Awesome Sleepover

I hadn't seen my bestie in months until last night! We seriously had to catch up. We talked about a ton and had a great time! I missed her to death. I felt Megan deprived. Anyways, it's all good now though! Hoping to have some more good times like that alot this summer. My overall favorite quote from last night:
"Behind these flying toasters are some of the deepest conversations you'll ever see in your entire life."
I LOVE YOU MEGAN!!!!

North Carolina Aquarium

This week my family and I went to the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. It was pretty good sized and had many different species of fish. My favorite part of the aquarium was the touch tank. There were different types of stingrays, horseshoe crabs, and small sharks inside for the public to pet. There was one stingray in particular that kept coming up to me and rubbing his slimy body against my hand. Most of the little sharks stayed away from the people and near some rocks, but there were a couple that swam around the edge of the tank so people could pet them. My second favorite part of the aquarium was the shark tank. This tank had large, dangerous sharks with razor sharp teeth and powerful jaws. Some were cute, but others were frightening and inimidating. I tried to take a picture of one shark and he started coming a me with his mouth open! No matter how evil the sharks were however, the trip to the aquarium was pretty awesome and I reccomend you go there!

My Beachy Paradise

As I said in the post before this one, I'm at OBX. At least once a day since Saturday I've gone to the beach. Recenty I've realized that this might be my most favorite place I've ever been to. When you sit on the soft sand of the relaxing beach, you'll see graceful dolphins surfing on the waves created by speed boats plowing through the water. When you look up into the air, you'll see not a cloud in the sky. Pelicans and sea birds fly over your head in lines and formations as if they're all syncronized. Vacationers fly colorful kites over the sand and the sea. Families spread out across the wide, open beach, so it's as if you're the only one there. Small crabs and other ocean creatures accompany you during your visit. At night, the shining moon rises over the ocean, its light being reflected off the dark blue waters. Stars sparkle and shine throughout every inch ofthe sky. Every now and then, a nice breeze sweeps across your face. The sand is soft and cool like powder spread across the beach. I adore the beaches of North Carolina with all my heart :)

Catching Up

Wow.....it's been a month since I've posted......that just shows how busy I've been since school let out! I guesswe've got some catching up to do. Let's go back to when school first let out. Last day was great, but extremely sad. Before the last bell rang in my middle school life we all cried and hugged each other. Alot of us are going to be seperated next year because we're going to different schools. The day ended up being fatastic anyways because later on that day my friends ad I went to KD. The following week my grandma from Texas came. She stayed with us until that Thursday. It was really fun having her over, and there were alot of funny moments we all had! After she left on Thursday, I had marching band practice. I love those people there so much!!! I'm looking forward to a great year with them all. That Friday, my family and I headed up to West Virginia. The weather was beautiful. The hummingbirds were flying around that patio and there were plants full of vegetables and flowers everywhere. One day in West Virginia, my grandpa took my brother, dad, and I down to the jail. Don't think wrongly of that, it was just to show us around, I promise! Anyways, he showed us how things work around the jail and he locked me in a cell. Alone. It was terrible fr the short 5 minutes I was in there! I don't understand how smeone could do that for years. I also got strapped in a restraint chair....next to another inmate. That was unbelievably awkward. The whole thing ended up being pretty fun and interesting though! After we got back from West Virginia,e all just took a little time to chill. On Tuesday I went downtown with Craig and went to band practice. It was a great day! Lots of fun, heat wasn't too bad, got to see my band peeples. Thursday was the worst. That was the day I had to get my wisdom teeth taken out. It was pretty horrible. The surgery itself was easy with all the laughing gas and meds I was on, but after that, I think I had just about the worst week of my life. I was constantly falling asleep, I was always on medicine. I couldn'teat ANYTHING, or even open my mouth. My face was swollen as big as a basket ball. In the middle of the night, I would wake up with an incredible firey pain in my mouth. It just.....sucked. After recovering for about a week, Saturday, we left for where I am now! At the moment I'm at the Outer Banks of North Carolina (OBX)!!!! We've been chillaxin at the beach, hanging out at the dunes, shopping, mini golfing, we even went on a dolphin tour a couple days ago! I'll talk about what I've been doing this week in another post, but hopefully this helped us catch up a little bit :)

8th Grade Formal

Last night was the 8th Grade Formal! It was FANTASTIC! Everyone looked great. The people that decorated the cafeteria did an excellent job. I was actually expecting it to be kinda cheesy, but it really wasn't. I hung out with my basties the whole time. We danced, talked, and just had the best time ever. It was a bit awkward when the slow songs came on though, because Megan, Katherine and I were like the only people who weren't slow dancing with a guy. I didn't care though, all I need is mah buds :) Seeing some of the couples there was ADORABLE. Megan, Katherine, and I danced together anyways, and it was great. We took LOTS of pictures that I'll be sure to upload sometime soon. Megan and I asked the DJ to play Blackout, and everyone knew it was us because we sing that song so often! Katherine taught me how to dance a little more and better than I used to, haha. Thanks Katherine! After the dance, my music teacher invited me to go to Sweetfrog with her, Maggie, Olivia, and Cidalia. While we were there we ran into Gillian. It was a crazy spectacular night. I hope to have one like it again sometime.

Last Week

I had absolutely no time to post last week, so I'm just gonna try to sum up all of the wonderous happenings in one post. The Thursday before last, I forgot to mention that I helped Olivia and Cici find a dress for formal! They were gorgeous. When Cici wanted to go into Hollister, me and Olivia acted like we were dying the entire time we were in there. That weekend I went over to my bestie, Megan's house to have a sleepover. We had so much fun, and we got in some time to work on our performance for the talent show. I also went kayaking again at some point. Last week was extremely eventful for me! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I rode the bus to Courtland after school for mini band camp. The first day wasn't so great, but the other two were! I really love those people. Everyone was really helpful and supportive of each other. Now I know I am most DEFINITELY doing marching band in highschool. Can't wait! Friday was supposed to be field day, but there were chances of storms, so talent show day and field day got switched. I was freaking out when I found out Thurday afternoon, because I wasn't prepared at all to sing in front of a crowd. It was on my bucket list however, so no backing out for me! I found a nice dress and some jewelry that night to wear the next day and I bought the instrumental version of Payphone by Maroon 5 on iTunes. The next morning Megan and I showed up in our dresses in the auditorium. We were third to perform. When we got on stage, my hands got a little shaky. When I'm nervous and I'm trying to hide it or appear confident, it all goes to my hands for whatever reason. Anyway, no one told us when they were starting the music so we didn't have the greatest start in the world. That was okay though, because throughout the rest of the song we had very little, if not noticable at all, errors. Megan and I made the song our own by adding various harmonies and parts to the song. I was shocked when we finished because we got an unbelievable amount of cheers and smiles. Everyone was complimenting us all day about our performance. You guys really boosted my self esteem that day, I'd just like to thank you all for that! I have the most supportive friends anyone could wish for. I'd also like to thank my bestie that sang with me, you were UHMAYZUHNN GURRRLLL!!! Everyone that participated in the show on Friday was great! I luff all of you :) Amazing week, right?
