summer tip- DAY O N E.

As we do every year, my family took our annual camping/a thousand other things to do trip at the end of the summer! I look forward to this trip every year. Just the simple concept of relaxing without work, before school and all that hectic stuff gets me so excited for a week of relaxation and fun :)

This was my traveling outfit. My floral H&M skirt and black lace top from Urban behavior.
You might not believe it, but it was extremely comfertable for the 4 and a half hour ride that lay ahead of us.

When we arrived at our campground (TOJOS), Kayla and I immediately explored the ground as we usually do, but this time we brought our creepy doll Carlos :) haha

I think Carlos really enjoyed his walk :)

Not too much happened the day we arrived. We unpacked and walked around camp...

But we had a couple of busy days ahead of us, so really the bit of relaxation that day was completely worth it. The next day we were going to be doing some extreme shopping, after all.

Props for my braid goes to Kayla, my twin :)

And there you have it, my very unexciting first day of vacation. I promise there will be more exciting posts to come!

rayne shower

This sunday we held a baby shower for my sister, and it was a great success! There was a great turn out and ally got pretty much everything she needs for when baby rayne comes :) This baby shower has got me very excited for when the baby is finally here!

Me and Ally at the shower :)

YUMMMYYYYY

Yes, I am definately speaking in this picture and my sister is blinking, still- i like it.

I'm proud to say that I decorated these!!!

I don't know how good they tasted, but as long as they look good right?

My mom picked out the cutest decorations, cutlery and all that. everything matched and looked so great!

This is the dress I wore...I'm absolutely in love with the color and back!

Again, I'll say it, the decor was amazing!

Guest book!!!!

This was my gift :) The giant teddy bear and gorgeous box filled with baby toys, bottles, blankets and such.

My dress, again :)

I thought the idea of holding the balloons down with little baby booties was genius! Again, props to mom.

Mmmm, pink mints. I've always loved them.

I love the pattern of the napkins!

Me and my mom :)

-I can't wait to see you Rayne

color my life with the chaos of trouble.

at my little brothers baptism, we went to my grandma's beautiful yard for pictures and such.

I love balloons :)

Hush Hush.

Hush Hush

-a novel by Becca Fitzpatrick

:)

I recently read this novel, and really enjoyed it. I don't really have time right now to go into detail ( I have to head to work soon) so basically I'm going to say that I LOVED it and would recomend it to anyone. It's obvious by the cover that angels play a part in this novel, and like any book I read, so does romance. It seems angels have been the main theme of novels I've been reading, but I don't mind, it's a refreshing change from Vampires, haha.

Anyways, this is a novel very well written that holds all aspects of a novel that one loves: mystery, secrets, love, fantasy.

It's a nice escape if you need one, and again, I recomend it to anyone ;)

-p.s

the second book of the series "Crescendo" will be out in late 2010.

So here, I'll leave you with a general description of HUSH HUSH:

"Romance was not part of Nora Grey's plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how hard her best friend, Vee, pushes them at her. Not until Patch comes along. With his easy smile and eyes that seem to see inside her, Patch draws Nora to him against her better judgment.
But after a series of terrifying encounters, Nora's not sure whom to trust. Patch seems to be everywhere she is and seems to know more about her than her closest friends. She can't decide whether she should fall into his arms or run and hide. And when she tries to seek some answers, she finds herself near a truth that is way more unsettling than anything Patch makes her feel.
For she is right in the middle of an ancient battle between the immortal and those who have fallen -- and, when it comes to choosing sides, the wrong choice will cost Nora her life. "

love lost because it forgot who you were...

My life.

Well, I went through a bit of changes this week, one is my job. YES, I still have it, thank god. it's the only job I've ever had that I like EVERYONE I work with. Sadly, my boss is quiting, which sucks cuz I really like her. But the girl replacing her is someone I've known my whole life, so it should still be fine.

I've got all my classes picked out for next year :) I'm excited, I have alot of good English courses that I'm looking forward to taking. Most of my courses this year are English ones, not too many others interest me.

And, I have the most embaressing sun burn. Yesterday, a bunch of bands came to compete to open up for Heart, and it was outside at the point. The sun was so hot, I couldn't even tell you, and I was out there ALL DAY. Now I'm red all over except for the white streak on my forhead which is where my bangs were clipped down to yesterday. gahhh.

Anyway, that's what's up.
