sooo these last couple days have been pretty busy...
shopping spree yesterday for the nordstrom sale
got a new kate spade bag yesssssss and some pretty sweet clothes.
not to mention the fact that...

Yesterday Was Kate's 20th Birthdayyyy!! 

"every girl should wear a tiara on their birthday"

and this is for her:

"happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday to 'you would'
happy birthday to you"

...yeah you wouldn't get it

she had probably the coolest cake everrr


then we went to probably the coolest restaurant everrr (the mai kai duhh)

*note the awesome tropical drink menus
kate and dad


tomorrow morning my day consists of church and then we leave for naples for a mini-family vacation
all in all i'd say things have been pretty good lately.

things have been okay lately. today sucked. i always remembered the 4th of July as being so much fun when i was little. this year was a total let-down. a lot of things seem to be really disappointing actually. it's just like everything i knew to be true or right is not. it's weird and really sad. anyways...my blood tests from the doctor came back, not that anyone asked. lol i'm healthy which is good. i got some stomach tranquilizers and some other helpful pills incase it comes back, but im hoping it doesn't. b got really sick last night and didn't get any better today. so if you think of her pray for her because she really isn't good. i don't know i just feel really sad almost all the time. i miss a lot of people who i used to be close to and it seems like everyone is different. i hate it.

anyways on a happy note: it was sunny today! i tanned for a while and swam in the pool in my new bathing suit..yeaaahh.

annnddd paige got a new puppy!!! BRIA is soo cute

aww she fell asleep on me at the beach last night.

sleeping in paige's lap. soo precious.

this just kills me everytime hahahahahaha so not lesbo..just humor.

ok well thats the end of that.

"and i know there'll be a day
when all these things will go away
and the diamond i'm left holding will be You"

so i have found enjoyment in regina spektor
she's pretty much the best ever
and i'll burn you a mix tape of some of her awesome songs
if you just ask.

the reunion with mcclintock and co. went very well
they're all really fun to hang out with
even if we don't really have anything cool to do.
we went bowling last friday
and to steak and shake
then to justin's.

us on the way there

whatttt it is

hahah b bowling

tonight was fun
went to city place with the boys
paige wasn't able to attend =(
but we still had fun
running around in the rain
kava bar at clematis
and eating


me and b on the way to city place

i probably should've been watching the road

hahahahahaah that stupid trolly. we got soaked.

kava makes you a little crazyyyyy

and a little bit tired lol

i've been a lot happier lately
and that alone makes me even happier.

the keane concert was absolutely amazing
if i haven't already told you.
im pretty much obsessed with them now.

work has been really good but filled with too much drama
all in all everythings good though =)

"you are my sweetest downfall
i loved you first,
i loved you first."
--regina yessss

ahh i can't wait 'til paige and i take a roadtrip.
we need to figure out when and where...and who!
this city is making me kind of crazy
and i really just want to drive....
until i end up somewhere awesome.

west palm always makes me smile
andy and steve with two franklins thrown in
yessssssss =)

AND rumour has it that...
there's a serious reunion this friday =)
with mcclintock and co.

the keane concert is tomorrow night...
im really excited about that



you know what else i'm really excited about:
sewing kate some pillows...
in return for an ipod
what a crazy girl, but im not complaining

"sharks are like dogs"
"theriouthsly?"
no one understands our humour
and that's the way we like it =)

hallie and i had a really good conversation tonight
about boys and things of that sort
but not those stupid 7th grade boy conversations lol

i really want to take photography classes somewhere.

i am not into
the idea of living without you
and i am not into
the idea of being without you

things have been okay lately, i guess

my cousins from england and texas are
down which has been a lot of fun and a great
distraction from normal life.

"suzie, you got your A kicked on prom night, BEEEEECCHHH!"
"O KAY KAY KAY"
-only paige-

i wanted to buy that puppy soooo baddd paige!!
but hey, this is the girl speaking who spent $30 in
the rag shop on God knows what! lol

well, i got more hours for work so that'll
keep me busy and increase my checks
which means i'll probably be shopping soon <3

my favorite stephen gave me some good advice
so im trying to stay concentrated on what is to come
and not on how low i feel now; it's still so hard for me

"no one should ever

 feel the way that i feel now"

well well well...i haven't updated in so long but not much has happend to be honest.
i've been sick for five days but i made it to jr.sr. which was a pretty good time. i couldn't eat any of the chocolate fondu which was seriously upsetting. but i guess i was pretty content with my crackers lol and i am feeling a lot better today.

if anyone needs a good diet plan...come down with a stomach virus:
LOSE 5 POUNDS IN 5 DAYS!!

"B, don't eat all of those fritos. i want some when i get better."
"When you get better i'll buy you your own bag of fritos."- my mom
yesssss.

i thought for sure i wouldn't make it to prom but i did!!
my mommy rushed me over to Nordstrom to the makeup artist considering i looked like i had gotten hit by a bus right before prom:
"you sure have your work cut out for you." -thanks mom

looking healthier after hair and makeup:

paige=hottttt

me

oh look at the twins!...yeah no, im not laughing.

paige and B

paige looked like a punk rock princess...loves it.
the parents and my sweetie of course:

nathan looked so hott.com in his tux!!

everyone looked so good at jr.sr. and im excited for the upcoming year, especially our trip to EUROPE as seniors! yessss.

well i gotta go get ready for mother's day lunch. hopefully i can eat.

PS-i've become unhealthily obsessed with jack johnson's newest CD entitled "In Between Dreams"- i'll burn you a copy...no i mean it i will, just ask.

NATESKATE15: i lined up all my animal crackers on my laptop
NATESKATE15: it's like a parade
NATESKATE15: i ate them

i don't know where i would be or what i would do without nathan lyons in my life =)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

today's post is a tribute to the best love story written:

THE NOTEBOOK
now on DVD

"They didn't agree on much; in fact they rarely agreed on anything. They fought all the time and they challenged each other everyday....

....Noah was a country boy, Allie was from the city....

"It's not about keeping your promises, it's about following your heart."
"If you're a bird, I'm a bird."
"I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year."
"It wasn't over, it still isn't over"

....but in spite their differences, they had one important thing in common, they were crazy about each other."
<3333

im updating, although there's not much to say.
homecoming week was really fun but also stressful for some reason
i got to see some fun people tonight which was good.
the talent show was really funny at times but i think the ryan cabrera girl should've won!
im not in the best of moods right now for various reasons =(...oh well.

i had a good thought today, i wanna see how many helium balloons it would take to lift a small child. anyone up for it?

simple life was sooooooooo good kate, way too good.
"just don't touch the engine"
"where's the engine?"

lovess it.

i forgot how much i hate school, but now i remember
lots of fun things have happend since i've updated

i tried real sushi for the first time
ate at baja fresh for the first time
saw white noise (scarrrryyy)
wittnessed a haircut...loves it
got some cake and techno music
all of which included my lovvvee nathan lyons.
i enjoyed getting jamba juice and a red rose at school last week =)

dave bernard im obsessed with your new car.

tonight was my grandma's birthday dinner at pf changs....soo good.
gotta love the fam and a teaspoon of stephen jones.

"stephen where did you learn how to use those chopsticks, is your dad chinese or something?!"
"ummm no, i think i learned....."
"yeah whatever"

bold letters=my grandma
loves it...

"They didn't agree on much.
In fact they rarely agreed on anything.
They fought all the time and they challenged each other everyday....
But in spite their differences, they had one important thing in common,
they were crazy about each other."
-The Notebook 

life has been mostly good to me lately
new years was mostly lame but berit's house was definately ah so fun!
i got to see chaaadd twiggs. one of my favorites. =)
we also had an excellent time taking awesome pictures and re-arranging people's lawn decorations.
then b and i came home to watch the ball drop with stephen and kate...good times.
im working a lot this week which kinda sucks but it means more money which is good.
today was a good day, b and i went to the beach. it was a necessary trip due to paleness.
then we went out to eat with the whole fam and stephen jones (pulled me aside) (that makes me shhooo mad) haha
we're all going to the pub in a little while and nates coming...yessss.
not much else to say, but....
*seee yaaa

the notebook comes out on DVD on february 8th
looky looky a little keepsake:

"I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough."

christmas was excellent this year:
we went to church for christmas eve service and stephen jones joined us which was funnn
christmas morning we all woke up at seven and opened presents which was ah so good.
i got everything i wanted and morrrree.
then we went to my aunt and uncle's house to visit and open more presents and eat really good food...
annndd we got to see dan since it seems like we're not even related anymore lol.
and this break has been flippin sweet..its awesome...its INCREDIBLE.
another plus is i've been shopping like woah.
nate and i have had more time to hang out which has been nice.

<3 new dooney bag

this break has been excellent so far.
tonight i got called in to work and i didn't mind, so i closed with serra.
haha she tripped and fell over a box infront of 345987405894750497 customers.
i saw jase and jeremy at the mall =)
jase said my haircut looked good which made me happy
i went to outback with the fam the other night and saw jesse working there...
and it didn't bother me in the slightest =)
i love that my dad quotes napoleon since i made him watch it today
im kind of hooked on rilo kiley
tomorrow is christmas eve and i get to open my present from nate <3,
even though i already know what it is lol
and paige and i are exchanging, as well.
well, time for me to get some sleep

all the immediate unknowns
are better than knowing this tired and lonely fate
does he love you
does he love you
will he hold your tiny face in his hands?

seeee yaa*

this week is going to be soooo good

we had half of our christmas early because my grandparents will be in England with my aunt and uncle, so we had a party yesterday which was lots of fun.
