..summer&books

So I've been reading a lot lately.. actually, I've been reading in every minute of spare time I've had lately. I'm just in that mood where all I want to do is read a book while I drink a roxberry smoothie, you know? Anyway: I just finished reading Divergent and the sequel, Insurgent, by Veronica Roth.. needless to say I am going through serious withdrawals. The last book in the trilogy won't be released until Fall of 2013 and I almost had a meltdown when I discovered how long I have to wait for my life to continue.. okay, maybe that's a tad melodramatic.

I'm probs going to start reading The Host now, but as soon as I finish that, I'll need some new books to read. Suggestions below, please. :)

P.S. Last night could have easily blown up in all of our faces... but it didn't. It was actually pretty grand.

 

'i want' summer..

I want to have a stinkin' awesome summer. I want to finish my bucket list. I want to grow up and move on. I want to do yoga. I want to get snow cones with my best friends and watch movies and have marathons. I want to work & earn money to maybe to to Europe next summer. I want to go to the gym and get fit. I want to go to midnight showings and dress up for them. I want to have classy dinner parties and tea parties and eat crepes. I want to hold hands with the boy I like and drink chocolate milk. I want my best friend to come home. I want to take pictures and blog and pinterest... all summer long. 

I'm going to Relax. Chill out. Go by my gut.

..this summer will be a tea party

carefree summer..

if you were to measure all of the drama in my life, like physically measure it by the tablespoon, you would probably make it to the moon and back... twice.

I consider myself to be a pretty understanding person. Sure, I'm blunt and brutally honest 99% of the time, but some things I just cannot wrap my head around.

There are times in my life when I thrive in the drama and I live to know secrets, but other times (like now, for instance) when everything is piling on top of everything else and I can't escape it, it is too overwhelming. Summer is supposed to be carefree, and starting now: mine will be.

prom..

I went to Prom on Saturday..

I went horseback riding with some of my closest friends, and we rode 4-wheelers. I roped a wooden calf... and I rocked it. The horses I rode were named Chili Bean and Sexy Beast..

I got all glammed up for my date. My sister did my makeup and my mom fixed my dress. I curled my hair and put on my jewelry. I slipped on my sandals and anxiously waited for that fateful knock at the door..

Then he came. I pinned on his boutonniere and he slipped a beautiful corsage into it's place on my wrist... then he called me beautiful.. My mom got her chance to embarrass me whilst taking one million pictures of us together in front of the window..

He opened the door for me always, and we had nice conversations in the back of Jordan's truck..

We had a delicious dinner in a beautiful home with sparkling beverage and salad forks. We laughed about funny things and I learned how to put out a candle with my bare hands. We had Strawberry Trifle and Oreo Cheesecake for dessert, before leaving for Sleepy Ridge..

We blasted ABBA all the way to the dance and he opened the door for me again. We headed into the Clubhouse and danced the night away. It was my favorite dance to date. I had so much fun with Jared. We blasted ABBA and Imagine Dragons on the way back home and he walked me to my door..

We hugged goodnight and I thanked him for the best day ever. I truly had a wonderful time and I couldn't have asked for a better prom..
