My family just got back from Disneyland. It was a short trip but very fun and very worth it. A plus is that it wasn't that crowded at all. We went on all of the rides that we wanted to go on and ate all of the things that we wanted to eat.

This was my all time favorite food there. Monte Cristo Sandwiches. MMMMMMM. Yummy! Ham and cheese sandwiches, deep fried even. Tell me this doesn't look good. :)

Disneyland was so much fun. A long drive, but so much fun! Aaaaand guess what.......we bought annual passes so we can go whenever we can. I am so excited. We are planning to go again in the fall I think. The rides were so much more fun this time. Mostly because my little sister is finally tall enough to ride most of the rides. She even rode Tower of Terror. Do you know what she said afterward? "Lets do it again!!!" Ha-ha she's a silly goose.

School, School, School. Only 6 more days for me. I'm pretty psyched! After this trip I'm sure I have a ton of homework, but hey, it's only for a little bit right? Oh! And Psych season 5 comes out in a couple of days. I think..... that's what my dad said anyway.

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.
