Life Abundant :)

You know those moments when you just feel like your sitting on a cloud soaking in all the sun? Yeah that's me right now. Not to brag or anything but life is going pretty great for me these days! I don't think I have the right to even complain! I mean, let me go into a little detail of why my life is going great.

1. I have the goofiest, sometimes scary crazy friends in this giant slowly rotating world! I just cant tell you how much I love them!! My friends are the reason I wake up each morning, the reason I don't sluff every class I have... and also the fact that I am terrified the police will hunt me down and catch me!! I am 100% positive I am going to live an extra 10 years because of how hard I laugh when I am with my friends!! And the most randomest things happen when we are together! First we are making grilled cheese and the next thing you know we are laying on the ground writing lists, forgetting we have a sandwich on the oven burning darker and harder! I don't know half the noises that come out when we are together but I don't care! I just want to live in the moment and join in with the noises and laughter that appears out of lack of words! I love my friends, and am positive they are what make me, me!!

2. My friends are very talented in pretty much all that they do!! Its crazy how just a group of awesome teenagers can come together and make such beautiful music. I wish I could be as talented! But you just wait till my senior year, I don't know what will happen but only good can come from my senior year. And the thought of college will increase my need to be crazy, because who wants to grow up? Not this Miss over here! No way. But I will for sure shoot to be as talented as this group in the picture below! They played "Little Talks" and blew us away with their skill and hot voices!

3. I cant get enough of my Ukulele!! Honestly I could just play that babe all day long!! It honestly has become a drug for me....I think I might need help. And I'm not even good! i know one song? It's just me laying in my chair jamming away in hopes that something incredible will happen! Maybe something like I will hear a chord and just instantly know how to play!! But for now I will jam away, let my mom tell me I sound like a dying cow, and find a sculpture in this block of marble!

4. Seniors are the funniest, craziest, weirdest, people I have ever met! and I cant wait to be one!! I think this picture shows exactly what i mean :) Like, who does this? hahaha only the people I know!! And I love it!! To be honest the kid's face in red, David, makes me laugh so hard I could bust a gut! His face slays me!! And that's just his personality! I don't know him super well, but of what I have learned, he is exactly like that! But everyone in this picture is like that, he just happens to be showing it the best. I am excited to be a senior, not excited to loose these ones though. Just the thought makes my heart hurt. And the funny part is, I haven't known them long! They have just accepted me and my friends in their circle! And maybe that's something I will miss the most, they know how to show you love. In friendship and in romance haha jk!! You know I wish ;) The guy on the farthest left is the guy i get to go to prom with!! But we will get to that later! Just know that these boys, and many more friends have given me such a blast this sophomore year of mine!

5. My brother is preparing to leave on his mission!! He is filling his papers out as I type this ridiculous post! Oh man!! Ladies, I am just sorry you missed out on this hunk ;) But on a serious note, I think this is the one brother I will miss the most! He isn't that far away from my age, and even though he is quiet and keeps to himself, I know he is there for me. Man I love this kid! This ginger fellow is one of the greatest! And I cant even tell you  how amazing he is going to be in the Lord's hands. His mission is going to strengthen him in ways you'd think weren't needed or even possible! I am so grateful for this church and how is strengthens my family and me. I cant wait to write this missionary and see how the next 2 years of his life pan out!

6. I have the greatest dad in the world! Like, lets be honest here! He is the greatest example, and every time I see him struggle and get on his knees I can tell there is a superhero in disguise underneath all his dorky, sentimental, giant heart.

7. I have so much ahead of me I want to accomplish! So much I just don't know what to do first! I have so many opportunities and chances in this life its hard to know which one to do first! But I think I will take each day with my foot in front of the other.

8. I have ancestors. I know what you are thinking, "well duuuuhh! what's the big deal?!" But let me tell you! I just looked at my family tree and saw all these amazing people that I am related to! The thing that kept popping into my head was that they count on me to keep my name a honorable name. And that helped me see my life so far in a kind of bird's eye view, and see what more I can do! (deep right?!) ;)

 

9. (I hope you are already sitting down, but if not you better take a seat!) I am going to Prom!! Right?! Who would have thought someone was brave enough to ask this grasshopper shake addict creature to a dance??! And to shock you even more I am going with a great guy!! I mean GREAT guy! (see picture below) I cant even express to you how happy I am to just be going to Prom, but to be going with a guy like the one I am going with? Yeah I pretty much go into shock everytime I remember I am going to Prom with a stud!! It kinda gives me the feeling of pressure to think that this is his last dance! But no matter what, I am going to have a BLAST!!! And his best friend asked my best friend!!!! So pretty much the sum of my feelings for future Prom: EXTRTREME HAPPINESS :D
