Back to Organization

Time to get everything back in order and ready for school.

Just a few things on my to do list:
1.) Get my closet cleaned up and cleaned out.
2.) Get my desk nice and neat.
3.) Get all of my school supplies ready for the first day.
4.) Put all boxes, user guides, etc from my laptop and laptop accesories in a safe place.
5.) Put all of my new summer pictures either in frames or on my memo boards...or in a photo album.

I have definitely let my room stay not so organized this summer...but it's time to get back to organization. So that's what I'm going to start working on this afternoon.

Happy Wednesday! :)



P.S. - Finally got my summer reading book today...wish me luck! Ha!

Day of Shopping!

I had one of my last few shopping days of the summer today!! Mall, Bridge Street, and Red Robin for lunch!! :) Got a few things I've been looking for. I have had trouble finding dress code appropriate clothes for school this year though. Now don't get me wrong, I don't go around showing everything I have. Promise! But, all the summer clothes either seem to be

1.) One shoulder - super cute.
2.)Strapless - comfortable and cool for the summer.
3.) Not 3 fingers wide (talking about tank tops)
4.) Too short - for a girl with long legs like me everything looks shorter than it really is.
5.) Racer back

Everything seems to violate the dress code one way or another. :/ But, I have found several things I can make work for these really hot days...so I am thankful for that!

Below are some of the things I wish that we could wear to school....




See...nothing bad!! Just cute summer clothes. But, unfortunately all of those things are not in the dress code. It is what it is. Haha


Annnnnd....here is my drape picture!! Nothing says SENIOR more than the traditional drape pic! Ha. (A little blurry and distorted on here...but not in person.)

This time next week...

Yep, it's true. This time next week I will be sitting in a classroom (probably like 3rd period). It will be my last first day of high school with MANY new things coming my way. It's back to homework, studying, & teachers...but also friends and making more memories. I really want to make this year count. I don't want to look back and have regrets about Senior year. After all, it is my last chance!

Wow. I can't even imagine what all is going to take place this year. Everything I do this year in high school...will be my last. That is kinda scary!

Happy Monday!

Wireless Printer!

Well, it's officially the last week of summer before school starts! Hope it's a good one!

I did get a wireless Cannon printer yesterday. It's all set up in my room and working just fine with my laptop...which I still LOVE! :) We went out with the family to celebrate my granparent's 50th anniversary last night. Went to church this morning, and now just relaxing at home. This is our last week of Summer Connections at church...back to normal Sunday nights next week!

I think I'm getting ready for fall. I have NEVER wanted to see summer end, but this year I'm really thinking fall sounds nice! I'm kinda getting ready for some football! And those cool fall days.

Have a great week!

No Power, No Sleep

Yesterday was my last day of my summer job! I had it all planned out to sleep in late this morning...but that didn't work at all. It was very stormy here last night. I went to bed around 10:30....and by 11:30 pm I was up for pretty much the rest of the night/morning. Why? Because we lost power, and when we lose power, I don't sleep. I HAVE to have my air purifier to sleep. I can NOT sleep without it. The second it goes off, I wake up. It's just something about that sound! Haha. So this morning around 5 (after tossing and turning all night), I decided I would just give up. Needless to say, I only got about an hour of good sleep last night. This morning, we went and got Jack's for breakfast. Then we headed to my Mema and Granddaddy's house...they had power. :) We took our stuff to get ready for the day. I had a hair cut appointment this afternoon, and we also did some school supplies shopping. We got power back around 2:45 this afternoon!

On another note, Mom and Dad bought me a laptop, and it came yesterday!!! I was so excited to get it. I absolutely LOVE it! :)

Happy Friday Eve!

Senior Pics!

Here are just very few of my Senior pictures. All credit goes to Melissa Robinson. She did an amazing job, and I'm sooo glad it worked out where we found her! We did the session at a local park in the extreme heat! But, you can't even tell we spent 2 hours in over 105 degree heat index. I am very pleased with all the pictures. My prints actually came in yesterday, and they look great. Now, my Presitge pictures on the other hand....are HORRIBLE!!!! We have to get our drape and casual shot done by them for the yearbook. I am not happy with those at all. They wouldn't let me smile as much as I wanted to. I even ASKED to smile...but they said no! :( So, I'm only smiling in very few. OH WELL!






























Be on the lookout for more Senior picture stuff! :)



I only have a few more days of work, and I'll be done for the summer! Plan on spending the next couple of weeks shopping, swimming, and probably reading...because I have yet to begin my summer reading. Ha!



Have a great LAST WEEKEND in July!!! :)

It's been awhile...

So, summer is just about gone, and I haven't blogged the first time! BUT, I've had an amazing summer and stayed super busy! I was gonna upload tons of pics, but Blogger is giving me an error...so that will have to wait.

My beach trip with Laura was AMAZINGLY GREAT!! Sooo much fun. I could go back to the beach right this second!

I've been working for my dad this summer answering phones and doing paperwork at the store he manages. Thankful to be able to make some money!

I'm actually not dreading going back to school...as of right now. Haha:) I think I'm excited about SENIOR year! Just about done with highschool! Gotta make this year count!

Speaking of SENIOR...I got my senior pics taken and absolutely love them!! (Not the ones the school did, but the ones where I chose the photographer.) We spent 2 hours out in the super hot weather...as in around 110 degree heat index! But it was SO fun & definitely more than worth it. The pics turned out great. I'll share those soon!

I'll try to post all my recent pictures soon!
