25 things about me...

Aloha!

The other day I found this blog 'Serendipity Happens'. It's a unique blog with DIY and beauty posts galore! (witch you know I love!)
Karla, the makeup artist who is the author of the blog, once had a post "25 things about me".

That is where I got my inspiration for my post!
(it's weird that lately i've been doing post titles like 'dreams' and know i'm doing a post on 25 things about me! Ok maybe that's not weird....it just stood out to me...)

    Here it goes:

1. i'm a firm believer that a zebra is WHITE with BLACK stripes

Dreams....

Hey!
A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon The First Lime. I instantly fell in love with the blog/website and the girl who writes it sounds amazing! (her dog is SO adorable!)
The doodles all over the blog and the story behind the name are equally unique!
Her photography is amazing!

One of the sections of her blog is titled "dreams".
That's where I got the inspiration for this post. :)

MY DREAMS

have my own restaurant or work at a fancy one

4th of July 2013

Hey all!
I know it's kinda weird to be writing about the 4th of July when it's July 5th!
(I was extremely busy at my Grandma's house ALL day....and had no WiFi)

For all my international readers who are wondering what the 4th of July is....this is for you. (it's to the point, but not worthy of the history books....)

The 4th of July is not just a day in the month of July in the United States of America.....it's the day we declared our independence from England! (sorry England....we still love you!) Some of us even call it Independence Day! Today, most of my fellow Americans (and I most of the time) just think of it as a time to eat watermelon, wear shorts, watch fireworks, swim or take part in some sort of water games, and enjoy the (usually) warm weather!

Now on to the real reason I'm writing this post....
I have a picture that my friend sent me that I just had to share with you guys!
I'm not exactly sure how she did it, but it's quite creative!

 Here ya go!






****And the EXTREME countdown continues with only 12 more days before we head for HAWAII!!!!!****

Check This Out!!!!!

Hey!
I'll get right down to the point...
If you don't want to read anything else on this blog, please just read this...

There is a girl from Grace Christian Academy* who is going on a missions trip to 11 different countries in 11 months! She will be leaving in July (2013). PLEASE give her blog a little visit! (and if you are feeling generous, maybe give her a little $!)

Here's Brittany Buttram's Blog!
(Give it a CLICK! You know you want to!)

*GCA is our home school group! And the best one around too!

P.S.
(next post will probably be about my new shoes!!!!) :) :D
 You'll just have to wait!!!!!!! 

I Promoted!!!!

YAY! Today I moved up a grade!
(contact me privately if you REALLY have to know what grade I'm in)
It was a long ceremony! Since I'm home schooled, EVERYONE gets to promote (and if you are in 12th grade you graduate like usual). It went from 2:00 p.m until like 5:00 p.m.! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! But it was all good! (Except one of my friends started to fall asleep! :/ :D )
My Mom and I were the only ones from our immediate family that went.
(I say "immediate" cause I have friends that I consider my family)
My sister was in the hospital all yesterday. She was/is very dehydrated so she had to have two IVs for 2 hours. It was very hard on her. I may include more about this past week in later posts.

                     

       YAY!
