Finally updating...

Wow, it has been a while since I last blogged. So much has happened! To start with I stay busy with my job at McDonald's, not the best job but it is better than` nothing. The biggest news is that I am engaged, and couldn't be happier about it! The family, not near as thrilled as I am, but his family is quite excited about it! I plan to start blogging as we start planning more. Currently we don't know much, just that we want a vintage oceanish theme. We want to wear natural color Toms that my sister's friend Kala will be painting, and we are considering having the wedding at Applegate Christian Fellowship. I hope that everyone has a great day!

I use to want to be a photographer, well I would still love to, but currently I just take photos for the fun of it. In the past I would take photos of mostly nature, but lately I have been taking photos of people. Here are some photos of Makenzie Ward as well as Kameron Hassler, enjoy(:

trip to Illinois

Recently, I made a trip to Normal, Illinois as well as Chicago. I was there for nine days for the national softball championship. There was one hundred nine teams there and we took forty-ninth, which isn't bad. Once we were done with the tournament we went to Chicago and spent the day there. It was a day of shopping and sight seeing. Personally, I love shopping, but you can't beat sight seeing. All the beautiful buildings in such an amazing city, I could have just sat in downtown and looked at the beautiful sights. I took many pictures when i was there, so here are a few of them for you to enjoy.

not quite as expected..

This weekend I went camping with my sister Eryn, my father and Kameron. At first I was so excited, because I hadn't gone in so long! Soon after heading out of town I realized it wasn't going to be what I expected. We headed down to Castle Crag and set up our tent. Soon after the tent was set up we got back in the car and headed down to in-n-out. Once we got back right away my sister and father decided to leave. They went on a hike for hours! It was good to spend time with Kameron, he worked on teaching my guitar. Pretty much that entire day I was attempting to learn. He started to teach me the song big jet plane by Angus and Julia Stone. Once my father and sister got back I just got told how I do nothing right and basically told I wasn't wanted there. This was proven every time they went anywhere and I tried inviting myself. Well on the bright side I got a lot of practice on the guitar, but I also got eaten alive by mosquitoes. Now I itch, but more than ever I am glad to be home! I hope that everyone else had a better weekend than I did, and if you didn't I am truly sorry!

graduation number three, i missed :(

As sad as it is, I missed North Valley's graduation! I really wish I could have been there to see friends from there walk, but my grandma and cousin just got into town and I haven't seen them for two years! So I needed to meet them and spend some nice time with them. But to all the graduates at North Valley, I am sure it was a great graduation, and congratulations to all of you! I love you!(:

graduation number two, check

So last night was Kameron's graduation. I am so proud of him. I know how hard he worked to make sure he graduated.It was so great to see that did it! I had never been to Gladiola's graduation before, so I didn't know what it was like at all, but it was nice. They said such nice things about each student and made it a very special personal thing. It was different than most graduations. They had teachers, and other faculty talk about students, which was really nice. I enjoyed it and enjoyed the time i got to spend with kameron's father, step mother, and mr. michael tinsley(:

graduation number one, check

Last night was Hidden valley High School's graduation. I grew up in Applegate, so I was suppose to go there, until I moved to Grants Pass. It was crazy to see so many kids that I grew up with say goodbye to high school. It was amazing to see how far people have come since we were in elementary school together. It was nice to see. It shows how quickly people grow up. Welcome to a new chapter of your life graduates.
