New Surfer Girls In Town!

Personally I'm not a big fan of the ocean. It creeps me out when you cant see the bottom of the ocean floor and at any given moment you have no idea what is going to happen.

I love to surf though. I love surfing with my aunt Angie, we are total surfer girls in a work of progress. I also like to surf with my friend amber, that is how i started surfing! The feeling when your on your board about to go over a wave that looks huge and you don't know if your going to go under, flip over, get toppled, or make it over. That burst of fear your get when the wave is coming towards you is so exhilarating. When your paddling with all your might hoping to catch this upcoming wave, not wanting to look back it fear of what you might see but, as soon as that wave carries you and your board and as you stand up it is the best feeling you can get out there! Or when you standing on your board and you realised you are standing to far up on it and it starts to tip forward and you know your going under and theres nothing you can do about it...... it kinda gets you even more determined to get the next wave you catch right. Or if you just in the water with no board and you gently rock over the waves going up and down like a roller coaster, or when a big wave is coming and you dive into it and feel the wave go through you under the water in your face, then you come up from out of the water not sure what your going to see. After a couple of times i do that i start to picture a shark right in front of me and that's when i know its tim to get out.

My favorite part about the beach is walking or running on the shore either with a friend or family member to talk or just yourself to gather you thoughts. Its the perfect place to think with the sound of the waves in the background or just to look for sea shells.

I never used to like the ocean but now I'm starting to like it a little more. Expeccally since its one of the things i get to do with my aunt! Everybody at the beach better watch out for the new surfer girls in town!

Change

"If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." ~Mary Engelbreit

I half and half agree with this quote.

I agree with it because:

1. i think if you don't like something you should change it, you shouldn't just wait for it to change on its out you have to do something yourself if you want it.

I disagree with it because:

1. If you cant change something it wont necessarily be good if you changed the way you thinked about it because then u could be throwing something away. Nobody probably knows what I'm talking about, but it do. You cant change your opinion on something and you definitely cant change a person...... But what if something didn't really change inside but it did on the outside it just looked different, it could be permanent or not.

If something changes either for the better or for the worst it has to be for a reason...... right?

So what did u think of your trip, did u have fun, do you like it there?

So what did u think of your trip, did u have fun, do u like it there?

Everybody is asking me that lately. Hmmmm well yeah i had fun with my cousins and my aunts and uncles, but i came home early. Why you ask..... well i don't really do whys but it is because i got so scared i saw my life flash before me *wink*. But i was so scared. I can still hear the sirens in my head. They went off three times, that means walking up and down the basement stairs three times, freaking out three times, calling my mom and family and friends several times along with texting and resisting myself from opening the door and running down the street in panic *laugh.* So as the second alarm came on, i cracked and paniced and demanded that i wanted to come home. Just the memory of the sirens and sitting in that cold dark basement which wasn't really a basement is still freaking me out. The fact that it wasn't really a full on basement didn't make me feel safe at all. I don't even want to tell u my toughts about if the tornado came over the house, what would happen...... i don't even want to think about that anymore. Everybody keeps saying that it happends all the time and there is nothing to panic about, that people sit out side and watch it like its some kind of comedy show that they stay up all night to wait for it to come on, but in this cause it only comes on once a mouth. Telling me that a house roof being torn off and a bunch of trees being blown out of there roots, spin in the sky for a little while and then come back down isn't a big deal....... well then your just crazy. There were 3 tornado's that day.... 1 is way to many for me let alone 3.

Other than that i realy enjoyed hanging out with my cousins and met some new ones too. I enjoyed hanging out with my aunt Naomi too we had a blast, expeccally with her soon ( not really haha jk). The first couple of nights i slept over at Jodi's with Anna in her huge house which was soo cool. We had a blast and stayed up SOOO late. Me and Anna got matching pj shorts at TARGET( which im actually wearing right now) and we just instantly clicked. On my last night i slept over at Linnea's which was fun, i did some singing with her family which i loved. Her mom is so nice and sweet and we talked for a while her whole family is pretty cool, i enjoyed it and hope to keep in touch with all of them. Today me, Anna and Linnea all went to the mall of America and got matching scarfs and shopped and don't forget took a bunch of pictures, it was a BLAST. I'm definitely going to miss them, they have to come to sandiego. I definitely see us as the 3 cousins that are best friends forever! There is still some people i wish i could of seen, meet or hung out with them more. Oh well just means i will have to come again, ONLY IF IT IS NICE WEATHER THE WHOLE TIME. Hope everyone has fun at the reunion without me!

Overall the answer to your guys question is that i did like Minnesota i like it there a lot, its way different from sandiego i definitely liked the change. I just hate the tornado's. Maybe i can figure something out so i wont be so scared! Bye luv y'all and miss y'all, till next time!

Extra Baggage

Why can us girls/ ladies never figure out what we are going to wear? Why does it take so long and why don't most guys have the same problem? It always takes me a long time to figure out what I'm going to wear unless i already know exactly what i want to wear and i know i absolutely like it.

Its the night before i go to Minnesota and the thing that has been on my mind the most is what I'm going to wear on the plane. I don't know if i want to wear jeans, sweats, yoga pants, shorts or a t-shirt, sweater, tank top etc. I have the same issue with packing i never lay out matching out fits i just through in clothes i like and hope i can find something that matches to wear when I'm on the trip. Same with like jewelry and activities i just take stuff and throw it in. I never use even half the things i pack when i go on trips.

I really hate this about myself because i know I'm a very organized person but when it comes to clothes and packing i cant figure it out. Its like my mind goes insane and it says " oh ya i could use that, or i like that throw it in." Even though in the back of my head i know I'm not going to use it I'm just adding extra weight to my baggage. =/

Busy Busy Busy

So i have this calendar on my computer and i put all my things and stuff coming up that i do. This month is so packed from, volleyball and horse back riding to school starting and fun events from hanging out with my aunts and uncles to going to Minnesota. Just to think its going to get even busier with school starting. In September i am going to start acting again along with voice lessons for the musicals. Its going to be hard balancing school, volleyball, horses and acting/voice along with family and friends and don't forget just like cleaning my room and hanging with my dog and that kind of everyday stuff too. But i like being busy, i hate not being busy. If I'm not busy i HAVE to find something to do. I think being this busy will be good for me and i think i can totally handle it! I really want to make the varsity volleyball this year and we have tryouts starting tomorrow for three weeks, three days a week for three hours. But I'm missing three days of tryouts because I'm leaving to Minnesota. I really hope it wont effect what team i get on!!!! Well i have a really busy life ahead of me and i think I'm going to like it. I'm starting to hang out a lot more with like my aunts and uncles and cousins and i really like that and want to keep it up so it will definitely be apart of my busy schedule. Looking forward to it. Just hope it wont go wrong. Well I'm off to bed because i have to rest for tryouts tomorrow from 9-12 AM!!!!!!!!!

Goodnight everyone!

Homeless Animals

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."- Author Unknown



I always get sad when i see a homeless person with a homeless dog. I always feel bad for the dog because the dog cant do anything about it but the person could try and get a job. I always feel like hopping out of the car and taking the dog to a human society but, then again the dog is probably the man/women's best friend and the dog and the person would be really sad if they were separated. I would be really upset if my dog was taken away from me and i would do anything to make sure that wouldn't happen. I was talking to my aunt earlier and i asked her what she did today she said that she volunteered with washing homeless peoples dogs at an event that her friend put on. If they do the event again i would love to volunteer with my aunt next time. I feel like we should help with animals in anyway we can, they deserve to live and be happy just as much as humans.

Black and White Photograpy

Recently I've been really interested in black and white photography. I really like the simple images or the images of roads and expressions. Threes so many great photographs i haven't found my absolute favorite black and white photo but I'm still looking for it. Here are a couple that i found that i really like:

Santosh Korthiwada- No peeping please
I really like this one because i like how it shows emotion and you can see just in his eyes what hes feeling.


Sally Mann- Candy Cigarette
In this one i like how it tells a story and it doesn't just show emotion but it shows beauty.


Unknown- Birds
In this photo it seems like it was taken at the exact angle, time and lighting. I love the concept of the photo it is definitely one of my favorites.


Unknown- Ghost Town Charm
In this photo i think it shows how something so run out and old still has a pretty side and can be a diamond in the ruff.


If i find my absolute favorite black and white photograph ill post it!!!

Thinkin'

Right now I'm sitting in my room listening to Taylor Swift with the background sounds of the neighbors outside and my dog snoring. I am debating if i should watch one of my favorite movies or read a book called "the girls." I'm just thinking and reflecting on my day and think about things. I went to the ranch today and haven't been sense the first week of summer. I really miss it there, don't know why i haven't been in so long. It was really hot and a little boring but still fun to see everyone. I wanted to go see and say hi to all the horses i missed but didn't get a chance to.... oh well! Friday happy trails is going to be in a parade I'm not going but everybody i know is. While i was at the ranch i got a text that made my day and gave me a big smile. Nothing really new has happened. Friday i slept over at Amber's and we got locked out by her brother for two hours, and no we did not have our phones because we are stupid. We ended up drinking water out of the hose and were planning our survival plan if we had to sleep out there. Saturday amber and i babysat my cousins Finn and Scout they were perfect angles. Sunday we went to the Hilton with my aunt and uncle, i met my cousin Jordan for the first time which felt like i already knew her because we talk all the time. I saw my great uncle too who's in town, he is crazy.... in a good way. Monday i didn't do anything and here we are for today. I'm looking around my room at all the pictures and surprisingly there all horse pictures i have a couple non horse ones that i want to put up. I don't like just sitting here so I'm going to spell check this and go do something to keep me busy. Just wanted to put an update feels like i haven't posted in a while.
