safety pins holding up the things that make you mine ♥

Ahhh. Hmm. This is a weird set.
 
AP Tests? Check.
Prom? Check.
 
Up next?
Finals, graduation, and then...THE NETHERLANDS BABY! Couldn't be more excited for this month!
 
Graduating from high school is so bittersweet. On one hand, I'm really excited to move forward with my life and study at a fantastic university, but on the other...I'm scared for all the major changes that are coming my way. I'm scared to grow up but excited at the same time. It's all just gone by so fast, it's crazy!

Seriously putting off study. I'm to the point where I decided to visit this website for the first time in probably over a year.
 
This set is kind of tragic. I kind of forgot how to make them...
 
AP French tomorrow holla

My boyfriend's dad and my dad both grew up in Chicago.
Chicago's a big city, it's not unusual for two people to be from there.
 
Turns out they lived in the same town. A street away from each other. Went to the same school. In the same class/grade. And their pictures are on the same page of the yearbook. My boyfriend's dad and my dad knew each other. o.O

My first fall set.. :/ ughh I really do not want summer to end. Ill be posting blogs here about my week later, but right now I have to eat, shower, and babysit.

bloggedy blog blog; Saturday, august 20th, 2011. Officially one of the best nights I've ever had. He picked me up around 6:30, and we got to the sushi restaurant, but there was a wait so we walked around for a while. We did a little window shopping and made our way down to the lake but headed back to the restaurant when our table was ready. :) The restaurant is tiny but SO SO good, and completely packed! We sat at the sushi bar and decided on ordering the Lollipop Roll and the regular sushi platter....SOO MUCH SUSHI!! 20 pieces oh myy! The lollipop roll was absolutely DELICIOUS. OH MY GOD. SO SO SO GOOD. There were a lot of different types of fish with things like avocado and tempura and shrimp and what not mixed into the rolls. Then we got the regular sushi, and that was...ehhh. Haha I said I was fully but really there was just soo much raw fish, and I was supposed to eat it in one bite otherwise it would fall apart but I couldn't fit it in my mouth :| Waah. Anyways the sushi experience was a blast, but oh my it cost like 80 dollars once you got the tip in there :/ I felt soo bad, I was going to pay for the tip but I looked in my wallet and found two dollars...shitt, I forgot I used it to buy nail polish :| Oh well, I'll do something nice for him. :D
 
After dinner, we walked around and sat down by the lake. We were just being really flirty, watching the sunset and kissing here & there. It was adorable. :) We walked back to his car after that, and he drove me home, but we stopped at the park and sat in his car and..mhmm..(;
 
It was most definitely one of our best nights together. We just had a lot of fun and talked about silly things and ahhh <33
 
---------------Blog; Sunday, August 21st, 2011---------------
I woke up on the floor of my living room, because my family decided to sleep downstairs with my dog. It was my last night with him since we have to put him down next week. :'( I got up and drove my mom to the flower store, then I went shopping with my twinnies! All I got was a free pair of lace back panties from VS. And then we went and walked down by the lake and visited my friend at his work. Then after din din I went to my dad's house, and we practiced driving...and he yelled, a lot, and i cried, and yelled at him, but FINALLY i learned how to parallel park. o.O
