Hard work...

+ + +

It's the time of the year to do yard work. It has been a pretty busy day today with my soccer game, and then yard work until the sun went down. Good thing it was good weather today aaannd I got a good nights rest. :) Hard work always pays off too... now I won't have to do anything until next Saturday! Haha.

I can't wait for summer. 10 more school days and the last 5 days I can sleep in for a whole extra hour! Can you believe it? Going to Washington DC for a week and then New York for a little while with my bestest cousin in the whole wide world, EMILY! Scared to go on a plane by myself though. Oh well, this shall be grand adventure to write about. So excited...but don't try to miss me too much while I'm gone. ;)

12 things that make me remarkably happy:

+++

1. Tea parties

2. Spontaneous days out. Just waking up some morning and saying, "Let's go ____"

3. Discovering an awesome new band and listening to their songs over and over again

4. Making cookies just to eat the dough

5. Shiny, freshly painted nails

6. A book you can't for the life of you put down

7. That pink and orange sky just as the sun is setting

8. Smiling so hard your face hurts, but you can't stop

9. Watching cooking shows in the morning, in your pajamas

10. Seeing who can go highest on the swings. Then just closing your eyes and soaring

11. Freshly mowed grass

12. When my room is incredibly clean, it's just unreal! ;)

Gorgeous Movie

I just watched A Little Princess - one of my all-time favorites. I think it has to be one of the most beautiful movies ever! All of the sets and costumes are stunning. It is a timeless story that you can never get sick of. And it has one of the best morals of any movies I know.

"I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us."

Thank you, Frances Hodgson Burnett. Enough said.

After School Snack

ONE BIG BOWL OF ICE CREAM! YUP, THAT WILL DO IT! :)

Happily Ever After

So, I love this song by Jenny Phillips, it really is super good. I love the meaning to the song as well. Here's some of the versus:

Once upon a time

A child was born into this life

Heaven could be seen in her eyes

There was no doubt she was divine

And if you are still you will feel the truth

That the princess in this wondrous story is you

It’s your time

It’s your destiny to shine

So arise

Be true to the royal

That’s inside of you

Don’t settle for the story that

The world would have you write

You were born to reach eternal life

Let faith fill every chapter

Let the Savior lead you to

Happily ever after

Sometimes in your life

The world will cast a spell

And try to make your conscience fall asleep

And forget the woman God would have you be

But if you are still you will understand

The noble role you play in his plan

<3>

Minimal Day :)

Guess what... tomorrow (Monday) is minimal day! Yay!!! Do you know what that means???? It means less time in Biology! I can't even express my happiness right now! :D

Princess Dresses :)

So I pretty much love Allyse's Bridal with a passion. We went to try on prom dresses for YW. All of us felt like princess. We were a little crazy I have to admit, and we didn't follow the "Only 4 dresses per dressing room" rule, but OH WELL!!! We had like 20 dresses in there. :) haha. Yup! Going there again super duper soon, because, well, I can't stay away for too long can I? :D

Once upon a time....

Once upon a time there were two girls named Leanne Chun, and Mikel Merritt. One day after rehearsal they decided to practice their hair for the play. Before they did that they decided to eat a wonderful snack (bananas). There was something wet on the counter and floor so Leanne freaked out and somehow ended up on the floor. As Leanne was ratting Mikel's hair, and was about to finish, she decided that it wasn't going to work out, after about half the bottle of hairspray. It took Mikel forever to brush out the rats (and it hurt too). The end! Haha I love my friends with a passion.
