Silver and Black Shoes

Today was a shopping day. Well, actually first I had to get a physical for basketball, then my mom and I went to Starbucks, and then we went shopping! Mainly it was a shoe shopping trip. The one pair of heels I had prior to this trip was breaking, uncomfortable, and not quite my style so I obviously needed some new ones! I've been looking for shoes for about 3 months, but I finally found 2 pairs I love! In the Dillard's clearance section I happened to find these pairs, and they were perfectly my size. I like the first black pair for the frills on top. I like the second pair for the color and I love the straps on it! Basically both pairs are nice. Hope everyone has a nice night!

Spending Time On A Translator...

One weird thing I do ALL the time is go on an online translator, and type in random phrases and find how you say them in different languages. For example, 'Dreaming in Color' in:

French: Rêver en couleurs

Spanish: Soñar en colores

Dutch: Dromen in kleur

Polish: Śni w kolorze

German: Träumen in Farbe

Filipino: Pangangarap sa kulay

Latin: Somniare in colore

Okay. So not that reading 'Dreaming In Color' in 7 languages is the most fun thing to do in the world, but in order to keep up with my goal of posting everyday I have to post something ;) Maybe I shouldn't have made that goal...

Stripes Are My Friends.

Okay, so maybe the pants are a little wild, but overall I love stripes :) I don't nearly have enough striped outfits, but really like them. They seem to make everything bolder and interesting. Specifically, I think the dress in the middle is really cute. Oh, and the girl on the left looks like Francesca Battistelli to me. Just a random thought ;) 

G'night,

Next Week...

As you can maybe see above, I was having too much fun with a calculator when I was supposed to be doing math... anyways, hi.
 
  I know it's still Friday, but I'm going to give you an overview of next week for me anyways. It's not super exciting or anything, but I always think it's fun to see what people are up to, and so that's why I'm posting.

     Sunday is going to be extremely busy for me! Sunday school, church, a surprise part/lunch after church, discipleship group, and youth group. Let me explain a little more. The surprise party is for a family who goes to my church and hosts our small group, and so it's sort of like a 'thank you' for them always hosting it. Discipleship group is a teen's bible study program my church started last year. It was really great, so I decided I'd do it again. You're put into a small group of people (generally 2 or 3) and also have an adult leader, and meet for bible studies every Sunday night. After bible study's over we would talk, play games, and even sometimes go out for ice cream at McDonald's! It was lots of fun.
     Monday is school and more school. I also might go to a JV volleyball game since I have some friends competing in it.
     Tuesday is also a school day.
     Wednesday is homeschool group classes at HEAT.
     Thurday is... wait, is that a school day too!?
     Friday is also school! :(
     Saturday is no school, but nothing else. Ha ha, so maybe it's not such an interesting week after all ;) Oh well.

Well, I guess I'm done talking. I don't have anything much more to say, so I' think it's a good time to stop.
Have a F A N T A S T I C week everyone!

Summer Memory #3

In early June, my brother Scott graduated from high school. His graduation was awesome! My cousin Sarah, Scott, and one of his friends shared a small graduation at our church. While there were only 3 graduates, there were tons of people! I think about 100 people showed up. The days before graduation were busy, and the day of graduation was even busier! It was funny- it was an hour before the ceremony began, and I was running back and forth through the courtyard in heavy rain, attempting to help with everything that was needed! After much work, the ceremony began. It was really nicely put together, and afterwards the reception was really fun! It was like a lot of people I knew, all at the same place. My friend Allie was there, my cousins were there, and my friend Breanna was there! We left the church at about midnight, and headed back home... but that wasn't the end of the fun. :) Breanna and her family came back to our house, and we did all sorts of stuff till about 2am! It was an awesome night, and was the best of the summer!

This picture is of my cousins Elizabeth, Kristen, and Sarah as well as Breanna after the ceremony. Oh, and see the balloons in the background? I believe that was 2 dozen balloons. Well, after the reception was over I had to carry 4 dozen balloons from one building to another! You would NOT believe how hard it is to shove 4 dozen balloons through some doors! LOL :) I'm glad Kristen and Sarah were there to help me, by pushing the balloons through with me.

Well, have a fantastic day!
