Just some gems I found

Looking through iPhoto and stumbled across these forgotten treasures. Good memories with people I love :)

Happy birthday to my best friend :)

My best friend turned 18 today. Crazy, right??

Don't know what I'd do without him.

So Kendall, contrary to popular belief,

You are not the worst :)

You're actually kinda the best.

Hope your day was absolutely great!

Sometimes I'm really classy and styish and stuff.

Two things I really really hate to be:

Cold and wet.

Then why oh why would I ever go sledding?

I don't even know.

All I know is that I somehow ended up with this glorious ensemble

-my purple Xela sweatshirt

-bright pink snowpants

-Kendall's coat and winter hat

I just tried to upload a pic, but it hasn't worked yet :/ Perhaps I'll get it up someday.

But I think it's pretty safe to say that yesterday I was both classy and stylish. Or something.

And just in case you were wondering, yes, I did actually have fun - I'm surprised too - even if I did injure myself trying to make a snow angel. . .

ALSO. Just a little fyi for ya, I decided to go vegetarian for the next month. It's just something I've always wanted to try. So no meat for me until March 21! Wish me luck :)

Star-Crossed Lovers. . .

Let me tell you a tale.

A sort of coming-of-age anecdote if you will.

Of how a young lad and lass went from this

to this

on to this

then to this

and finally to this

But since a picture is worth a thousand words, I basically just told you a 5,000 word story. Sorry, my mouth runs away with me sometimes.

To wrap it all up: Thanks Mark for a stellar night at the Sweetheart's Dance!

Perfection.

Melanie Moore. Yeah, you could say I'm obsessed.

Sometimes. . .

Totally stole this from Grace. But I don't feel all that guilty because she stole it from someone else :)

I get weirdly excited about the toys in kids' meals from fast food restaurant.

I feel overwhelmed with gratitude when I read sweet notes from sweet girls :)

I can't stop thinking about April. Definitely going to be a rockin' month, nbd.

I just want to eat popcorn and raspberries all day, every day.

I am kinda a bad person and eavesdrop on the secretaries gossiping during office aid.

I wish I could dye my hair purple. Not the whole thing, obviously, just a little strand. But I know I would absolutely regret it ten minutes later.

I just don't understand the allure of smoking. Seriously, bad breath and diseased lungs? And for what?

I can't believe how close I am to GRADUATING! AND COLLEGE!!

I strongly consider spending a lot of money on tickets to the Lady A concert in two weeks. . .

Today I woke up and realized

I really really love my family.

And seriously, can you blame me?

So even though we're scattered all across the country (from Ohio to Texas),

even though we steal each other's clothes

even though chocolate doesn't last long in this house

and I'll never ever win a game of Scrabble

I'm still proud to be a
