Thankful

I know i'm a few days late but I would like to do a post of things I'm thankful for. I'm thankful for my health, a house to live in, food, Internet, books, and music.
 
My Family:
I'm extremely thankful for my family. They can drive me CRAZY but I know I wouldn't be anywhere without them. They support me in everything I do and only want the best for me. I know I can always count on them. They each know how to help me in there own ways. My mom gives me amazing advice, my dad knows how to make me laugh no matter how upset I am, and my sister is always there for me even though we are 7 years apart.

My friends and boyfriend:




My friends. I would be no where without them. Nik, Silas, Brittany, Mercedes, Jill, Jayda, Holly, Tayler (my sister!), and my boyfriend Cristhian. I would be no where without these wonderful people. They except me for who I am and would never do anything to hurt me. I know I can trust them and they know they can trust me. I can always have fun with them no matter where we go.

So what are you thankful for?

Braces and New York

It has been a very busky week for me. Monday we had no school so it wasn't to terribly busy I just did some homework and hung out around the house. Tuesday I had school and Girl Scouts at my house. Wednesday I had school and Band practice. Thursday is when it started to get really busy. Thursday afternoon right after school I had to go get braces. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be I mean of course it still hurts but not as bad as everyone was making it sound. Here's what I look like now with my Braces.

On Friday I had school and then my friend invited me to go to the football game with her. it was a playoff game for my high school team (Go Bulldogs!) and we won! I didn't get home till 11:30 because my friend's mom forgot she had to pick us up. On Saturday I went to New York City! I had to wake up at 4am but it was totally worth it. I went with my best friend Holly and we took a charter bus. On the bus I got to watch Brave (great movie by the way) and it only took us 5 hours to get there. We spent most of our day in Times Square. We went to Toys R Us and rode the Ferris Wheel that was INSIDE the store! We also went to Forever 21. It was 4 floors of clothes!! We also went to the Hershey Store and M&M World. Every store in times square had at least two floors and an escalator. For lunch we went to my favorite place in the world Olive Garden! Except it cost 2x more than it usually does! Oh New York prices. Throughout the day we went to Starbucks at least 4 times because we both had less than 5 hours of sleep. The best part though was that people rent costumes and stood in the street and took pictures with people and then would ask for tips. My friend and I couldn't stop laughing there was at least 20 people dressed as Elmo. Some of the costumes were extremely creepy looking though. Here are some pictures from my trip.

HARRY POTTER LEGO'S!!!
More Lego's!
Toys R Us Ferris Wheel Ticket 



Here are some pictures from Times Square. There's also the Orange Juice bottle I got at Starbucks. It was made our of Happiness and Double Rainbows! I couldn't stop laughing when saw it.

Hope everyone had an amazing week!

Will I ever have a break?

It seems that since school has started I haven't had much time to just lay around the house and be lazy. Don't get me wrong that is probably a very good thing, I just feel over worked and really tired sometimes.

High School, as I've said before, is very challenging. I have to study alot for all my classes ans the home work level is crazy! The work level in class is crazy too. Last week I had to leave early to get 3 teeth pulled at the dentist and I only missed half of a class and I still had 4 pages of work to do as makeup work. Ugh and next Thursday I have to get braces so that probably means I'll miss a day or two of school. :/

There is also some perks to being older and in High School. For example last night I got to hang out with my best friend, who goes to a different school, for 6 hours at the mall! Last year my mom would have never ever even thought of letting me do that. I get to hang out with my friends alot more now and I love getting to do that so if having a crap load of homework every night is the price I have to pay for getting to hang out with my friends. I guess I'll be able to handle it.

 This is my Best Friend Brittany. We spent about 2 hours yesterday in the book store in the mall and she found a mask. We were both reading books because we're broke and can't afford to buy any.

Until next week,
~Caroline
