Hello Summer!

It's finally summer!

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while..I'm such a procrastinator and got behind on all of my projects for the last week of school. But I'm done! And I'm officially a Junior! :)

That's definitely going to take me a while to get used to saying!

So here's what's been going on the last few weeks..

Last Thursday we had our Anchor Club Mother Daughter Banquet.

(Anchor Club is a community service club that you have to apply and then be chosen to get in to.)

Everyone dresses up for it and we eat and have a speaker..so here's some pictures from that!

Me and Amy!
We've been best friends since Kindergarten :)

My Sweet Mama!

Holly, Amy, Me, Whitney, and Lindsey

Charlee

 And then that weekend I went to the lake with my family. We put the boat in for the first time this year which is always exciting. After it finally quit raining, we went to the boat ramp and the boat wouldn't crank..just our luck!

Luckily it cranked and it was warm enough to ski :)

Sorry for such a long post!

Hope yall have a wonderful weekend!

I'm loving that tomorrow is the Anchor Club Mother Daughter Banquet!

It's our end of the year banquet that we all get to dress up for and our moms get to come.

This is our picture from last year..I'll have lots to post from tomorrow! :)

I'm loving that I got a job!
My church does a summer day camp for kids in elementary school so I'll be working with that! I'm so excited! :)

I'm loving that there are only

5

And last but not least, I'm loving that this will be my view this weekend..

a relaxing weekend at the lake!

What are you loving?

Mother's Day

Hey Yall!

This week is finally a little calmer than the past 2 weeks!

Only 7 more days of school!

(Hopefully..if I exempt finals!)

Which means 2 tests and 3 projects until I am a Junior! :)

I am SOO ready for summertime!

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day weekend!

I got to spend mine with all of these wonderful women in my life:

My sweet Mama!

Mama Jeri

Jo

Granny, My great grandmother.

I hope everyone else had a great weekend with their family!

Update!

Hey guys!

I'm sorry I've been such a terrible blogger lately! Yes, I am still alive!

With it getting close to the end of the school year, my weeks are CRAZY. And this week is the worst. I'll try to post again this week, but if I don't, I definetly will next week.

I'll be back I promise!

Wavy Hair..Please!

So...I have really straight hair and I've always wished it was curly..

My mom and sister both have curly hair and I've always been so jealous!

In like 5th grade I even begged my mama to let me get a perm but she wouldn't let me. So for years I've been trying to figure out how to make my hair do the "scrunched" look that everyone does when they don't feel like fixing their hair or the "beach waves".

NOTHING would work!

So this week I think I finally figured out a way!

I french braided my hair wet and let it dry over night. In the morning I took it down and put some gel in it and it worked pretty good!

Do yall have any tips on how to do it?

I would LOVE to hear them!

That's what friends are for!

Courtney, Amy, and Me

Today me and my friend Courtney went to visit Amy..

I met Amy in kindergarten and then we went to different schools and met up again in high school and we're best friends again!

Anyways, Amy had surgery last week so we went to hangout with her and hopefully make her recovery a little less boring :)

We took her these cards with some ice cream :)

She was doing great and it was so much fun hanging out together!

I hope everyone's having a good Tuesday! :)

Shopping!!

It's finally my spring break!!

I thought it would NEVER get here!

Over the weekend we went to the lake..it ended up being cold and windy, so we went shopping.

I got some really good deals on cute stuff at Old Navy!

Black Sweater- $2
Blue Top- $5
Tank Top- $10

I love getting good deals!!

They had soooo many cute spring clothes and lots of great jewelry. I wanted to buy everything in there!

Unfortunately, I don't have many plans for the rest of the week. Tomorrow I'm hanging out with some of my best friends so I should have lots of pictures!

Hope everyone's having a great week!

Awanita!

This past weekend I went to Camp Awanita with my church.

It's a church camp in South Carolina with a mud pit and zip lines and all of that fun stuff!

I got asked to be a mentor for the kids that will be joining the church this year and getting to come to youth starting this summer. We had so much fun!

Here's some pictures from the trip:

Some of the boys jumping in the mud pit! They're faces are priceless!

I got thrown in..twice.

Those were actually his slippers..

Top of the mountain! They say you can see 3 states from up there..it's gorgeous!

My confirmation buddy!

Tomorrow is my last day of school before spring break! FINALLY!

I'm so ready to be at the lake this weekend!

What are your plans for the weekend?

Kindness

This weekend I had to write a paper about morals..

We had to come up with 3 morals that we live our life by. So I went to google to look at pictures to give me inspiration.

The main one I wrote about was kindness. When I think of kindness I think of the Golden Rule.

"Treat others the way you want to be treated."

I help teach elementary Sunday School at my church and we say this every week. It becomes kind of routine saying it every Sunday, but I think it's so important. I think everyone should strive to be kind to one another. Sometimes it can be hard to be kind to a person, but whether you like them or not, you never know what they are going through and the least you can do is be kind. Just something as small as saying hey or complimenting someone could make their day!

Most importantly, strive to be someone you would be proud to be.
