My Year in Photos

These are some of my favorite photo memories from 2010!

Sorry for all the pictures..... But I was having too much fun! What a great year.... (:

Resolutions!

This year I'm going to write down my resolutions. Maybe they will be more likely to happen that way.
In 2011, I'm going to:
♥ Finish personal progress. I have 2 values left and I'm going to finish soon. Then I'll start working on my honor bee.
♥ Get straight 4.0's. Hopefully.
♥ Make new friends. I love making new friends!
♥ Make more of an effort to keep my room looking nice. It shouldn't be hard to clean it if I do it every day.
♥ Try to be more aware of other people and their needs and help them if I can.
♥ Give more compliments! I love making people smile.
♥ Read. I just plain and simply need to read more often.

What are your resolutions?

The Best of 2010!

Wow. I can't believe it's been another year already. Feels like I was just writing my best of 2009 post last week! Anyways, 2010 has been quite an incredible year for me. These are my top 10 memories of 2010.

1) Started high school at Syracuse High. It's been going incredible. I like it so much better than junior high. First term I got a 4.0 and I hope to keep it that way.

2) Finished ninth grade with straight 4.0's! I was very proud of that accomplishment and glad to be out of Syracuse Junior!

3) I got to go visit Erin in California!! It was SUCH an amazing time! I've missed her sooo much and I can't wait for our jumelle reunion 2011. (:

4) The Miss Syracuse Pageant 2010 - I got to emcee! What a blast that was! Being part of the pageant, but not as a contestant was way fun - and completely not stressful. (:

5) Turned 15!! Had a super fun birthday party and I just adore my friends. (:

6) Moved downstairs into my brand new room! It's so nice having my own space and I completely love it.

7) Got an iTouch. It's incredible. I absolutely LOVE it.

8) Went to a recording studio to record my farewell speech. This makes the top ten because it's always been a dream of mine to record something! You know wearing the headphones, using the big microphones... ahhhhh.... (:

9) Going to La Caille! I love that resturant and the opportunity to go there only comes every so often. I'm really sad because that will be my last time going there. La Caille was sold and now will no longer be La Caille.

10) Went to Orlando, Florida on vacation. Time of my life!! I hope I can go back someday!!

8 Questions Tag

1. Light or dark?
I like it to be dark outside, I'm a night person.
2. Brag about one thing you LOVE about yourself.
Well, one thing I love about myself is my talent to play the piano. I've been playing for about 9 years now. It makes me happy and it's helped me so much in pageants and things. I hope I continue to get better!
3. What is your favorite picture you've ever taken?
I've showed this picture on my blog many times before so I'm sorry! But I took it using the yearbook camera which was a nice one and until now, I've never had my own to take more pictures with. So here it is. Sorry if you're sick of it! But I absolutely love it. It's completely my personality.

4. Where is your favorite place to shop?

I love shopping period! For clothes, I like Rue 21 and Forever 21 though. They have unique styles that I just love. (I vote they add a Forever 21 to the Layton Hills Mall. Please?!)

5. What is your favorite flower?

A rose. There's absolutely no competition there! I love every color rose besides pink. (Which is sort of weird considering pink is my favorite color!)

6. Could you please introduce your family?

Sure!

This would be my family. My parents are Shane and Lauren. They're pretty much awesome. (:

This is my 12 year old brother Isaac. Enjoys video games and guns. Voted most likely to be America's next top comedian.

This is my 9 year old sister Aubrey. Enjoys drawing, stuffed animals, and playing with her friends. Voted most likely to become a model, taking after her older sister of course. (;

This is my 7 year old sister Whitnie. Enjoys reading, playing piano, and laughing about the most ridiculous things. Voted most likely to do whatever she wants in life.

And this is my 5 year old dog Levi. Enjoys eating, playing, and... more eating. Voted most likely to win any type of eating competition.

That's my family!

7. Why do you blog?

Basically,  I blog because I love it. I love having somewhere I can go to write everything down. It's a good, fun, very cute way of journaling, I love going back and reading posts about things I have done. And because I like to share what's going on in my life with other people who care to read.

8. If you could be any age right now, what would it be?

I'm tempted to say 5 because life was so simple. But I'd probably just choose to be 17. Sounds like a good time of life where you have a lot of independance but less responsibilities than you will have as an adult. It's the short period of life where you're on your own with no one to worry about except yourself and I plan on enjoying it while it lasts.

Thanks Madi! That was fun.
