Tomorrow, September 17th JHS is wearing pink in honor of Heidi. Don’t forget.

XOXO

I just looked at a picture from when I was 8 years old. That’s half of my life. Growing up has sure been an experience. I’ve made friends, lost friends, made memories of all kinds.
I graduate 2014 and most of my friends graduate this year.

Everything is hitting me at once.
And if your reading this, and think you’ve been a part of those memories of mine. Thanks for being a part of my life.

Leave those comments. ❤

XOXO

Last night I got a message from a girl on my tennis team. It said “I don’t know if you already know this or not, but I don’t want you to find out when you get to school on Monday. Heidi passed away today.”
And I just kind of sat there and replayed my day in my head. I had just spend second period cooking with her this morning and laughing at funny things Ms. Page said. We were also the only group to get a hair in our cottage cheese. I had just started being her friend this year.
They say loss takes time to deal with. In November my Poppy, the man I was named after, passed away. The second I got on my feet again my Uncle Chano passed away. That was three weeks ago. And yesterday sweet Heidi passed away.
Everyone is posting about how this is a wake up call. It is. People do go just like that.
Appreciate everything. Take as many pictures as possible. Keep the bad ones, they’re the ones you’ll laugh about later. And always make wonderful memories with people you love.

Rest In Peace Heidi.

XOXO

I’m on a coffee date with my friend Elizabeth to end our week! It’s been a long one. Tossing around more elaborate blog ideas today.

If you had a long week I suggest you go to Starbucks with your friend and get the Carmel Hot Chocolate. ❤

XOXO

Some one asked me if it was weird if people came up to me and say “Hey, I read your blog!” Of course not, it’s out here on the Internet for people to see, it’s even linked to my Facebook!
If my friends are in my blog they know because I ask which name they would like me to use for them.
Today my friend Kirs was like, “I totally creeped on your blog and your keeks last night. I was like, “Awesome!”
This is all out there for everyone to see because I think maybe one day someone might NEED to see it. Maybe it’ll make someone’s day! Maybe there’s a sad girl out there who needs to get over her boyfriend. Or someone who needs to laugh about being lonely on Valentines day. Or someone that just wants to see if we have similar stories.

This blog is out there for all of you who feel super awkward or weird and all of you who are normal or in love. And it’s here for me.

XOXO
Yours truly. ❤

This September 11th the U.S. embassy in Egypt was attacked. All of the protesters were angry because an American film portrayed a profit inappropriately. They killed four people, and one was an ambassador that had helped them over throw a dictator. They took down our flag from the top of the building, ripped it, and put up an Islamic flag.
On 9/11 no less. The day we remember the terrorist attack that killed more that 3,000 Americans.
They claim that our freedom of speech had enabled us to ridicule their religion.
They were parading around with signs that said “There is no God.” So now i ask. What about our religion?
The part that makes me the most angry is that President Obama just apologized. That’s all. If they had complained about our film it would be right to apologize.
After they kill four innocent Americans and tear apart the flag that so many people died for I believe that president Obama should have stepped in.
I’m not saying he’s a terrible president. I’m not saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing because I’m sure in his mind it makes sense. I’m not saying that he is unqualified. And yes, I respect him as our president.
But I don’t think he made the right choice.

XOXO

Junior year has started. It’s the third week of school and I’m feeling exhausted. I’ve got two college classes and two honors classes. This is my first night without homework. I’ve decided I need my blog now more than ever! Talk about stress relief.
On the subject of boys. I found a new one over the summer and experienced the inevitable “heart break” just like any other teenage girl. I’ve decided instead of wasting my time on that I’ll surround myself with everyone I love most.
And I have.
I’m glad I can deal with every stupid teenage thing before my little sister.

XOXO

Hello my darlings I hope all is well with you. It’s been months, and I apologize.

I got my license in April and I’ve been running around ever since!

What you missed?

Prom.
A break up.
My friend being in Ohio.
A California trip.
And a new boyfriend.

I’m going to be more faithful to my blog this summer.
And I’m gonna start working out because I’m no longer fit.:/
So I’ll keep you posted.
Better stories to come I promise!

XOXO
