record timing.

So, this is really big for me. I've never been much of a runner...I despised it as a kid. Pretty much for the sheer fact that it was mandatory in school, aha! Now I love to do it. For me. It's a good way for me to clear my head. Believe it or not, for me running is a "de-stresser."

This quote is it...I couldn't' have said it better myself! 

I made record timing for ME on July 31st! I ran my fastest mile...8 minutes and 2 seconds! I know it's not all that impressive but for me it is! I'm so excited about my accomplishments, I can't even explain it.

update on life.

I've had so much on my mind & haven't had the time to post.

working. cleaning. pinning. researching. making lists.

That's what my life consists of. I really love being out of school. Not having the stress of getting up early going to school, keeping up with everything. I get so much more done in a day than I did in high school.



My 18th birthday just passed last week, I had so much fun. I'm so blessed to have the wonderful people I have in my life. My parents & Paige made it such a special day, one that I will never forget.
We went to Chili's for birthday lunch and met Steph there, so glad I got to spend part of this day with her as well. Afterwards Mom, Paige, and I went to get a pedicure. Of course we had to make a starbucks trip, can't go a day without starbucks anymore. hah! We celebrated that night with cake and icecream. All in all it was a wonderful day, glad I got to share with the people I care most about.

I have finally found the motivation to start working out again. I can't even explain how happy I am about that! I have actually started running!! I use to hate running, I told myself I would never do it. & now it's a way for me to destress, I just run it all off. I find it relaxing, and a good time to just clear my head. I'm starting to make healthier eating choices as well. I recorded my first run today, I know it's not too spectacular but we all have to start somewhere, right? I will continue posting about my fitness motivation.


I have once again fallen behind with project life, but nothing to big this time. only four weeks! I really do love project life, I'm glad I have documented all of the memories that have happened thus far in 2013 that would have originally been forgotten.


I start college soon, it's really hard to believe that I'm already in college. It feels like I was just starting my freshman year yesterday, oh how petrified I was. And now that chapter of my life has closed, and on to the next one. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to be going to college and making a career out of something I absolutely love to do.

Hope everyone is having a good great week.

and a new chapter begins.

It's hard to believe that my high school years are over. Within a blink of an eye. It feels like just yesterday I was starting freshmen year...so petrified. I didn't know anybody. I was the new kid. And yesterday was my last day of high school...forever. It's bittersweet. I'm very excited to begin my life, and start a new chapter. I'm ready to move on to bigger and better things. I'm ready to receive my degree in Graphic Design and continue my life. But then again, I'm going to miss certain parts of high school. I'm going to miss my graphic arts academy with my favorite teacher, J-Rod. I'm going to miss my senior year anatomy class with my other favorite teacher, Mrs. Colyer. A small part of me will miss walking through the hallways and having my scheduled routine. Most of all, I will miss my fellow classmates. As much as I didn't like everyone, and I was through with the drama, there is a part of me that is going to miss everyone. Everyone from my high school career has touched my heart, and they will forever have a special place in my heart. I hope that everyone will succeed, I know my senior class of 2013 will do great things.

I have my last few high school events this coming week.
-annual awards ceremony: 5/20.
-senior breakfast and graduation rehearsal: 5/23.
-baccalaureate: 5/23.
-graduation: 5/25.

It's hard to believe that my time is up. I have learned a lot of things through high school that will carry me all throughout life. and so my life begins....
