Spring Break Here I Come!

I was so disapointed this morning when I woke up and realized it was Wednesday instead of Thursday. I am so ready to be done with school for the next week I can hardly stand it. I am migrating down to Panama along with the rest of Owensboro with my best friend Elizabeth Owen and her parents. We are going to be away from the party end, but we will still have fun. Elizabeth and I don't get as crazy as some teenagers our age. We would rather spend our time remembering what is happening and going shopping. My status last night was "Can it be Spring Break already? I need a break, the beach, and some sleep!" I have been physically and emotionally drained recently and I can't wait to reload. I love the sound of the ocean and I love being warm. At first the weather was looking sketchy for next week, but it has changed and there is only a chance of rain one day! Its going to be warm and sunny the rest of the time!
Elizabeth and I are going to stay up all night Thursday packing and getting ready for the trip so we can sleep in the car the whole way. I'm not really for sure how well that is going to work out, especially since I have to drive my self to my hair appointment on Friday before we leave.
I'm looking forward to coming back with lots of stories to blog about!

911 emergency

If you were in an emergency who would you call first and why?
Well, it depends on the emergency on who I would call. If I was on the side of the road, upside down, bleeding out of my head, I would probably call 911 and then my mom. Not that she would answer, because she never does; therefore, my life is in the better hands of the emergency crew. If my car was blowing smoke and my tire was 2 miles back, I would probably call my dad. He knows everything there is to know about cars. He could tell me how to fix it and where the nearest Auto Zone was. If I was having a fashion emergency, I would call Elizabeth Owen because together, we know everything there is to know about clothes. With both of our heads together, we could come up with a solution. If I was being jumped, I would call my sister Amber and then my boyfriend Jay because with the two of them together, I would not want to fight me anymore. If I was on an airplane that had been hijacked and I got one phone call, I would probably just send out a mass text message because there are too many people to call and none of them I can rely on enough to answer there phone. If I was arrested, I would call my Bop. My dad and uncle have gotten in enough trouble and I know I could convince him or my grandmother to come get me.
And... If I saw a ghost, I would probably call GHOST BUSTERS!

If I had more time...

If I had time, and he was here, I would spend time with Jay. One thing I wish I had more of, was time to spend with him before he left. Between my busy schedule and his, we didn't get to see eachother as much as we hoped. He was busy telling people goodbye and I was busy with my family, tennis, and riding. I would take time to replay the last day that we had together. We went to church, my grandparents house, then his grandparents house and watched movies and hung out. Suprisingly, we didn't stress (till the end) about him leaving. I would rather just skip me having to leave. It's weird not having him texting me or calling me. I got so used to telling him about everything, and now I just have to wait for a letter. But, I can do it, and I can't wait for him to come back.

No Bake Reese's Gone Wrong!

Last year, Christina Faulls and I were hanging out. After a long and stressful week at school, we were finally taking a breather. We decided we were having a chocolate craving and chocolate always makes you feel better, so we went to Wal-mart and discovered the best thing known to man… No Bake Reese’s. We were convinced that this was going to be so easy to do and it was going to be so delicious. We were so excited and couldn’t wait to get home to make our masterpiece and enjoy this chocolate peanut-buttery goodness! We rushed home, and through the door, so excited to show my parents our new found treasure. They didn’t find all that exciting, which didn’t matter; it meant more for us!
In a rush to get it thrown together and into the fridge, we might have maybe, somehow, messed up a few of the directions. At the time, it seemed like we were doing it all right. The simple 3-5 directions could not have been that difficult. Our problem was not in the actual reading of the directions, we just didn’t read the labels on the packages. So, the filling and the crust got mixed up. Our beautiful masterpiece had been ruined.  While making it, we noticed it wasn’t going as well as we planned and non-baking should not be this difficult. But, we thought we were doing it right, so we stuck it in the fridge. Taking our showers and getting ready for bed, we were so excited to try the should-have-been yumminess…It was AWFUL and our little hearts were broken. So, in trying to make up for the ruined batch, we have made it again, this time, hopefully doing it right!

Relaxation

My favorite form of relaxation, is the relaxation pose. Mrs. Johnson taught it to us in biomechanics and when paired with the perfect music, it can be the best thing known to man. It is perfect after a long work out of P90X or Insanity. You lay on the floor, palms up and to your side, your legs straight out, and your eyes closed. Focusing on your breathing, you realx every inch of your body especially the muscles you have just been working. I love also doing this when I can't sleep, counting sheep never really worked for me. My favorite thing to listen to is the nature music app on my phone. I love to mix the sound of the ocean and rain. It's heavenly.

Jay Foster

in your opinion what is the perfect personality? why are these qualities important to you?
do you posses any of these qualities? do your friends or family? which?

Jay Foster is the most caring, supportive, generous, respectful guy I have ever met. He opens every car door, resturaunt door, and house door for me. He is the perfect gentleman, most guys these days aren't. He speaks his mind and isn't afraid to share his opinion, but at the same time he is still respectful of everyone else's. We have been friends for three years and just recently started dating. Going into it, I knew that he was shortly going to be leaving for boot camp, and that day is today. He flies out some at some point and this afternoon will be the last time I get to talk to him for a while. He is joining the air force and will be working on the planes, figuring out what is wrong and how to fix it. Sunday was when I had to tell him bye in person and it was so hard even though the rest of the day had been amazing and we had been able to hang out the whole day. This afternoon I am going to have to tell him bye...again, just not in person. He will be at basic for 8 1/2 weeks. I going to his graduation mid-May and his grandparents and I will get to see him for 48 hours before he leaves for A-school for 4 months. I just found out last night that his training was 4 months instead of 6 which is AH-MAZING! I wrote about him in my Alchemist essay saying how it was hard for me to say goodbye and how I had been stressing about it. I tried so hard not to focus on him leaving and focus on the fun that we could have. It would have ruined the past few days we had together if we had been down about the situation. Instead, we had to make each other laugh and enjoy the time.
It was so easy to start a relationship with someone who you have been friends with for so long. I think it's important to have that friendship built up so you know if they are someone you are interested in dating. A lot of times, people start dating someone they barely know, which is probably why teenage relationships are wrongly centered and don't last very long. Personalities play a major role when you are picking someone you are going to date, or they should. Physical appearance isn't going to get you anywhere. You have to have similar interests, morals, and values. My mom has three rules that any boy that we bring home had to meet. Rule #1. They have to have good morals and values
Rule #2. They have to have respect
Rule #3. Last but not least, they have to treat us like the princess we are ;)
Jay definately meets all three of those rules. Even though people might think its a bad or crazy idea, I do what makes me happy and I am very happy with him.
