Homecoming.

DAD'S HOME! Finally! And my grandparents are here as well (surprise). Anyways I was getting teary-eyed when he first held Nolan. I'm so happy. It's good to have him back. We forgot how cheesy he is, but somehow we can't seem to live without it. The time went by really fast. And now we await to see if we'll be moving or not. I'm not sure if I really want to move. But that's the military life, right?

Other news:

My prom dress came in today and unfortunately it does NOT fit me. The bust is too small, and it's really upsetting because that dress is absolutely beautiful. So tomorrow me, my grandma, and my mom are going to go out and find another prom dress. Since prom is April 4th, there's no way my dress will be in and altered in time. I've also decided to get back in shape. It's really depressing not having things fit you the way they should or not being able to wear something because your a little pudgy in certain areas. My dad asked me if I want him to make an exercise routine... I'm really considering it. I have beach weather coming up, so it's best to get in shape now! My weight fluctuates from 130-135, but I'm not wanting to drop mad weight. I just want to get fit and get rid of extra baggage, yenno? And I figure that if I really want to pursue dance, then I need to get my endurance up. I'll be blogging more about getting in shape later.

I've also decided that I need to start taking better care of myself, as in better care for my skin and hair. And now that my dad is home I think I'll be getting more rest that I usually do. I need to eat healthier which I know is going to be a huge challenge for me, but it's for the better. So I guess you could say I'm making my New Year's Resolutions a little late this year... but as the saying goes, "better late than never."

They look like a new family, haha.

One of my favorite pictures.
Ew, Idk what kind of face Jesse is making.

Okay, there's a little story to these pictures. My mom and I were watching TFC and there was a segment called "A Real Man, Not a Real Man" My mom was telling Jesse to do two different poses. "A Real Man" and "Not a Real Man" Jesse seems to be a little too good at doing the "Not a Real Man" poses, and me and my mom keep giving him a hard time about it lol. ENJOY!


A REAL MAN.


NOT A REAL MAN.
These pictures are from a homecoming party that was thrown for my dad's battalion. The weather was horrible, but it wasn't raining when we got there. There was this blow-up where you could hit each other with these heavy mat-like things, and my mom was loving every second of it.

Cap & Gown

All the seniors received their 'Cap and Gown' orders today. It's kind of bittersweet for me to be doing all these senior things because I feel like I'm betraying Class of 2010. It's really not as exciting because my best friend isn't there with me to do all the senior things, but it's just something I have to get through. I'm really excited to graduate and finally be done with high school. I have the ASSET test this coming up Thursday, and it's required to take if you want to attend any community college in North Carolina. Since I'm only graduating with so many credits, I'm not able to attend a 4 year college. I have to start at a community college, which is just fine with me since that was my plan from the start. Everyone keeps asking me what I'm doing after high school, and I really don't know since we don't know where we're gonna be stationed at or if we get extended. If we move, I'm really hoping we get Hawaii or California. Being so obsessively compulsive with ABDC and just seeing the "city life" really makes me want to get out there. I've always loved cities and being around big buildings. There is something about it that makes me feel like I'm in a totally different planet.

Here are a couple of pictures of my order. Keep a look out in the mail for my graduation announcements! :)

So what are my plans post high school? Well, I'll be going to community college for a nursing program or just general courses (depending on what that college offers) and then transfer to a university to get my bachelor's degree. I'm really thinking about becoming a travel nurse and live in different parts of the world. I think it would be a good experience, but now that Nolan is in my life it would be hard to be so far away. So we'll see how that plan goes. After a couple years into my career, I want to go back to school to get a degree in education. I want to teach Allied Health courses for high school because besides being a nurse I've always seen myself teaching in a class room. My Allied Health teacher, Ms. Jenkins, has also been a huge inspiration because she works so hard. She would be a teacher during the week and a nurse for the weekends. I know it seems kinda hectic to do both, but it's something that I really want to do. Another big ambition of mine is to help kids. I would LOVE to work at St. Jude's. My mom said it would be tough because I would probably become attached to the children, but as long as I could help them in any way I know that I would feel better about the situation. I'd also love to visit different countries and help kids there.

Confirmation Retreat 2009

Yaaay! I'm getting closer and closer to being confirmed (April 21st). We just had our retreat this weekend, and well it was alright. Our religious ed teacher is quite strict, so she was being very serious about every little thing. We were there with another church, and most of us got along pretty well. The weather wasn't too great. It was cold and rainy. Which sucked because we were right by the water. Food was good and some of the activities were fun. The "artsy craftsy" stuff appealed to me the most. I'd like to give thanks to my aunties for their wonderful letters. No one knew we were getting letters from our family, so it was really a great surprise. My friend Hillary and I were both crying haha. Overall, I'm glad that I'm taking this step. I feel that I'm doing the right thing and hopefully carry my faith strongly. It was a good experience, and hope you enjoy these photos! :)

My Endless Love.

So I'm sitting here by my lonesome in first period because my best friend JUST SHOWED UP RIGHT NOW! Haha, well she wasn't here in the beginning of the class, but she's here now. Anyways this blog is about my new love, Dominic Sandoval AKA D-Trix from the Season 3 ABDC Champs, Quest! If you haven't heard of them, then you have been living under a rock. I'm so glad they won! MTV definitely went cheap on the season though, but it's probably because of the economy being down and what not. Hopefully ABDC will have another tour soon, so I can go see Quest live! I know I haven't been keeping up with this blog, but now that I know I have a good of amount of free time in first period I'll be blogging more often. Last night I was watching performance of Quest, of course, and my mom wanted to try a "ticking" move. Let's just say it didn't look too good lol. She also tried to "booty shake" but I have NO idea what the heck she was doing, but I guess it's the effort that counts haha. My goal right now is to be on ABDC Season 10, so that gives me about 3 years to take some classes, learn how to break, find my own dance "style", and round up a super duper good crew. Wish me luck! Oh and vote for my crew;)
