Rambler! Rambler! Rambler!

So as you can probably tell, I only write on my blog when something super exciting has happened, or when I'm really bored. When it's the second situation, I tend to ramble on about random things. Well, today is one of those days. Ha ha. So bear with me please!!! :D
Next week is girls camp, so today we went to Costco and Winco to do some grocery shopping. On Thursday and Monday, we have to make more trips to Costco. So it'll be pretty fun. :D
Today is. . .
My friend's birthday
Hot
Boring at the moment
. . .Tuesday.
One time, Lauren Heperi wrote lyrics to a song about Tuesday. I was supposed to make up a guitar part for it, but I didn't feel like I was in my zen. . . Maybe when I get back from running errands with my mom, I will work on that. I feel like I have my chi/zen attitude on now. :)
I just had a great idea for a song about summer! But I'm not going to tell you about it because I don't want it to be stolen. :D
I don't know if I mentioned this last time, but, did you see my blog? Well, obviously, but did you notice it?! They have all of these new backgrounds and templates now that you can use to make your blog super-duper unique! It's pretty fun!
Speaking of blogging, a couple of days ago, I made a photography blog. This blog is where I will be posting all of my photos now. I got tired of putting them on Facebook because the photo quality of Facebook did them no justice. So here's the link!

Before I sign off, I'd like to announce that my RSPD (Repetitive Song Playing Disease) has been cured. Ok, that's all I've got for today. Quiero tu tener un dia buena!! Adios amigos!!

Lovely Summer Days

Next week is girls camp!!! It's coming up so fast!!! Yesterday we had a few young women come over to help us clean up the boxes and coolers. We got it all done, and now. . . it's in our living room. Ha ha. Gotta love it. :D
Today I went to my friend's mission farewell. His name is Matt Barry. His talk was so amazing! He talked about how scared he is to go on his mission, but he knows that the Lord is there with him. One of my favorite things that he said was this.
"
Pray Always. It may not seem significant but to me this represents that the communication of prayer is always open. Even though electricity may fail and technology won't work, we always have an open communication with our Father in heaven."
Can I just tell you? This guy is so spectacular. He's truly amazing, and he is going to be an outstanding missionary down in Brasilia, Brazil. He is going to change so many peoples' lives. :)
It's been so hot!! I LOVE it!!! Summer is definitely my favorite season. Although, I'm actually really excited to get back to school. As amazing as my summer has been, I've had a lot of time of doing. . . nothing. So I really am excited to be busy doing something again!
Well, that's pretty much it for today. Have a happy day!

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!
