I live for the weekends now that I'm in college. When I lived at home the weekend meant watching the boys while my parents went out, mowing lawns and cleaning the house. Now it means FREEDOM!

choir it up.

I am loving Seattle! It is such an incredible place. We are loading up and heading for Victoria, Canada this morning!

Arizona.

Dad, Nolan and I drove to Arizona for a couple days. Lots of baseball, food, family and fun. 

my mom is on strike.

so I have no clean clothes because the laundry room is locked and we are forbidden to enter. I've also done all the cooking and cleaning for my family the past 2 days. My parents are AWESOME. No, they're actually really great, they do a lot for me.

AS A SIDE NOTE: I am going on the Choir Trip. YAY! I wasn't ever planning on going but i kinda changed my mind. So i'm going to miss my family vacation but it will be worth it. we get to sing in some really cool places and i've never been to Seattle.

this looks cool. 

also my parents are paying $539 of it and i'm paying $300. thats kinda a lot of money. I have already made my first $50 installment.

how inspirational. 

ALSO. this is the greatest website yet. 

one more thing. song. 

happy new year.
