My Life's Notes

Weren't we cute as kids??

Dear Weather,
I seriously dislike you. I want it to be sunny, not gloomy and dreadful.

Dear School,
Please end. NOW.

Dear Friday,
You cannot come soon enough.

Dear Grass,
I so not appreciate the cuts i have all over my legs from ice blocking on Saturday.

Dear "Don't Drop That Thun Thun Thun",
You may be a fun song to dance to, but when it comes to everyday life, you suck. It isn't even a good song children.

Dear Freshmen,
Watch out because this girl is a part of LINK CREW next year. Yep, that's right, I will be giving you your tours and all. Enjoy it, please.

Dear Music Lovers,
Watch this and die of love:

Sincerely,

Yours Truly

P.S. Only 4 days of Seminary left, and 12 days of school(not all of those are full days either). 

How to throw the BEST Mormon Party... For Teens

DISCLAIMER: These Photos are in NO specific order

Being 16 is a pretty big deal. I went back and forth on having a Sweet 16, but ultimately decided it would be a great idea. One thing about Mormon parties is that everyone in the ward helps each other out, and people rarely spend over $400. But with this party, it was a little difficult to keep under budget at first, but eventually we made it. Here is how any person can throw the perfect party for a teenager(especially if you are Mormon):

1. PhotoBooths

Normally these are a little more traditional, but since they are so expensive, a guy in my ward set up the stuff we needed for our Roadshow pictures(a play my church is putting on). He is also a photographer, so he decided to just take picture of us and give them to my family on a CD. They turned out amazing!!

2. Great People

With just the right people, you can start a marshmallow war, or take some totally fantastic her-clicking photos.

3. An Amazing DJ(this guy happens to be one of my really close friends, friends)

Music is the most important part in setting the "mood" of the party. Make sure to pick music that is fun, and that everyone will want to dance to. My new friend, Travis, did a fantastic job!

4. Make sure to invite all of your friends!

You don't want anyone to feel left out do you??

5. What party doesn't end with planking??

Make sure to have a camera to take random shots like this one:

(On my actual birthday, my best friend dropped balloons off for me. Yes, I am in my Pajamas after a shower.. Who cares?)

6. Always make sure you have some sort of theme

I prefer just having a color scheme, so I went with blue and silver this time. I like having cute/classy decor.

Now, this cost of this party was NOT bad at all. Here are the totals:

DJ- $150

Photo Booth- $40

Food- $50

Balloons- $30

Great Time- FREE

GRAND TOTAL- $270

See? cheap and easy. Now go throw yourself the PERFECT party!

Totally Rad Lyrics Tuesday

This past week, I haven't been able to stop listening to Death Cab For Cutie.. Especially their song "I'll Follow You Into the Dark". Basically I love Death Cab(my nickname), but this week especially it has uplifted my thoughts!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do because they are honestly amazing

Just look up He is We.

Tempting Lyrics Tuesday

When I grow up, I want to play this song at my wedding. It is just super cute! You and I by Ingrid Michaelson Don't you worry there my honey We might not have any money But we've got our love to pay the bills Maybe I think your cute and funny Maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you if you know what i mean Chorus: Oh let's get rich and buy our parents home in the South of France Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance Let's get rich and build our house on a mountain making everybody look like ants Way up there you and I, you and I Well you might be a bit confused And you might be a little bit bruised But baby how we spoon like no one else So I will help you read those books If you will soothe my worried looks And we will put the lonesome on the shelf Chorus(2 times)

My Theme Song

One artist I can always count on to know my exact feelings is Lenka. Her music is so amazing. Well at the moment her song "The Show" describes my life perfectly. I honestly do not know what to do in life. School is getting really boring, we really don't do anything at all in every class. And at home I just want it to be Summer already!! Well on the bright side my best friend gave me some great new alternative music yesterday. I literally died and went to heaven for a few minutes. I am now an owner of the new "Foster the People" album.. So now for the weekend I shall tell "All the other kids with thosePumped Up Kicks" to enjoy this Memorial Day Weekend!!
