Continued.

Another reason i haven't been blogging much lately is because it's finally spring!
it's so gorgeous outside i can't stand being cooped up all day!
the weather is so beautiful and i LOVE it!!

and imagine, this is all right outside in my yard! beautiful!

not again

yes i've been a horrible blogger the last few weeks. so sorry for that!
been real busy.
want me to prove it?
alright. first things first
it's prom time.
stressful and fun all at the same time!
i love prom!
i do.
i love being dressed up and all fancy for a night,
i love having that whole day to pamper myself and get ready
i love people commenting on the outcome.
but i hate getting compared to every other girl there.
face it. it's what girls do.
they look you over see how well your day of pampering payed off
and compare you to themselves or the girl next to you.
it bothers me.
can't we all just look great and have a great time together and not put rankings on it?
oh well.
ok so this wasn't my prom i went to mine isn't for another 2 weeks
and believe me i'll have a ton of pictures for you then!
this is my friend's prom he asked me to be his date and i loved it.
it was way different then my small town traditional prom,
but i had a blast and i'm so glad i got to go.

Mormon Prom?

Yes. We have a Mormon Prom.

What is this??

Our Stake, which is the Kearney, Nebraska Stake, combines with the 

Lincoln, Nebraska Stake and we have Mormon Prom.

It's pretty much where you show up in a modest prom dress without a date 

and have a great time eating, dancing, and taking pictures. 

The great thing about it is that there isn't any inappropriate dancing,

drama, or anything that could ruin the night.

in fact the biggest drama of the night would be

"so-and-so danced with what's-his-face 3 times in a row! Can you believe that??"

Oh ya, and it's in the afternoon so we have to shut off the lights as if it was a late night dance

oh and we also have a guest speaker before our dance.

haha it's pretty fun.

buuut...it's kinda awkward because let me tell you, there isn't very many 17-18 year olds that still wanna come,

so needless to say, I end up dancing with little sophomores and freshman, oh well. good memories at least.

wanna see a few pictures?? 

of course you do.

 my closest friends from the stake. minus a few. and with my lil' brother.(such a cutie)

^ my two closest friends from my ward ^

he wanted to see how many girls he could get in a picture with him! haha

boredom

once every four years

leap year is such a strange day.
i don't even get it!
what's the point of having one extra day every four years?
why??
all it does is make that 64 yr old actually 16!
and the 44 yr old 11
that's weird
and that sucks.
why would you want your birthday, anniversary, or any other special event
on leap year?
so you can only celebrate it every four years?
i'm confused!
so if anyone knows why there is such a thing as a leap year,
please be my guest and fill me in!

There are always good things to come.

keep your head up.

although this was a weekend or two ago i thought i should let you know about it.
so my science teacher asked if i wanted to go to a science convention for girls in lincoln
well it was being held at the embassy suites and it was free and allowed me to have a weekend
of shopping and time with my best friends in a gorgeous hotel so i said sure lol
so we got out of school early friday and started on are way to lincoln
we first started with a tour of the UNL campus, which is where i'm going to college next year
so that was good
the tour guide was a college senior and when he asked me to introduce myself he misheard me and
thought my name was SAPPHNER
can i just ask which cruel unruly parent would ever name their kid that??
why would he think that? lol
but i corrected him and it provided lots of entertainment the rest of the weekend
so Women in Science Convention doesn't sound too fun i know
but let me share the few exciting things i did that weekend.

1.held a starfish

 2. a millipede

3. a tarantula

4. a python

5. put my finger in a venus fly trap

6. spit my gum from floor nine into the waterfall in the lobby

7. and snuck out of our hotel to get hot chocolate and wander downtown lincoln

now now don't think i'm this geek into all these weird animals and reptiles,
because im not!
but how cool is it to say you've held a tarantula!
or a python!
or had a millipede crawl on your hand
ya i don't know maybe it's just me but it was pretty cool
and i'm not a naughty rebel child either
just adventurous
if you disapprove,
so be it
haters gonna hate 
but i had fun (:

Look!

pinterest.

how i love it!

so many good things to learn and see on it

for example,

look here [insert arrow pointing down]

it taught me how to fish-tale braid!

ain't that neat!?

it also was a big key in teaching me how to french braid!

o the wonders of pinterest!

i love braiding.

as you can see!

happy face!

o and since we're talking about braiding hair, ill let you know,

i cut my hair!

ok not really i guess i trimmed it lol

and cut my bangs 

picture to come

i love dreaming.
i wish i could remember all my dreams.
i love having an amazing dream.
but, i hate hate hate waking up from them.
i wish i could just stay in that make believe moment forever.
and so you know what i try to do,
get back to sleep or at least just maybe fall back into it for a little longer
but a lot of the times its lost.
as soon as i know i wont be back in my imaginary world,
i go over every little detail of the dream that i remember
over and over and over
trying to memorize it by heart so i won't lose it again
i replay it and daydream about it all day. . .
did you know that most dreams are forgotten within the first 10 minutes?
but those one dreams you just loveeee
i never want to lose those moments
so i don't let myself
i ♥ dreaming.

Story Time

Once upon a time, Saturday night, i took a magical trip

ok im going to not tell it in storybook terms.

actually i'll tell it in pictures.

This, this is my car.

not technically, its just a picture of the car i have,

 not really the same car exactly but you understand.

ok so Saturday night i took my best friend Brittany, 

^ this is a creepy picture of her and i 

anways we drove to another town we'll call 

Anrelmo-Merma

to pick up our dearest friend,

Julia

^this is her.

So we picked her up and went to a town called,

we'll just call it Stinky because that's what it is

so we go to movies and see. . .

now we went to this but only because we would have had to 

drive an hour to see what we wanted to see!

which was this!

oh! how i wanted to see it!! o well we'll go next weekend perhaps.

so after the movie im driving Julia home and get all confused because Anrelmo-Merma has stupid lane problems, then i took a quick turn because i was trying to get to her house and realized i had almost missed the turn, and it just so happens that i forgot to put on my blinker.

well then i see this.

it could only mean one thing obviously.

so i stop the car and get my license and registration

now this is my first time ever being stopped by a cop!

so im freaking out.

and im still 17 and technically can't be driving with two friends that aren't family members.

so he gets to my vehicle. . .

(this is me except not a guy, and it was dark, and i wasn't smiling, and he had a flashlight)

anyways...

and asks me  

why i think im being pulled over.

im in shock so he answers for me,

"you failed to put on a blinker, and you were swerving, and took that corner pretty quickly"

so i apologize, and he says

"why don't you come sit with me in my vehicle"

now my hearts beating and im scared to death, 

i have never in my life heard of a cop telling someone to go sit in a vehicle with them!

so as im getting out and leaving my best friends behind, a million thoughts race through my  mind,

-what if this isn't a cop?

-what if he's a kidnapper?

-or worse?

i have a very active imagination and im really making myself sick over this.

but i do as im told and sit with him in his vehicle

now imagine him ^ there and me, well right ^ there.

then he proceeds to question me.

-where have you been tonight?

-what have you been doing tonight?

-how old are you?

-what grade you in?

-who are those girls in the vehicle?

-etc.

i was literally about to pee on his nice policeman seat!

and i wouldn't have cared!

so then he radios in my ID and stuff and idk exactly what happened 

then he told me to stay here while he went and got my friends' IDs 

he came back and made me identify each of them and explain a lot more things.

and finally after about 20 minutes of interrogation he let me go with a verbal warning

what the heck!? 

20 minutes to remind me to use a blinker!? 

now i was late for curfew and scared out of my mind!

when i returned to my car, my friends were freakin out

and Brittany actually made herself sick over it and almost threw up.

it was horrible and i was in shock for most the way home.

it sucked.

but at least i have a halfway decent story out of it...

stupid cop.

Welcome back

so i don't believe i mentioned,
my phone died
completely died, blacked out screen
couldnt see a thing
drove me insane!
i have friends
and people i must text!
so the past 6 days have been pretty hard on me lol
but tonight we fixed that.
so welcome back social life!
nice to finally see you again,
almost died those 6 days
(im exaggerating....)
but i do love my new phone,
although im apparently not good enough for a smartphone yet
o well the dinos and i get along pretty well
(except the last one...and the one before that...and the one before that...)

These boots were made for walkin'

i don't think i mentioned that i got those brown leather boots i wanted!

ya i got them for Christmas!

can i just say,

I love them!

i'm practically obsessed.

every time i have to dress up i literally search for an outfit that i can wear them with!

they are beautiful.

they are comfy.

they are the perfect place to hide my phone in quick situations.

they make every outfit so much more cuter.

i can honestly say they are the first set of "heels" that i love.

can i also mention,

i love my camera still!

For All the MG's out there!

my friend showed me this video, 

made me laugh and smile!

and now i pass it on to all of you, 

especially to you MG's out there (: 

love you all keep up the wait!

Stoked!!!

NEW HUNGER GAMES TRAILER=ME EVEN MORE EXCITED!!

heart stopped i think.

Wow I'm Cool

Guys-

or should i say girls?

I'm seriously obsessed.

I love love love love love getting comments from you guys!

makes me soooo wondrously happy!

Im pretty sure my "comments" tab is so tired of being clicked on 

every 3 hours to see if  I have anything new!

I really want a voice in my computer that just says "you've got a new comment"

like from the movie You've Got Mail.

love Meg Ryan in that movie. so cute.

but anyway, every time one of them gets an email from
the other you hear that catchy little voice...

"you've got mail"

I guess what im saying is please keep commenting!

it makes me extremely happy and I love replying to you guys and getting to know you.

and believe me, if you comment, i'm more than likely gonna stalk your blog so much more ;)

---------------------------------------------------

I've been bored again today in 8th hr and so i looked up some creepy pick lines!

so take a look at these and imagine Eugene saying it

"Hi, I'm foreign. I have Russian hands and Roman fingers.

Wanna see them? They're from the last girls to turn me down."

"Hey, excuse me…Can you help me?  Let me get your opinion.  

Does this rag smell like chloroform?"

 "Are you from Tennessee? Because your license plate says so. 

I had to follow you for four hours to get you to stop. Which house was yours again?"

um....I would probably die from a heart-attack laughing so hard if someone said one of these to me.

Though I too would be entirely creeped out first! haha

Random

oh...

i have a new friend now.

his name is joey.

he's pretty awesomespice so far lol

we'll see. 

(and yes he talked me into writing this

and just because i'm nice i will i suppose.)

The Truth

-Confidence is Sexy
-Being single is the most liberating time when you can do what you want, 

answer to no one and fall in love with yourself!

-A smile is the best curve on a girl.
 -Dating is meant to be fun; not a spectator sport
 -Respect is the minimum, disrespect is where to draw the line
-Playing small doesn’t pay: Let. Your. Light. Shine.

-Paying for dinner and opening doors aren’t reserved only for men, 

they’re reserved for people with manners
 -Speaking your mind won’t scare off the right guy, it will make him fall more
 -A smile is the best introduction
 -Live and learn

-There is no such thing as a "perfect soul-mate"

-Become someone who you would want first

-Don’t settle for less than butterflies
 -Being picky isn’t a crime

Ya, I know

i have a stripper's name.

i've heard it many times.

ok so if my name wasn't actually mine, then i think i'd like it a lot more lol

but because it is, 

i've heard many compliments,

and all the insults.

stripper's name

witch's name

barbie's friends name

what the heck?

can't we all just agree its a gem? lol

o and the nicknames...

really, how how is sat-on-a-fire a nickname!?

it's longer than sapphire!

i don't think my parents thought this through before writing it on my birth certificate 

o well, haters will hate

let me know your opinion?

You Are

Beautiful.

just the word alone gives everyone different opinions and thoughts. 

 but each person is beautiful!

our Heavenly Father created everyone the way they are,

and He does not make mistakes.

i was reading from the beautiful Kelli's blog

and found this amazo (the wonderful abby's lingo) article!

Annie Roiphe is an elderly woman who wrote about a past experience that opened her eyes to the subject.

Every girl should read this 

My favorite part was when she wrote. . .

"I know I looked beautiful that morning. Perhaps not to the young man holding his toddler in his arms who rode the elevator with me; perhaps not to the friend I met for lunch, a true believer in botox; perhaps not to passersby on the street; but I knew it for a certainty. I was beautiful."

 

I love this. 

Maybe not everyone may think you're beautiful,

but you are, and you have to know it yourself. 

plus, your Heavenly Father knows it. 

and who else really matters? ♥
