Cleaning..

So for about the past three days, I have spent my precious time doing something that desperately need to be done. I cleaned my room. Now, the reason why I decided to clean my room was because for about the past 4 months I've been sleeping in the living room on the couch. I've realized that I needed to start getting to bed earlier which wasn't working because I was up all night on the computer or I was watching T.V. So I knuckled down and got it done. But like I've told my mom, I'm not the type of person who can just pick up the clothes off the floor. I have to do all the laundry, clean out all the stuff that's piled up, reorganize the closet, clean out my drawers, vacuum, dust, etc. So I finally got it done.. and I've put up some pictures of the finished project. Let's just say that I'm definitely proud of this accomplishment, and I always forget how dang comfy my bed is!

And the picture that I took of the block saying, I made sure was the focal point on my window seal because it's something that I think will help me get through the day!  :)

Contemplating

I don't know about you, but have you ever had that feeling that you don't know what to do in life. That so many things come at you at once and you feel like you're catching a hundred softballs with just one mitt? Well, that's kind of how I feel right now. For the most part I have a pretty relaxed lifestyle, but in all reality I should be figuring out what I'm going to do with my life. I'm out of high school now and I'm supposed to be having a real life now. I found out that my counselor at the high school was wrong the whole time about a math class I had to take, which put me behind in applying for the colleges I actually wanted to go to. This might not be making sense.. but it does in my mind. I guess the whole procrastination thing has finally caught up with me and is totally biting me. I'll get it figured out.. but until then I'll, like Dory (from Finding Nemo) says.. "Just Keep Swimming" :)

Miss Idaho..

So, as I said before, I went to Miss Idaho and guess what... I WON!! Ok.. so I didn't even make top ten.. but hey, I can totally say I'm friends with Miss Idaho. It was so awesome. I've never meant so many awesome girls at one time. All of them were so talented and amazing, and I wish I could have taken them all home with me. 

And once again, I just want to say thank you for everyone that was rooting for me. Evidently there are other plans in store for my life, and I'm ready to take on the challenges. 

(By the way, the  beautiful blonde that looks flawless is the one that won!)

Happy Birthday Mom!

Well today is my mom's birthday, and let's just say it's been a good morning. We woke up and played tennis. Now if any of you know us and tennis, let's just say that it's not the most coordinated game you'll ever see.. I think we get more exercise going and getting the balls that have gone off the court then the one's we hit back and fourth. 

But I just want to say that there is no other woman better than my mom. She puts so much time and effort into her family. She will drop everything she's doing and help out. She has helped me so much with this pageant. There's no way I could have done this without her, she's spent so much money and time on me in the last couple months that I have no idea how I'll ever be able to make it up to her. I guess the only thing I can do right now is let her know how much I appreciate her. 

I love you mom!

New Start

This is the beginning of my new blog. I figured I'm out of high school now, so maybe I need to change some things up. The first thing I wanted to do was start a blog. That way people can see what's going on with me. I always enjoy reading my sister's blog, and so I thought, well maybe people will enjoy mine. I definitely will not have the high quality pictures she does, but hey, we can't all be photographers right?

Anyways, just to catch people up on my life, I just recently graduated from high school, and now I'm off to bigger things. I will be competing at Miss Idaho this next week, so we'll see what happens with that. I have a feeling I'll have a reality check of what this world really is like, (The Pageant World).

I hope everything works out, and if I don't win, then my first stop home will be to Coldstone Creamery!!
