Where Did The Time Go?

Holy sheet. Its already May? Well end of May, start of June. Wow.. Is it me or didi that all come way to fast? It feels like yesterday I was walking around in the snow and now its summer. But Im glad its summer, because thats honestly my favorite time of year. Mostly because thats when we had no school, but now that I cant go, it just feels like another day to me.. Nothing really special about it. But I am excited for this coming tuesday because mom, Tahsha and I are driving to California. But the main reason we are going is for doctor visits at Children's Hospital in LA, but mom wanted to make it fun before the hospital, so we are spending 3 days in Disneyland and 3 at the beach. Then however much longer they need me to stay depends on the doctor.

Ive noticed I have been taking a lot more pictures on my phone lately, so Ive decided to post the newest ones once a week. So here is a bit of an overload of pictures.

 Sleepover with my favorite girl

Anybody else think of Men in Black?

Ate at The Pie for the first time... Nothing that special

Went to my old teams last comp, they won 2nd for all of their dances (:

We had a family get together to meet a new member at Aunt Does house

Took Jessa to discovery for the first time, I think the slides were her favorite.

Spent Lagoon day with the gorgeous Rachel (:

Saw this on the ride up...

Is it me or do cats sleep EVERYWHERE?

I have to much time on my hands... So I've made these based off of some Pinterest ideas

And lastly I spent about 2 hours going through old photos and videos of all of us kids at odyssey. I found a bunch of pictures and videos with Dallin in them, and they still make me cry.. I miss him so much. But at Lagoon I did get to see Alek, so that was good. 

But um.. I guess it's summer now?

Spring Break 2013

This years spring break has been my favorite by far. It was such an amazing trip for me. I got to fly out to South Carolina and spend the week with my best friend Kathryn. Before this trip we had never met in person before, and we may have only met 7 or 8 months ago (over instagram) but I feel like I have known Kat my whole life. I never actually thought that I would get to meet her in person. I always thought that it would never happen, that it was just a dream. But soon enough my 29 days were over, and I was on a plane for 7 and 1/2 hours. I was so excited to get to meet my best friend in person for the first time. After being together for a few hours, I was surprised that it wasn't awkward between us. There were no awkward silences, no regret of me going out there, nothing. I was so glad. We both felt so comfortable around each other that it didn't feel weird for us. But back to the trip:

Wednesday I got to do a TON of shopping, meet Reece and Lindsay, got to go to Fuse at Newspring (WHICH WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE) then we all four had a sleepover.
Thursday (Moms birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!) I ate Grits for the first time (pretty good), Kathryn broke her toe :( , we went shopping with Madison, then did a whole bunch of nothing. We were exhausted  Plus it was very cold from all the rain that day.
Friday Kat, her mom and I drove to Charleston and did more shopping, ate dinner at Hymans, then drove to Susan's beach house for the night.
Saturday we spent the majority of the day at the beach. It was so pretty! But not many people.. Well lots of old people and their dogs. Sadly Kathryn and I fell asleep on the beach and got bad sun burns. But Kathryn slept with her shorts on... now she has pale skin shorts forever. After our day at the beach we went back to Kathryn's house for the night so I could pack up.
Sunday was... well it sucked. We had to wake up at 4:30 in order to drive to the airport and make it in time for my flight. But it was difficult to stay awake. At the airport... we probably hugged each other for about ten minutes while crying. I cant believe that my week with my best friend was over that fast. But I'm so glad that I got to finally meet her in person. Its sad to know that our spring break together was over that fast, but I'm just excited for her trip out here and for when I go out there again.

But anyways. Jet lag is horrible.. I feel like I have the flu, I slept the majority of the day and didn't (and still haven't  gotten out of bed. Like honestly how do people deal with this? It sucks.

It's Already March?

It's weird for me, thinking back to the beginning of 9th grade. I thought it would be an amazing year. I had great classes, loved all my teachers, top locker and good friends. I never thought that I would only get to experience 2 and 1/2 months of school. Let alone be diagnosed with this mystery of a disease and have to stop going to school. But this all have taught me quite a bit.
Firstly: you really learn who your real friends are. They're the ones always checking up on you, making sure your doing good and there when you need them.
Second: my mom is Super Woman. End of story. She's always there for me and even when I feel like giving up looking for answers, she still looks. I don't know what I would do without her.
Third: it can be hard to stay positive all the time, but I try. I see every hospital visit as another hospital bracelet/ name tag to add to my chain of many. I take every blood draw as more vials to add to my list. So far Im at 31. I was counting how many needles and shots Ive gotten, but Ive lost track. I just remember getting 66 shots on Halloween. Worst experience. Im honestly surprised that I didn't punch the nurse in the face. I was in a bad mood, give me a break.
But anyways. Back to whatever.
