first post in almost 2 years =D

i havent updated this thing in nearly two years! jeez time flies!
well now im a senior. anxious to graduate. i'll be 18 soon. i just got a camera of my very own yesterday as a reward for getting my YW medallion, so i'll put up lots of pictures. im getting my braces off at the begining of next month.
Today was my official last day of high school tennis! it was kinda sad. this year is already blowing by SO fast!

FiRsT oFfiCiaL dAtE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it finally happened! N it was really fun!
i planned it all out myself, it was a big group date i think there were 5 or 6 couples.
Everyone came up to my house at about 7 n my dad made carne asada. it was really yummy!
Then we went outside and made smores in the fire pit, n just chilled out side around the fire for a little.
then we went in side and we were gonna watch "the invisible" but something was wrong with the disc. so we went back to blockbuster and chose a different movie.
we rented "pulse"! it wasnt near as scary as i thought it would be but it was really good!
but yeah we all crowded onto the couch n i sat by my date, Pete.
it was really fun and then everyone whent home around 11.
SORRY! we forgot to take pictures!
but here's a picture of my date, sorry its the best one i could find he's the one on the right :)

Well i recently turned 16!
i've been so excited about it and now that its here it hasnt been quite as eventful as i anticipated
though in the very near future i think it will be
next week is a church dance
and the weekend after that there is youth conference which there will also be a dance for!
then in april there is the LDS prom!
i will probably obtain a date at one of the 2 up coming dances, so i will write again if there is any such luck :)

No, sadly i have not gone on my "first date" yet but the only guy i am really interested in wont be 16 for another month...(:
he was at my birthday prty(:
here are some pictures from my party...

Oh tHe ThRiLlS i WilL hAvE!

nEw ThInGs:
McKay moved out last weekend, i'm not sure that i'm upset about it yet or not. It's a little bit weird to go in his room n have him not yell at me to get out or something like that, and it kinda sucks that he's not there to give me rides when i desperately need them. But he comes home on the weekends (though he has been gone with his friends for all of this one). but its kinda nice to be "the only child" me and my mom have bonded quite a bit over the past week and my parents and i just seem to be getting along better :) that sounds a little sad, i know. and its not that mckay was a problem (*cough*) just me and him arent fighting so me n my parents arent fighting because me n McKay r fighting. yeah but it's going pretty well...so far.
I GOT UNLIMITED TEXTING!
there is not much else to say ecept that it is AWESOME!
I'm going to my school homecoming! no not with a date im only 15 years 7 months 18 days and and 43 minuets old (not that im counting (:) but i think its gonna be really fun im going with a bunch of my girlfriends and a couple of our close (guy) friends from beaumont are coming so yeah...i got a really cute dress! so im super excited about it! yay!
i've got a super busy week coming up! i've got a project i've got to have done by friday, 3 tennis games (we're playing beaumont at home, come watch us get stomped!lol) and then homework and tennis practice and seminary! im gonna be exhausted! and then... the homecoming game on friday and the dance on saturday! BUSY BUSY BUSY!
Nothing too interesting (besides my new neice [lilly may!] she's sooooo cute!), but i'll let you know if something cool does happen

SCARY!!!!

o boy you are never gonna believe im still alive! i can hardly believe it!
but this is surely a "lets not tell my mom about this" kind of a story ok! :)
-so me and my friend jamie and her cousin amanda wnr to the Beaumont football game two weeks ago to see some of our good friends play. well the game got over sooner than expected _{(beaumont got stomped!)}so we decide to walk down to beaumont ave were the starbucks and cold stone and all that good stuff is (about 2 blocks away). so we got going and its about 7 o'clock and my mom isnt coming till like 9 or 9:30. we are walking by this one street and me n jamie remember that that street is a short cut so we walk down that street. we arent too worried about anything happening cuz its like tract housing. so we walk by some houses that arent done yet, its just like the frame of the houses pretty much, and they're two story.
amanda says, "we should go in there n have a little party" jamie says "yeah!!!" (they were saying all of this jokingly) i say, "heck to the naw! there are probably people in there just waiting to kill dumb people like us that would do something like that" and at that very moment i look up at the house closest to us and up in the top story are two guys just standing there watching us!!! it scared me at first but then i saw that they looked about our age. so i wasnt real worried. so i say, "don't be doing drugs in there!" and they say, "we're security." we're like, "ok sure, bye!"
jamie and amanda had already turned around to keep walking. i started to turn around but had to do a double take. there was a guy dressed in all black with a black ski mask on running full speed towards me!!!!!! i freaked! i was holding amanda's purse, i thought maybe thats what he wanted so i chucked it and stared running screaming "no! no! no! no!!!!" and jamie and amanda turn around and now he's running straight for jamie! so i've stopped running now and im screaming for him to leave her alone and she's screaming saying "stop it!!!! leave me alone!" our attacker has his hand straight out in front of him and i thought he was spraying jamie with pepper spray or mace or something (apparently he wasn't). all that was going through my mind this whole time is im gonna get kidnapped and or raped or jamie or amanda or all of us! i was soooooo scared! it is incomprehensible how scared i was! i stared screaming that i was going to call the police. i suprized myself because i actually got my phone out and called. of course they didnt even pick up right away...
but any ways the guy kept running he didnt stop! he just ran and turned down another street. but of course as girls we had every scary story that may or may not have ended much worse pounded into our heads from either our moms or Oprah! we we are still freaking out! screaming....at least i was jamie and amanda are laughing at me cuz im just going crazy! i hung up my phone as soon as i realized he was gone but, wow i was just going crazy! jamie almost peed her pants from laughing so hard and a few mins later had to pop a squat on the side of the road in some bushes (:D). it was just really crazy so we kept walking and got to cold stone and stuff we found some of our other friends who had also been at the game (Mo) so we hung out with him and some of his friends for the rest of the night but o man it was just really scary! im still even now a little bit spooked about it!
yeah so i pretty much learned my lesson! #1 mom was right when she said don't talk to strangers! #2 three teenage girls walking down a not very well lit street is not a good idea!

Getting Started!
