29 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW TO SURVIVE THE TEENAGE YEARS

I graduate high school on friday. Let me say it again, I GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL ON FRIDAY.
Graduation is sure to be a blast. I cant WAIT to sit for two hours, listening to kids that did really well in school, address us kids that did really awful in school.

My brother left on his mission, this past wednesday. Words could not describe the way I felt, watching my family hug for one last time, and wave goodbye to our oldest brother. Every sentimental feeling inside of me melted into a puddle and came pouring out of my eyes.

But to be honest, Im kinda sick of jake thinking he can steal all the attention...

Since the day I was BORN, it was always about jake. Was it a special day, that june morning when Indy Blue entered the world? Of course, it was the day little jakey became a brother!

Sometimes to slow time down, we go

Get cupcakes and watch baseball games  and go to the movies. (I will probably continue to do this by myself because it's become a weekly habit of ours)

I finished my junior year, which was absolutely bizzarre. I swear I blinked, and all of the sudden I was a senior with a hot boyfriend. I might have briefly discussed how amazing mysophomore year was. But I really don't think you could have given me a better first year of high school.

Jackson Dunford or more famously known as JDUN

he likes manly things of course, like hitting people really hard in football.

but he wont tell you that he watches the bachelor with me every week.

he loves christmas lights, and flannels and pop tarts. 

I hit my stride at the beginning of 2013, and I realized high school was awesome. I was such a high school kid my sophomore year and I sincerely loved it. It might have been because i made friends with some seniors that made school worthwhile. I went to st. george, watched too many baseball games, went stag to nearly every dance, read the Harry Potter series more times than healthy, and finally school ended.

2013 started off horrible.

(taylor, shout out to you baby.

but here i am, on the same day i was exactly a year ago and its almost adorable, now, to think about.

and all I can say is 2013, was easily the best year of my life. Can't wait to see how this one turns out.
