National Dance Day

Happy National Dance Day 2010! This day is important to me because it celebrates the sport that let me find my voice again and to break out of my shell.Academy of Dance is where it all started in the 7th grade...then I went to PlanetDance(PD U KNOW! KEEP IT FIERCE) and since then I have forever changed..although it was just for a summer,they became a second family,and the studio..a home.Then I went back to Dance Workshop for a semester..and had my best friend Molly in my ballet class...and then the medical problems made me put that passion on hold for awhile.When I returned for my junior year..Molly had passed away and those girls,other than Katherine and Shay..were really really mean to me and I just didn't find joy in going to class anymore.Ive been back to PlanetDance since that first summer and I can really say,they are the best thing(dance wise) that has ever happend to me.I LOVE PD! Shout out to that studio that helped me find the joy again!
Day:
1.sister is now gone
2.mailed Erika her first penpal letter :)

Some of the PD ladies.(below is jiggg teaching us hiphop for a summer class!)

on a side note :Elena got her first teeth!!!!!

American Honey

Lisa Scinta was supposed to do her live Ustream concert today at 4 but she moved it until tmrw instead and promised it would be extra long.Her new cover American Honey is my new favorite song!
She grew up on a side of the road
Where the church bells ring and strong love grows
She grew up good
She grew up slow
Like American honey

Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get goin'
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American honey

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Get caught in the race
Of this crazy life
Trying to be everything can make you lose your mind
I just wanna go back in time
To American honey, yea

There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothing's sweeter than summer time
And American honey

Gone for so long now
I gotta get back to her somehow
To American honey

Ooh There's a wild, wild whisper
Blowing in the wind
Calling out my name like a long lost friend
Oh I miss those days as the years go by
Oh nothin's sweeter than summer time
And American honey
And American honey

Tomorrow my sister flys back so we are spending the night at the Reno house.Still have to write my penpal a letter! hopefully I will find the time to do that tonight! :)

Soak Up The Sun

Instead of river rafting we went up to Tahoe by Emerald Bay and took lots of pictures.There was seriously a group of 35 people trying to fit into one picture! the traffic was ridiculous!so we parked on this really really steep hill which made me think that the car could flip over at any given second.Then we went to Tootsies in Tahoe CIty and got really yummy fro yo(ahaha frozen yogurt) Mine was Swirl chocolate and vanilla and had choco chips,non parallels,and m and ms on it!(Pictured below).Then Tracy suggested Squaw Valley and Frank made the magic happen and we got up there for FREE! We took pics on the gondola on the way up and about 350 pics or more up there and throughout the course of the day.Up there we went Swimming...first time in AGES! and it felt good and relaxing to be in the water,I forgot how much I loved it..and it felt even more like Molly was there swimming with me.(I haven't gone swimming since before she passed away) It felt like healing.And we also went in the hottub.This little girl splashed my camera,but lucky it didnt break!.It closed at 7:30 so unfortunately we didn't get to spend to long up there.But man oh man does Tahoe have some cute guys!!! ;)...anyway..fave quotes of the day are ..from a little boy on the way down "is this an elevator? its so big!" ..and woman on the way up..."how many megapixels is yours?..14..SHUT UP!!! mines 7" aha such a great day..way better..in my opinion..than rafting down a river!

Oo So I Got Burnt

ahah when I first typed this title it said I got BURT ahahah...anyways..it is taking me forever already to type this since it seems to want to type different words than what I really want to say.Today around 3:30 we drove up to Tahoe and Tracy and Jeff and Frank went Jet-skiing while mom and I sat on the beach and ate chips and guacamole and read and listened to music...I saw a total of 3 gorgeeeeoussss guys today! ;) ..and then we took pics and went to the Hard Rock Cafe where I had the pleasure of enjoying a delicious Cobb Salad with Avacado,Cheese,Tomato,egg...yummmm! :) Such a good day...even though I thought I got all of my back that showed from the tube top like dress I was wearing ..and now my back is a bit on the toasty side :(.The price one pays for a day in the sun!!

Terrific Tuesday

My mom and I went to Famous foot locker and I got 2 sneakers,1 cheetah print flat,and Grey boots that are SUUUPPPERR CONMFY!(pictured on this page) When we were there we ran into Aaron...Jaime Skilling's boyfriend who danced in the recital this year...he is nice and seems perfect with Jaime since she is probably the nicest person I know!!Then we went to Costco where I got a new backpack and mom ran into her friend Kelly.We also got tons of good food!I am going to go veg on the couch now.Peace.OHHH and I got my first letter from my penpal Erika in Pennsylvania! :)

Monday Magic

Its Monday at kast..wow never thought I would use those words.Time to watch some of my fave shows and Ghosts of Girlfriends past..That 2 hour nap I just took was SOO needed after being woken up at 9:20.So the day went as dully as I expected.Ate some eggs in Reno..watched the rest of Drop Dead Diva..then we drove to Gville..where I took the previously mentioned nap.Then watched old episodes of Pretty Little Liars and a Wedding show..then most of Secret Life before it stupidly got caught off so it could record Degrassi...I AM SO UPSET! and Degrassi hasn't even been that good this season except for the Fiona stuff...I think they are running out of stuff to cover after 11 seasons!I will have to watch my monday shows(Secret Life and Huge) tommorow online.We probably aren't going to do a family movie tonight since Jeff and Tracy are out.So magical day? no.. not really..more of relaxing..and sleeping..considering I just took another nap as I found myself falling asleep while watching Diners Driveins and Dives.

Rain Rain Please Stay

So today Mom and I are going to Reno to hang with Tracy,Jeff and Frank at the Reno house...borinnnggg! no internet there! looks like a day of lounging around..maybe looking/getting my new converse downtown and then to Truckee or Tahoe for dinner.

Okay so I was half right.No new converse..but it was lounging.I watched The Client List with my mom while Tracy and Jeff went for a ride in the Camero...Then we all headed up to Tahoe to "The Big Water Grille" for a fine dining experience.The portions were so tiny..but everything was really good and the sunset over the lake view was incredible.Such a pricey restaurant though! I enjoyed tomato salad with mozzerella and squash blossom and wild mushroom rissoto(I picked out all the mushrooms..it had tomatoes,green beans,and corn in it too though) I felt sick after so we all didn't get desert and Frank and Tracy and Jeff all stopped at Sonic and then we all sat outside of the Reno house and gazed upon the moon and then we watched random shows and The Lucky ones..and then we slept..uncomfortably.

Surrogates Are Creepy

So as a family..and Jeff tonight we watched Old Dogs and some Surrogates..aka the most freaking creepy movie I have ever seen.

several hours earlier...
As we were leaving our driveway there was an incredible rainbow that could only be the masterpiece of an angel..Thanks Molly :)

Oh So Yoda's A Dog

Today I woke up at 12:30 and got ready.Then Jeff,Tracy and I went to go pick up Ryan(whom after spending the whole day with has gotten on my last nerves).Then we went to Arties dad's house and said hi to him and hung out there with Tracy,Jeff,Ryan,Sam(Arties girlfriend who danced at the Academy of Dance Arts) for about an hour.Then we all headed to Arbys for some food,I had a strawberry yogurt before I left home so I just had a few of my sisters curly fries...that made me sick :(..luckily not for very long.We were off on our way now up Kingsbury Grade in the sweltering heat and windows rolled down since Jeff's truck doesn't have AC.It was 10 degrees cooler in Tahoe but it was still 85.At Mont Bleu we walked around the Arts and Crafts fair that was going on for the weekend..there was a really pretty emerald heart with diamonds around it necklace..looked more than I could afford..we all got these really cool things called Water Beads.Then we walked around Heavenly stores and into Raleys where Artie bought alcohol and Tracy and I hula hooped and took pics.Then we walked around and took more pictures near the water fountain(no not the one that you drink out of!) where I ran into Shawna,Rosie,Adri and some other people that I knew.Weird freaking timing! We had Adri take a group shot of all of us in front of the fountain.Then we went into the Heavenly cinema and watched Inception.SUCH A GOOD MOVIE.The theater was small so we only really had the whole front row available by the time we got there since we had such a large group.Luckily Tracy,Jeff and I sat higher up with just us 3.We enjoyed the movie for a whopping 2 and a half hours.After which we walked around more of Heavenly and enjoyed the nice weather and live music acts..and were bitten by mosquitoes.By then it was 9:30 ish so we headed back to Minden and ate at McDonald's..I had a small strawberry banana shake..it was good.We were the only ones eating there since it was so late.There were some INTERESTING conversations going on to say the least.(hence the title of this blog being one of them)Outside as we walked to the car we were attacked by mosquitoes!Probably will have some bites in the morning!..on the plus side I don't think I got sunburned!..then we dropped Ryan off and we drove home.The End.I am so tired from this day..it was so long and exhausting..and Ryan smoked at least 7 ciggs! gross! and he spits and is rude and well I don't like him much.

Glitter In The Air

Today was a great day with my mommy.:).We drove up to Reno to pick up a part for Frank..then we got Dairy Queen(I got a reeses blizzard!) it was very tasty!Then we went to look around Dillards but nothing was that cute or a must buy and things were all very pricey so we left and headed back home to the ville.We discussed our vacation plans and its probably going to be Oregon to see the waterfalls or Vegas or Cali to see the ocean..fingers crossed that it isn't Cali..as much as I love the beach,I want to see someplace new!!When I got back I watched Remember Me with my sister and Jeff..such a good movie with SUCH an unexpected ending..SO SAD!!! :(.Had to know it would be a good movie with Robert Pattinson in it though!So my titles for blogs might start to seem a little random..the reason for this one ..On our car ride..Glitter In the Air by Pink came on and it was a pretty good song...I thought the name of it sounded beautiful..and since it was..well..a beautiful day and all..it works :).Well my sis and Jeff left to go play Poker..again.I think I am going to go watch Hell's Kitchen with the fam.

Drama Shows

So I got to watch last nights episode of Pretty Little Liars online today...AMAZING.It gives you the relief of knowing that Emily isn't dead..but it clues you in that Toby is.Jenna seems a bit less creepy in this one..and Ezra is gone :(.I also watched Make It or Break it(last nights episode) and can sense that Kaylie Cruz is developing an eating disorder and over exercising to loose the 10 pounds to match the weight of the Chinese gymnast Genji Chow.From the looks of the previews for next weeks episode,Kaylie's problem will become apparent to Emily(hopefully her coach as well) and they will talk about it..hence Emily's words "can I be real with you."I think it is the twist the show needed.It is a real serious issue among gymnasts and dancers.It needs to be talked about.
I was going to go watch the part 2 episode of the whole Degrassi Fiona abuse drama..but people are home and don't have full access to the tv anymore.sigh.Last night I stayed up till 3 and watched Hope Floats and Bounty Hunter with Jeff and Tracy...and slept till 1:40..suprise that I am still tired!.
Today is Alysha's aka my lyrical dance teacher/hiphop teachers BIRTHDAY!.
HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY ALYSHA MANKE!!!..and so the countdown begins..lol ;)

Right On Track

So yesterday my stepdad brought me home the most AMAZING present EVER from the drag races in Sonoma California that he went to over the weekend....A SIGNED drag racing Erica Enders shirt signed by the one and only...ERICA ENDERS! aka...my FAVORITE drag racer EVER!!! :) what a great suprise!I loved her and her story ever since the Disney Movie Right On Track premiered in 2003...I was 10!..7 years later and I am still inspired and watch drag racing whenever it is on with my family.

PS:I watched the "there's no place like homecoming" episode of pretty little liars and I REALLY want Hannas dress for homecoming..too bad it is really pricey..and too bad I can only find it in pink.(I like Arias dress a lot but its a little to much "dark" for my personality.)I just love everything about this outfit,the dress,hair,necklace! I would so be rocking homecoming if I had this dress! hmm..decisions decisions!Sissys Song by Alan Jackson:(miss you so much Molls!)
Halie quoted some of this song tonight on facebook..and it made me look it up..really does seem like Mollys message to us :)

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me

I Suck At Wii Golf

So I didn't get the chance to update yesterday..it was SO BUSY.I woke up at my usual 1:30 pm time and watched my sister and Jeff play a couple rounds of Wii bowling..then we played wii golf for 2 hours.I lost with a score of 52..most holes made me "give up" once I was past hitting it 12 times!Then I got them both hooked on the show pretty little liars.Then we ate dinner and went to go see Despicable Me with all of us and Ryan.It was such a cute movie!.ITS SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE. lol then in the car Ryan told us music is bad today and how no one cares about chap-stick in your pocket and how black guys talk about "slapping a bitch hoe" all the time.It was around 12 when we got home..so I watched 2 episodes of Criminal Minds with mommy while sister slept.Tonight we had Chinese food and my fortune said"The current year will bring you much happiness"-yay! senior year is lucky already!Today we watched more pretty little liars,secret life,degrassi,and huge.Today was basically tv show day.But it has been fun so far :)

Nugget Fist Pump

Sister is home :)
My mom and I left to go get my sister at the airport..the whole way thinking we had a flat and wishing we could make it there..it was just our imagination.We think.When we got Tracy she "fist pumped" my hand saying Nugget...then she asked if I have heard it called that before..uh NO that was so random.Then I went home and watched Lie to Me and Criminal Minds with my mom until 1:40ish...then I went to bed at 3 and slept until 1:30 :).

Sister Sister

So tomorrow is the big day!!! finally! my sister will be flying in from Michigan at 8pm...but unfortunately she has a party to go to that very night and I won't get to spend time with her right away :(. I haven't seen her since spring break...now THAT was an experience.(PS:note that in this picture I am rocking my Carrie Underwood 2008 tour shirt :) ) speaking of that..Congrats goes out to Carrie Underwood and Matt Fisher as they are now married!I was really bummed to wake up this morning all bubbly and excited about Degrassi the Boiling point starting tonight.(degrassi MAKES my Fridays) to find out that I have to wait another 3 whole days to watch the 2 hour premier :(.This SUCKS.It has never been on a Monday before,and they say its now every week night at 9? wont that make the season shorter?I sure hope not!

Smile For The Camera

TNT photography did a great job on my friends photo shoot at Sand Harbor.(left to right :Victoria,Lauren,and Vicki)These girls deserve a spot on my blog for many reasons.Lauren has only been my friend since the beginning of junior year..freaking LOVED having her in my Astronomy class..her and Katie actually made it bearable among the idiots.When she left in January,I felt very lonely.I had no one to hang out with.Not a fun time.That is when I ran into Vicki and Victoria..they welcomed me to hang out at there lunch spot everyday,and I was no longer alone.Car trip with Victoria and Lo to go get gas was so hilarious!! and when Vicki didn't open the doors for all those people who were locked out!ahah priceless!.These girls define good people and great times.
***Lauren Eissinger is an amazing friend and I don't know where I would be without her.She draws me pictures of volleyballs and monkeys named Whambo and I just love her to pieces.She is kind,compassionate,understanding and never judges.Everyone needs a friend like Lauren in there lives.When I hang out with Lo I always feel happy and forget about whatever is bothering me.I never want to loose her as a friend,but I know that will never happen.She always has my back and will never let me down.(Hopefully we are still going to be Walking partners at grad!!! this year).***
On a side note:I really want to have my senior pictures done by TNT photography now.Christi Tolbert is AMAZING! I just can't decide who I want in them with me or where.$200 is pricey,especially with trying to save for college expenses in the years to come..man I really need a job.(Either Lauren Eissinger,Katherine Crowe,or Sarah Joy are probably going to do it with me..they are my closest and best friends and have done so much for me just by always being there for me).Katherine will be going away to college,and busy with the Miss Douglas County lifestyle..so this might be a nice idea..plus I really wanted to incorporate dance into my shoot(dance on the beach OHHH YEAHH) with my pointe shoes..and since we are both dancers..I thought that would be special since it is a passion we both share and hold dear to our hearts.
But then again:I think it would be fun having a shoot with my actual sister while she is down here :).(but it starts to add up $800 I don' think so buddy!) Looks like I am going to have to make a decision..it is a bummer they aren't all friends so I could just do one shoot!) and am going to have to find cute outfits! lol might just have to have "non-professional shoots" ;)

Homecoming dresses I am thinking of for the fall homecoming:I like both..the first one has more "fall/autumn" colors though.

Cost Of A Life

So I find it really hard not to be upset when watching Whale Wars and realizing people actually have to stop Japan from killing one of the most magical and gracious inspirational creatures on this Earth..the whale.The fact that these so-called "researchers" are only using them for research is total bull.When in fact they are capturing far to many and using them for meat and oil and killing them with harpoons.This action is so unjust it makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about it.I have never seen a whale outside of Sea World..but they belong free in the wild.That is where they were put on this Earth to be and that is where they should stay.If Japan keeps killing at this rate (think they said 1000 per year/12 a day) then my kids will grow up not only not ever being able to see a polar bear..but whales will also be non-existent.What will it take to finally stop the hate in the world?People and animals?..Answer me this:Does anything or anyone's life really have a cost that you would kill them in order to receive the pay?I KNOW it sure as hell does not.This picture speaks for itself.

Unhealthy Obsession?

So I just got done watching some intense episodes of Criminal Minds with my mom.Yay JJ is pregnant! lol I think its a tie with her,Reid,and Garcia being my favorites.Recap of last night,The secret life-I am so glad Adrian is having the baby!..wonder how Amy is going to find out..and if she will finally leave Ben for good!..Make It or break it-AMAZING gymnastics performed on tonight's show as the girls competed guys gymnastics and vice versa.Wow I am far to obsessed with tv..these shows in particular..kind of sad that it is summer and my biggest news of the day is tv related.My sister comes home on Saturday for about 2 weeks.That should be fun,Shopping..beach..movie..rave?(still not sure I want to go..and I would go SOBER just FYI not into drugs of any kind).But there's no doubt in my mind that it will go just like the last time she was here..busy with Jeff..who is kinda odd to be around..cant describe it..though Ive known him for many years.My sister is leaving Michigan State(which in my opinion is stupid as hell but hey its her life..just if I started making my GPA as good as hers I could go to that school..I really wish my grades were good enough in the beginning :( )My 3.5 GPA this semester doesn't make it.So yea she is moving in with Jeff in New Mexico..the middle of freaking nowhere.Lisa Scinta might have another show on August 28 at the House Of Blues in vegas..but its after school starts so I will have to miss it..again :(.Mom and I are going to take a road trip one of these days this summer..not sure where yet.(Pictured above is Lisa Scinta herself rocking the new merch..comes out this week!! can't wait to get mine)

Heaven Is Calling

This picture was taken in the summer of '07 and it is the only one I could find at the moment.These are my Nanny's(grandma) 2 dogs.On the left is my favorite Sampson(I love using him as a giant pillow) and on the right is Kate.Around 7pm tonight EST,Sampson was put down because of how sick he was and his old age.It is hard,although I live on the opposite side of the country...they were apart of the family my whole life and having one gone leaves a feeling of emptiness.I know up in Heaven he is running free,free of sickness,and playing fetch with his new friend Molly :0) .Knowing that he is with her makes me feel a lot less sad about him moving on.I still am going to miss him though..but I know we will see each other again someday.This blog will be short today,have to go call my grandma and try to make her feel a little better...those dogs are everything to her!

They Are Not You

"I thought I knew you,but I guess its easier to see what we want until we are looking for the truth. You think you know me, but you don’t and that means you don’t know what I can do. You see me as someone who’s not popular and has no answers, but that’s not true I may not always know what I’m doing but I’ll try to make things better and when I make a mistake.. lets face it we all do, I promise I’ll ask for your help I cant do this alone, and if you'll take the chance on me, we can do great things together.I promise if u believe in me I’ll find the courage to reach for your every dream."
Hi everyone,I am Ally.I am 17 and going into my senior year of high school.I am ALWAYS wearing my "A Smile To Remember Molly Rae Lahlum" bracelet.I am Awkward.Blond. A Loner.And I HATE labels.So you think you know who I am..you don't know me at all.Hopefully through this blog,overtime,you will somewhat be able to grasp it.I myself don't even understand me fully.This quote was from One Tree Hill in an episode where Brooke was running for president.I changed a few words..but it spoke to me because every one has a certain image of her,and doesn't know what else she is capable of doing. I have a big heart and big dreams.Nothing will stop me from achieving them.I want to be an english teacher and hope that I can inspire in others,the inspiration I get every day from changing their lives.

One of my biggest goals is to donate to Locks of love

I want to give back..no change that to I WILL Give back

Child Abuse Prevention (I want to open up a foster home and give kids a loving home)
Leukemia Awareness(I want to donate money to support research)
Haiti Relief(or causes like Haiti..I want to donate time,and money and supplies to help get some of what they lost back)
TWLOHA(means so much to me)
I love to write,and this year it really hit me that through my writing,I might be able to change a life.In english class Miguelio was reading my paper ..and it was dead quiet in the room..then he said "DANGGG who wrote this its amazing!"..Turns out it was my paper :)" you should be a writer"..melted my heart..thats what ive always wanted..then my english teacher said it on one of the last days of my junior year.I had found my gift..my calling.


ahah so knowing my obsession with liking things on facebook..I came across this one (And then God created Saturn..and he liked it..so he put a ring on it) :)Today I was lucky and my friend Lisa Scinta has another UStream concert! Check out her on youtube and myspace and facebook! you WON'T be sorry you did!!!

****This is a pretty long post so far,sorry...just one more thing to add to it for the day.I came up with the idea to have "A Smile To Remember Molly Rae Lahlum Graduation" by adding blue,yellow and pink tassels to our graduation caps this year.I've talked to Rose and Halie and they most likely will be running it through the Leadership program to get the most people involved in the plan.C style(salt and pepper) with Amer beauty,goldenrod and turquoise most likely..to match the Molly bracelets.:) Let me know what you think of the idea.****

The Farther You Run

"You can find the good in anybody if you just give them a chance, benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people disappoint you, sometimes they surprise you, but you never really get to know them until you listen for what's in their heart. that's what we should do. so for all you skeptics out there. prepare to be surprised"

As I look through a list of one tree hill quotes,listening to Lisa Scinta covers and Kate Voegle "Manhattan from the sky",inspiration struck me.So naturally,I had to write about it.So there is this person..and I have always thought of her as a attention seeker and a liar and just an all around not good hearted individual.For you to know why,you would need to know the back story.So Ill tell you.I will leave names out of it for privacy reasons.In Math class this girl would talk bad about me and how fat I am,how bad I am at dance,and she would say it and I could hear it from across the room,and she would say it standing next to me.It was around February.February was a really tough month for me in general without having to deal with her,usually I could take it.Not going to lie it hurt.a lot.I realized she was just jealous that I got into a certain dance class when it took her a lot longer.She thought herself better..I see everyone as equals..and everyone brings something different to the table.She lied about being pregnant to everyone at school,and I was told she scratches her arm and shows people..just to get attention.
That is what bothered me the most.When someone harms themselves,they usually are ashamed of it and keep it a secret from everyone...showing it off seems almost wrong.With the friends I have known who have done this in the past,there are other ways to get the help you need if you are really that upset.I took it as a message.Maybe I was meant to befriend her or help her.I don't really know her.I don't know her likes...her dislikes..or whats in her heart.But I do know I deserve to give her a second chance..maybe shes changed..maybe I am the one that needed to change..but I know the judgment has gotten us nowhere and life is far to short to live hating one another.



I love when it is raining and the sun shines through.(Taken on July 9,2010 NV)

The Ticking Of The Clock

Britts Baby girl Cassidy Lynn born January 22,2010

Daniele's baby Keegan Christopher Born November 3,2009

Sarah's baby Elena born October 22,2009

Maddie's baby Desmond Charlie..Born November 8,2009

So this is my first blog.The whole journaling thing I started in 9th grade has come to a standstill.I figured since internet has taken over,I am more likely to update often on this.Today is just another summers day.I am sitting here listening to the rain pouring down outside my window.July 9th...It has been practically 7 months since the miracles Keegan and Desmond were brought into this world..oh where has the time gone.With Elena it has been 8! and Cassidy it has been 4! and I have yet to see them.One of the downsides of not havign access to a car 24/7 lol.I looked at my friend Marys wall/countdown to when the baby gets here and its only 31 days away! On August 9,2010 Katie Rose will be born into this world.Ahh the miracle of life.I am so proud of my friends who have had babys this year.It is so hard being a parent,especially at such a young age.I cant wait to see them grow up to be even half as awesome as you all,and I know you will continue to be amazing parents and friends.

One of my best friends Katherine Crowe competed on July 3 in the Miss Nevada 2010 pagent...Although she did not win,she continues to be a role model as Miss Douglas County and premote her platform..Dancing with Disabilitys...Christina Keegan served a great year as Miss Nevada 2009..she is now free! time to party!:)
Its hard when I think about how fast this year has gone by.So many of my friends are going off to college now..and as I stared out into the empty seats after graduation..I realized that the legacy is in our hands to continue...Class of 2011 bring IT ON! :) Wherever the path may take you,dont forget to enjoy the journey along the way,I know our paths will cross again soon.

Today Tay Olsen had surgery on her brain in California..please keep her in your hearts and prayers as we hope for a great recovery and finally being healed!-Tay your bright smile is such a joy to see everyday at school in the halls..your a fighter..and I just know you will pull through this with a smile :) Dont forget how much you mean to us!!!

Well I don't have much else to say for now.I am going to go watch movies and play frontierville..ahah I know..lame for it being summer and all.Might even write or scrapbook later.

ps:I need a new wardrobe for senior year..I am tired of everything I own :/
