coming to an end

as the end of the month is right around the corner, school is coming to and end. and quick. I'm kind of hesitant on what is to come for next year. the seniors are leaving this Friday, they do their senior walk. There will be people laughing and smiling, and crying. me on the other hand, I will be one of the many crying. It's a bittersweet moment. I will definitely miss this senior class, a lot of them are very close to me.
then comes next Friday...the day when my junior year ends. I'm going to be a senior, and to be honest, I'm quite scared. before I know it, my high school career will be behind me...that's something that I am not ready to face.
but on the bright side of all of this...my senior year will be exciting. I'm captain of colorguard. I'm joining interact with my best friend. I have all the senior activities and perks. I'm in choir. I'm going to feel more involved with the school. etc. etc. also, with it being my senior year...it's time to start thinking about college, and what I want to do with my life. actually, it's past time to start thinking about that, and I have no clue about anything. I'll figure it out along the way, I'm sure.

paintballing

*erin and I geared up and ready to go*

I can finally say that I have gone paintballing, and to my surprise it was definitely a lot of fun. I find myself wanting to go back. I was with my best friend and boyfriend and his best friend, we met up with some kids from school and some of his friends from a different school. We just went out to have fun and hang out.

I was completely scared for my life when I first got there, my dad was saying that I was going to hate it because I would get hurt! Actually, I only got hit once and it was in the back, and I shot five people to my knowledge! I was very proud of myself, ya know being a newbie and all. haha.

the month in review

*instagram challenge - march*a month in review. a glimpse of the past.
In this past month I had a couple "firsts." I attended my first prom. I went to my first choir competition. I've been pretty busy this last month, with all my "firsts", school activities, choir, hanging out with friends, school work, going to the theater. I like staying busy.


For those of you who didn't know, I joined choir this year. I'm really enjoying it, I love singing, and it's a really good way to express yourself. This past Thursday we went to mpas (competition), and we got superiors and excellent's across the board. Which means we are going to state! Can you believe that?! state! My first year in choir and we received superior ratings and we are getting ready for state! I'm grateful to be a part of the family choir, and I can't wait for the upcoming year.

currently: 3.16.12

**taken by breanna blair**mom, dad, and I are currently in North Carolina for mom's classes at donna downey studios. I'm so proud of my mom, she is finally seeing that she has a huge amount of talent and a lot more that she has yet to open up. She is finally finding some confidence within herself, and I know when she puts her mind to something, something great will come out of it.
watching: the news with my dad. I don't understand why he enjoys watching the news, but whatever.

reading: Beautiful Creatures. so far, it's pretty good.

needing: to work on spanish...I'm really behind...

obsessing: nothing has changed here, it's still pinterest. everyday. But I am also loving books having to deal with witches and warlocks and all things related.

learning: that life is too short to get angry with stupid drivers.

loving: being on an adventure with my family. We rarely get away, just the parents and I, but the few times that we do I really enjoy it. I love spending time with my family, though I miss being back at home, I really enjoy getting away with them.

looking forward to: March 26th...the new season of secret life. next Wednesday and Thursday. going back home.

pinning: absolutely anything and everything I find that catches my eye. I now have 36 boards.

live in the moment

*let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.
I have always loved quotes.When I was a little girl mom and I would always sit down together and search for quotes we loved and wrote them in our "quote books." It was wonderful "mommy-daughter" time! I miss doing stuff like that, but now that I'm older we can do things together that I couldn't have done when I was little.
I also think it's important to capture the random moments in life. This picture was taken at the international cultural expo.
*goals update:I am still eating healthy and enjoying the foods I love at the same time. I have lost three more pounds!! That makes a total of 6.5 pounds lost last month! I am quite excited about my tiny accomplishment. I have recently gotten back on my schedule of working out every night as well.
Have a good week.-Breanna.

**I think that doing your currents every now and then is a good idea. Let's you see how things are changing for you. And you could possibly make a mini book out it at the end of a year, or something along those lines.

results of the retreat

This past weekend was the first retreat of the year for She Scrapbooks. It was wonderful. All the ladies had a good time. Lots of laughs and jokes were shared. We all got to share our creativity with one another. I really enjoy being a part of the retreats, I always have ever since I was a little girl. I managed to get one mini book and three pages complete!
