heard)
today we did our senior project presentations. i remember looking up to those big, bad, awesome seniors and just wishing for the day when i could date all the hot football players and wear a princess dress to prom... oh wait i'm that old, but i just don't feel like a senior! still! it's 2nd term and reality still hasn't set in.

it was so strange to see all of my peers get up and talk about a career they were interested in, and realize we are talking about these things because in a few months we have to decide what we want to "be when we grow up" and go away to college

also, priority deadline for most colleges was today for admissions. i also thought today would never come, and spent the whole day frantically trying to get everything finished. i applied for utah state, byu, u of u, tulane, embry riddle, oregon, oregon state, colorado school of mines, and chicago. yes, a lot of schools but i want to have options! i really would love to go away, but honestly i don't know where i would find $50,00 a year to pay for out of state tuition.
by the way, i love my life! i have the best friends on the planet, i love school, i love my family, my brothers are the coolest teenagers in the world and life is really going my way right now

big smile :)

new motto

DON'T CHASE THEM, REPLACE THEM

which is, in fact, exactly what i plan on doing.
i've decided the only way to truly get over someone is to find someone you care about more

it's tough, it really is... i loved him for a very long time. and freak, change is scary! but also exciting! im looking forward to the doors that have now been opened for me. it's going to take a while, but whenever i have my doubts, i just turn on 500 days of summer. love, and hate that movie. love it because it has a rockin soundtrack. hate it because it describes my relationship perfectly! it is unlike every other romantic movie out there. it is REAL. yeah in real life, couples don't always meet in the perfect coffee shop, snuggle up by the fire together, get married and live happily ever after. WEIRD! i feel like our society has almost been brainwashed into what a relationship should be.. or the perfect guy. DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED WITH DANG TWILIGHT.

anyways, yes, life will move on. and i am looking forward to college so much i can't stand it! whole new pool of boys!(: woo woot!

it's no problem!

kellie anne carlson and i tend to bring out the 12 year olds in each other. i have seriously missed her so much since she moved to california. we have driven around wearing masks and turbans doing dances, and the kinda sad part is, i love every second of it!

on tuesday, november 23, bountiful utah was suppose to have the biggest blizzard in 7 years... yeaaah we got snow, but nothing unusual! basically the whole city shut down, so we decided to make a video while we were stuck together (:

ps if you don't laugh, im sorry, i think it's hilarious!
