Summer!

Hey there! Ha ha. It's been what. . . 4 months since I've updated my blog? Sad! Anyway, school's out for summer!!! (Anyone else have that 'School's Out' song from Guitar Hero pop into their head?) Life has been fabulous! Since I've last updated I've been to see Jason Aldean, become an upperclassman, mowed 7 inch grass, seen it snow in the last week of May, failed to find a song with my name in it, been to Disneyland, fallen on the floor after doing an epic jump move off of the stairs at school, started saying "EPIC FAIL!" and "SUCCESS!", had a creep-o ask me out 4 times and then he told me he loved me (weirdo. . .), started taking driver's ed, painted my fingernails and toenails greenish-blueish, attempted to play Sunshine (my friend's uke), made a pact to never eat at McDonald's again, bought gladiator sandals, eaten an apple a day (which started on Monday last week), sworn to wear no makeup this summer except on special occasions and for church sometimes, taken lots of pictures, played tennis for the 2nd time in my life and was horrible, made about 50 new best friends on choir tour, went backstage at Disneyland and recorded Disney music there, been to the beach, stayed in a hotel with a koi pond that also had turtles in it, found my dream house by the ocean, learned to like cinnamon bears, saw Hairspray live in LA, had a best friend leave on his mission, started to grow out my hair again, and I've also started to run again.
Overall, I think it's been a very busy and productive 4 months. Don't you? Ha ha. I went running with Susie this morning and that was pretty hysterical. We ran about a mile and we were so dead after. It was pretty funny. Her dad made us scrambled eggs and pancakes when we got back.
Lauren is staying over with us because her parents are in New York. Right now she's at a retreat for the stake YCL's. Tonight we're going to have a movie night and watch the movies she's never seen before that she has to see in order for her life to be complete.
Rachel and Susie and I want to go swimming today. We'll see if that happens. Ha ha. Today I also have to mow the lawn and go order scentsy stuff for my mom from Sister Young. I wonder if I'll get tan at all today. The farmer's market is going on today too. Maybe I'll try to go to that. If not, I'll go next week.
Steven Pelham and I decided to have a movie party so that I can watch Strange Brew, which is apparently the best movie on the planet, and I can't move on with my life without seeing it. So hopefully we'll have that sometime soon so that I can feel fulfilled. Ha ha.
Anyway, I'm going to go mow the lawn before it gets too hot. Adios! I hope your day is merry and bright!
-Rachel :)
