Suuuuuuunday

Today I got up late & did chores & homework pretty much all day. My grandparents had guests for a few hours, and so I finally got to meet the adorable old lady who knits me slippers every year! Just because she is friends with my grandma she has knitted me slippers for the past few years and it's so sweet.

I also did a drawing (obviously inspired by the movie I saw last night...)

And I Skyped with the Katie Bug!!! Miss you, girlie! <3

Sweet Sweet Sixteen

So today was the best day ever. Seriously. I woke up and went to school, where my awesome classmates had put up balloons, a banner that said "Happy Birthday", and a type of cookie called "Zimtsterne" that is never had before. Then two girls from my class and I went to Starbucks for lunch just cause.

When I came home I unwrapped my presents from my friends/family back home and was super surprised. Thank you Katie, Miranda, and Grammy Susan!

I went to dinner with my grandparents and aunt and uncle and cousins, whence was super nice. Lara and I danced around outside to loud music afterwards. (I look like I'm in pain but I'm actually very passionately singing to Taylor Swift. I promise.)

Then I came home and unwrapped my presents from my Mom & Dad & Gage. Thank you all so much!

Pretty much the best birthday in the history of ever. <3

Pretty day

Today I noticed when I was going home how gorgeous the sky looked. So naturally I had to take a picture. I also just missed the train, so I had 15 minutes to burn, but that's totally not why I took a picture. 

I'm pretty sure since it's no longer summer vacation the weather has just decided to be gorgeous. 

Tonight I Skyped with Katie. I miss everyone!

Goodbye, Montana

These past few days have been crazy packing and saying goodbye to friends and family. 

But now the adventure begins! Katie came with me to the airport to say goodbye... And I cried... 

And now we are just sitting in the airport in Glacier waiting for our flight, which leaves in an hour and a half. Blech. 

Look! Airport picture!!!

End of the Year

All of a sudden everyone has literally gone crazy. I swear.

We only have one more day of school left, so naturally everything that didn't get done during the school year absolutely must get done now. Asap.

So yesterday I went to church choir practice for the first time, and we had some cake... It was pretty awesome. And before I left, some people gave me cards. I opened then when I got home, and I was super touched that the wonderful people in that choir decided to give me some jewelry and some money (?!). It was super sweet, and totally unexpected. So that was fun...

Then today was the second-to-last day of school, so in all of my classes we either took tests or partied. We had a breakfast party in Choir, that was awesome...:) Hey, but it's Friday!!!

Tonight I get to hang out with Katie, and tomorrow I get to have a party with all of my old grade school friends to say goodbye. Only eight days until we leave!
Bye!

Never mind, sleeping in is amazing

Friday: School, bonfire at a friends house... While we were there we found a baby bird, maybe only a few hours old. It had fallen out of it's nest and it looked like an alien. It had no feathers or fur, and it's eyes were covered with skin.

Saturday: I slept in until noon. It was Wonderful... Then I hung out with Katie and we went out to get coffee. #suchwhitegirls

Sunday: Today is my voice recital... Lots of family is coming, and then we are having a "goodbye" dinner for me since I won't see everyone for a year.
