10 reasons I'm so so happy!

1) I just found out tonight at soccer practice that we only have two weekends of games left and then we're DONE! FINALLY! 7 years of AYSO, and I'm never going back, never!

2) Track is also over! I'm kind of sad about that one, because it was really fun, and I felt great after the workouts, but I really need a break after having it every day after school. Since Track is 6th period, all we have to do is check in with Coach Sayles, sit around and do whatever we want either on the bleachers or in Sayles' room for an hour and a half. It's nice, cause I can get my homework done, listen to music, chit chat with friends, etc. I wish we could leave school, but we're not allowed until 2:30. But oh well, sitting doing nothing is better than sitting in a boring classroom learning and 2:30 is 15 minutes before everyone else gets out, yeah girl!

3) My Biology teacher said we won't be having any tests until about a week or two after STAR tests are over, which is about 3 to 4 weeks. Phew! HUGE relief!

4) I'm really excited about being with my best friends and more church friends at Tesoro next year! I'm really excited to just get a fresh start at a new school..it'll be great! (:

5) I thought about it today, and in less than a year, I will have my licsence (lisence? or liscence? I can't spell). That is such a crazy feeling!

6) Alanna and Jared are getting married so so soon! Wooo!

7) My brother comes home in 33 dayssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8) Tomorrow I'm seeing my school's musical with my mom and Amanda! I'm so excited it'll be fabulous!

9) I have Choir and Track banquets coming up soon, and I'm really excited to dress up all pretty and take pictures with my fantastic friends (:

10) 49 days (including weekends) until SUMMER! 35 days (excluding weekends) until SUMMER!

Professional Wedding Pictures

I just realized that I never posted my sister's professional wedding pictures. Sorry! There's way too many to post on here, obviously, so I decided to give you the link, and look at all of them if you want. So follow these guidelines, step-by-step:

1. Go to --> http://www.lynnettephoto.com/
Then, you will be at Lynette Mortero Photography.

2. Once you're on the site, click 'enter site'.

3. When it brings you to the next page, you'll see pictures of different weddings in a slideshow. Below that you'll see some links. Click the one that says 'find wedding'.

4. Once on the next page, scroll down until you see 'Jen + Jason'. When you click on that, it'll say you need a password. The password is byers (Jason's last name).

5. From there, you can just click on the pictures you want to see enlarged, or you can go to the top right and click 'slideshow' and viola!

If you look at them, I really hope you enjoy them! If you look at all of them (which I doubt any of you want to do) you really get the feel that you were at the wedding, since our photographer got like, every little detail! But I loved Lynette, she takes amazing pictures. I highly recommend her if you know anyone getting married and they need a photographer!

Here's a little preview of some really cool pictures she got (: They make me so happy




I love this picture, because it was my sister's first look at herself after getting ready for like 3 hours




The incredible prayer my Uncle Mark did for my brother's deployment

F?!

I hate Biology. I have an F in that class. I also hate Schoolloop, because he's what told me I have an F in Biology.
Ugh, I don't get it! I try and try to study, and everything just doesn't stick to my brain! My teacher isn't all that great either. Ms. Hogan...yeah, she is definitely not something I want to ever talk about to anyone, I dislike her very much. She knows I try in that class! But whenever I ask for help, it's like she tries to come up with something to make me understand it even less! She makes no sense! Jeez woman! Cut me some slack!
I'm sorry if I sound like a stuck up complainer, but that's just how I feel right now and I need to vent...if that makes sense?
I've never had an F in a class. Never. But thanks to Biology, Ms. Hogan, Schoolloop, and whoever had the faintest idea that Biology should become a high school subject that students one day in the future might fail, I am writing this sad sad little blog. F!

This is good and bad news

Next fall I will no longer be a Capo Cougar :/ (That's bad news)
Next fall I will be a Tesoro Titan (: (This is the good news)
I'm really excited to be going to Tesoro, because all my best friends go there! But I'm sad to leave the people at Capo, and I really love Capo too.
But, what's done is done.
I'm excited about what will happen in the future (:

When at Starbucks, I recommend if you're...

Feeling spicy?
- *Chai Tea latte
OR - *Iced Chai Tea latte with 7 pumps of chai and light ice (Bethany told me about his one!)

Feeling zen-y?
- **Green Tea frappachino

Feeling fruity?
-Shakin' ice tea lemonade with passion tea and sweetened

Feeling a bit chilly?
- **Hot White Chocolate mocha


* Get regular milk...otherwise it'll taste like water.
** Ask for nonfat milk...it doesn't taste as creamy and fattening, plus it's healthier, and tastes more natural.

They'll all just fulfill your senses, guartanteed!

Wow, Ashlee Simpson

Way to go get pregnant.
I thought I had pretty high hopes for you, but now I'm just not quite sure, girl.
Come on now, Ashlee.

Note to self (and anyone else reading)

Never exhale while you are chewing Saltine crackers.
Salt and crumbs fly everywhere.
And I'm still picking it all out of my keyboard.
That's all I needed to say.

Thank you Spring Break

Thanks to you, my farmers tan is GONE!!!! WOOOO!
It's only taken me about 3 years to get rid of it...
Banana Boat Tanning Oil with SPF 8 really does work magical wonders (:

I like you, American Airlines

Today I flew home from Chicago (in quite nasty weather by the way, and if you check the news you'll see how badly flights have been cancelled etc., etc...). There is one thing I recommend if you ever fly on American Airlines:

Go to the plane bathroom right when you get into the aircraft (while people are boarding). I did this because I had to pee real bad and didn't have time to go in the regular airport bathrooms before I boarded the plane. Oh, you wouldn't believe what I discovered!
They put some delicious air-freshener in there before anyone uses it that is the tangy smell of citrusy orange. Mmm! Yum! So it's really important to go before other people use the lavetory because it gets so stinky so quickly, and you'll miss the fabulous orangy greatness!
I highly recommend it.

Really, Disney Channel?

Disney Channel recently had commercials about how they're doing all Halloween movies during April. What is that?! Halloween had their time in October. Whatever Disney Channel. I just don't get you.

Post #2 on April 3rd 2008

Last night, it rained while I was at my soccer practice at about 8:15. And might I say, it was glorious. We were running, screaming, laughing, and soaking wet, it was fantastic. I really really wish it rained here more. I get so dang tired of the sun! I told that to my Chicago relatives and they think I'm insane, because the only time they get sun is mostly in the summer. But I just told them that I beg to differ. I love rain, and I wish Orange County did a little more too, so we could have some more of it!

Nancy Drew

I really love this movie. I've watched like 3 or 4 times already. I don't know why. I think it's because I want to be like Nancy Drew. The girl solves crimes for a living, and is freakin good at it. Sounds pretty fabulous to me!
