I'll be back!

Hey guys, sorry but this post isn't going to have any quotes. :/ I just wanted to let you all know, I'm going to Girl's Camp this week. I'll be gone till Saturday. I was going to update my blog on Sunday but never got around to it. I have some love quotes I wanted to put up. Haha. So sometime after I get back, I will post those but before I post those I already have another post in mind. I'll update my blog again on Saturday after I get home and have showered and unpacked. I promise I will! I would do it now, but it's morning and I still have some things I need to do before I leave in a few hours...I procrastinated on some things. So yeah, goodbye for now. I'll miss you all and it won't be for too long. Thanks! Love y'all!

Hey guys! Sorry it's been awhile since my last post. I was thinking about doing one this past week, but I was hardly gone. I went on a YCL retreat on Tuesday and Wednesday and then on Thursday till Saturday I was gone on Trek. For those of you who don't know what Trek is, it's where you go off for a few days and pull handcarts and pretty much are pioneers for those few days. So it was pretty hard, but it was so much fun. I had a great week and it was so much fun. So I'm only going to be giving a few quotes here. I promise to post some other quotes up sometime later this week! Have a great week!

One step at a time...

Hey guys! It's almost summer! I cannot wait! I'm soooo excited! I'm so tired of school right now. I need a break! It's so weird to think how old I'm going to be...I mean yeah, I'm not too old...but still to me...I'm growing up WAAAAYYYY TOO FAST! So these last few weeks have been insane! My sister left for her mission and will be flying out to Richmond, Virginia this Wednesday! This will be the longest that she has been away from home! A year and a half...which isn't too long, but still...she's my sister. I've lived with her my whole life, and even when she did move out, it wasn't like I still couldn't see her...whereas this...I won't get to see her till that year and a half is over. Well, I'm sure she will learn a lot and she'll have a blast! Oh, last post I mentioned that I was doing One Acts for my school...well we did really good. I'm really proud of everybody who was in it. We got in a three-way tie for Judges Choice of Best One Act! I want to just really quick thank my director for all she has taught me through it all. She is so amazing, not just as a director, but as a friend too. I had a blast being a part of her One Act. I am so grateful for the experience she gave me. Thank you so much Bonnie! I'm really going to miss you! As well as the rest of the cast from my One Act! I had a lot of fun with all of you! You all are amazing! Oh and guess who got to skip Drama 2 and made it into Drama 3! Yup, this girl! I'm so happy and sooo thankful! The end of this school year is finally starting to work out! It's exactly what I needed to keep me going. I have learned a lot this year, and have been through a lot...but I'm grateful for all the good moments, actually I'm grateful for every moment, whether good or bad. I know myself a little better, and know what I can handle a little more than I used to know. This is what life is about. You are given trials to learn. You are only given what you can handle. You just have to take it all one step at a time. Hope you all have a great week, and for those who are getting out of school this week like me...YAY! Now...onto those quotes!!!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Thought I would do another post on friends. I love my friends, and they are amazing! I seriously would be lost without them. Sorry I haven't kept up on my blog, but with the end of the school year, it's been crazy! I hope you all are doing great. I have a HUGE thing coming up. My school is doing One Acts for drama, and I had to try out cuz I want to skip to Drama 3 even though I haven't taken Drama 2. So, the drama teacher wanted me to do One Acts to see if I can be in Drama 3. So wish me luck on that, I'll be preforming my One Act next week. Also, I have Morp this Saturday, which I'm really excited for. The theme is Opposites Attract and me and my date possibly are going to go as Love/Hate. But we aren't positive. Also this week is my dad's birthday. He died back when I was 5, and I miss him. But my family always celebrates his birthday by sending balloons with little messages on them. I'm excited for that. :) So anyways, back to what this post is about...friends. They are amazing. Everybody needs a friend. So hope you find a quote that you like.

Tears, fears and yester years

It's funny how life turns out. Life can be so amazing, but it can also really suck. Lately I've had a lot of things going on in life that have made my life great, and people have made me feel great, but there has been quite a few tears this past month. I've been having the time of my life this week though. So, it's getting better. It's just a little hard, and I feel so helpless. Thankfully I have amazing friends who have been there for me every day this month. I have no idea how I would function if it wasn't for my friends. They have helped me through the tears, my fears, and throughout the years. They all mean so much to me. I may cry, and things may go wrong but they will help me face my fears and make me feel better. So here are some quotes that I like, they don't necessarily have to do with friends, but they have to do with everything in my life at this moment. I really hope you don't mind if I repeat some. Haha, but I hope you find some you like. :)

"Everything in life is temporary. So, if things are going good, enjoy it because it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry, it can't last forever either." -Unknown

"I tried to be your friend when no one else would, but you abandoned me when I needed a friend. I kept all your secrets, but you gave mine away. I loved you with unconditional love, but your love was conditional. I tried to believe you, but you told too many lies. I wanted to trust you, but you proved I couldn't.

"I say stupid things at times, I fall up the stairs, my best friends are my bet and my pillow, I'm way too obsessed with quotes, I cry too often, I laugh at others pain no matter how much it hurts them. I hate but love being the middle child, I wear heels whenever I can get away with it. In fact I practically only own heels. I make mistakes. I'm in love with my best friend. I act, I sing, I dance. I'm not perfect, but this is me. This is who I am." -Alissa Lopez

"You never get used to the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again." -Unknown

Oh life....haha

Hey, sorry it's been so long. I've been super busy. There's been a lot of things going on lately and I've just been having a hard time lately, but at the same time I feel like life couldn't be any better. There are those moments that make you realize why life is so precious. There are the people who make you realize life is worth it, and I'm worth it. Then there are those who tear us down and will do anything to make us feel worthless and upset. Lately I've been going through being torn to pieces more than being put back together and it's been a little difficult. So, here are just some random quotes that go along with my life at the moment. Some of these I may have posted before, but they go on with my life, so I'll post them again. :) A lot of them have to do with friends. So I hope that's okay. Anyways, hope you find some you like.
