Whirling

I was recently thinking about the fact that my life seems to be whirling by without me noticing it. I can't seem to cherish and fully take into consideration all of the circumstances that I have been through in my short life. Just look at us. We were so young, and such great friends. We still are, but it is just baffling to think of the great amount of time that has simply slid by without us realizing it. I was in seventh grade, Lynnlee in sixth in that picture. The picture where I'm a pirate is this past February in our pirate show. We've learned so many things in the four years that have passed. I love Lynnlee so much and I hope that we always stay close, no matter the distance.

Well look who it is! It's Madison and I. This was in seventh grade, and it's crazy to think how close we are now. We never knew how close we would be at that time. I wouldn't be the person I was without her influence. We constantly make each other laugh and have fun together. It's how a real friendship should be, and it's so special.

Make sure to notice life. It goes so fast. I've always dreamed of being "old" and being able to drive. Now it's real. Cherish the memories!

Finding Beautiful Things

So it was Labor Day. Madison had stayed over from the night before, and we wanted to do something. So we drove. If you're reading this and you live in Broken Arrow, we drove all the way down 61st until it ends and turns into 71st. Then we drove some more. To places of Oklahoma I had never really seen, and by seen I don't mean simply looked at. I've lived in Oklahoma all my life, and never thought there was anything beautiful here. It was just "Oklahoma." Hot. Dry. Flat. All of those things are true, but I truly believe if you look hard enough you can find something beautiful anywhere at all. God's world is perfect and beautiful, all of it. So take time to acknowledge the beauty surrounding you, wherever you may be. I know you can find it if you just look.

Some Embarrassing Things.

I started school. I like school. I want to go home from school. But I thought that I should share a few embarrassing things that have occurred recently.

-I went to the wrong lunch (first lunch) on the first day of school. I go into my fourth hour class realizing they have third lunch. How uncomfortable... So I just ditched basically, but not on purpose! My third hour teacher accidentally told us wrong. Just a misunderstanding, but quite embarrassing.

-I have an unhealthy obsession with the show Pretty Little Liars. That, in itself qualifies as embarrassing. But you know what's even more embarrassing? The fact that I bawled while watching the season finale. Not just a few rolling tears, no, I cried. Sobbed. And it was really pathetic. I can't even believe that I'm putting it on a social media site. Oh gosh. 

-As I was leaving the High School parking lot, I accidentally went in reverse instead of forward... I didn't go very far, but I went far enough for people to notice and chuckle at me. Including Madison. 

Honestly there are many more experiences that happened, but frankly I just can't recall all of them. This will have to be sufficient. Enjoy your day, I hope to post more frequently!
