For a Moment Like This

So, life's been alright! Rachel has started me doing a new thing in my journal. Basically, you write everyday about something you're thankful for in that day. Swag, haha! I'm doing pretty good in my classes. (90 and above, baby!) It's great! Tennis season just ended, so I officially have a life now. Man, I love tennis. If any of y'all want to learn how to play, call me up. Seriously, if I could go playing right now, I soooo would. A phantom thing came last night with goodies. Can you say yum? Over the weekend there was a family reunion and it was so rad. I hung out mainly with Madelyn and Heidi. I was so full. There was way too much good food I almost died. After that, I hung out with Aunt Lois' family because they are the bomb. I love them (so cool).
So, Hannah is a hot mess. Anyways, she tagged me in a post about doing eleven things. I like doing them so it works, but I'm going to break some of the rules anyways. ;)

Rules:
The five rules of the game are:
1. Each person must post 11 things about themselves.
2. Answer the 11 questions the nominator asked.
3. Create 11 questions for your nominees to answer.
4. Choose 11 people and link them in your post.
5. No tag backs

11 things about me:

1. I love my family with all my heart. I'm one of those people if you don't respect them, then my respect for you goes to zero.
2. I am a sophomore. This semester I'm taking APEURO, Spanish 1,Yearbook, and H. Algebra 2.
3. I discovered that I am in love with tennis. One reason I like it is because I can have an intelligent conversation about it with my Granddad Jerry. Another is because the girls are legit and how it is individual and teamwork. (and it is so fun, without feeling like a walla beast after I'm done)
4. I love being Mormon. It's a part of me. It is the best thing that's ever happened to me. #mormon.org
5. Even though my childhood was messed up, I have grown a lot from it. My siblings and I are like *this*. We are really close and we have an awesome bond. I hope that I can make right decisions and do what is right for my future family.
6. I'm 15 almost 16, we know what that means ;) haha. If you don't..."Ask the Missionaries! They can help you!" - Russell M. Nelson
7. I am in love with my smile! :D eeeeeee! 
8. I love talking with people at night. I don't know, it just feels like no one else can hear us. hahahahaha!!
9. I want to go make some cookies.
10. Well, I stress out really, really easily, it's not cool and definitely one of my weaknesses. I also really don't like being yelled at.
11. Before I die, I want to: Ride a Carousel, Get married in the Temple, Run in a Color Me Rad race, Go to a Carolina Baseball game, Go somewhere in England (Italy (: ), Go to a phenomenal museum, and Earn my Young Women's Recognition Award.

 

 

Answers to Hannah's Questions: 

1. How did you come to blog? My sister, Rachel, told me I should do one whenever she went off to college. I started out posting about once a month, but then I got caught up in life. Typical right.
2. What is/are your favorite book/books? Hmmm, Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. It's a childhood favorite. My sister, Katie, read some of them with me. Even though I know what is going to happen, I love it. Beauty by Robin McKinley is really close though. I also like Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. It's fancy.
3. Who do you miss being around? My family. None of this step-sibling business, my legit siblings. I love having late night talks talking about the most serious things, to the most ridiculous things. All of them are examples to me. I love what makes them, them.
4. What is your favorite food? Oh my gosh, who asks this question, teehee.Well, I love my Aunt Lisa's Mashed Potatoes. I remember when I first had them when I went to hang out with Madelyn, I couldn't have enough. To die for.
5. What is/was your favorite job (or the one you hated least)? Well, I haven't really worked, but I enjoy babysitting. I really want to get a job this coming summer though!
6. What is your favorite hanging out activity? Tennis. Just Kidding, I'll stop with my tennis nerdiness. I enjoy laughing my butt off about something, and doing new things. Sitting around isn't really my favorite, but if it includes laughing my butt off, it becomes the best.
7. What motivates you to get out of the bed in the morning? SEMINARY (whoa, heck to the no, haha) My future, what I will become. I feel like one day I am going to do something important and that I make a difference. My sisters help too. Whenever I get loving stuff from them, I just want to accomplish something amazing and heartwarming.
8. Where is your favorite vacation? Lake Anna. My family used to go there every year to visit my grandparents. We would have soda at every meal, water ski, play Hit the Beach, "Oh No,99", Muggins, have story time, play with some of the toys (maybe that was just me...), catch up with family that lives in Virginia, stay up late, guaranteed a float, eating amazing food and other stuff that I miss.
9. Do you like pictures being taken of you? Yes! I love being able to look back and be like, 'aha, I remember that!'
10. How do you keep track of important things? I write them down somewhere I know I'll look. I never use the school agenda book. I'd like to use sticky notes, but I haven't gotten there yet.
11. Why did you end up participating? My sister, Hannah, sent me a text being like yo, you should do the post thing. (and she's just awesome, so you know... how could I say no)
