High School

Superchick. Look it up.

My brother forgot his gym clothes today. So, me, being the only one at home and the only member of the family with 0 life, ran them up to him. Of course, it had to be during the lunch period when all of the students are out and about. Awesome.

I never thought 3 short months could put so much distance between me and those hallowed halls. But one thing is for sure; I'm never going back.

The scrawny Sophomores chasing one another, the Juniors thinking this all matters, and the Seniors and their unreliability.

The boy and I soon realized how much older we really felt, him especially. We then discovered that, technically, we were trespassing.

Yep. I'm eternally grateful to have closed that chapter of my life.

Heat Wave

Bring on my snow, Christmas lights, fuzzy sweaters, and big blankets.

Hot Chocolate at the end of every day.

Soft silent falling snow.

Christmas music.


This massive muggy heat wave is not my cup of tea. The only good to come of this weather is the stormy nights.

I'm moving to the North Pole

The Longest Last Weeks

Bored? Call a friend? Yeah right.

They're all in classes, moving in, starting their next step in life. Enjoying the new and improved life that comes with loans, grants, scholarships, mac and cheese, twin beds, and roommates.

Me? Oh no, not yet. I work like a dog. Practically living at Old Navy. A couple times I've contemplated spending the night cuddled up in the sweaters to save on gas.

If it weren't for the boy and the friends at work, I truly would have no life....

September 8th couldn't come soon enough.

Spontaeity

"I think I want to move to Salt Lake"

One Week Later

"Hey, I'm transferring to the Gateway Old Navy, cause I got an apartment with my boyfriend on North Temple."

Most of us can only wish to have that sort of drive and desire.

The Date

He knew I had been craving a steak for quite sometime, poor thing had to listen to me whine and grump about it.

So he took me to Texas Roadhouse. And my mouth still couldn't handle the medium rare wonders. So I ate shredded pork and mashed potatoes with enough butter to make my buttons pop.
It was all too soon. I felt like a recovering alcoholic in a wine cellar.

He then put me in his car and fastened a blindfold to my face.

And the rest is irrelevant.

Moving Out





JUST KIDDING



I'm here in good ol' Utah County for a couple more weeks.

My summer has yet to end

Get me out of here.

Chipmunk

The liquid food diet will be the death of me.

Someone bring me a steak

Sunday Morning

Maroon 5.

How does this song come up on a Brad Paisley play list on Pandora?

Long Time No See

It's been a while, but distractions of a summer drawing to a close have captured my full attention.

Got my wisdom teeth out this morning, lovely. I didn't sing, or ramble on like most have on the anesthesia. I simply scolded my mom for going 4 over the speed limit on the way home. Now I'm writing on Loretab. Good luck me.

Yellowstone is full of hidden beauties. I climbed all over the rocks and waterfalls, nearly waded across a river, raced my dad who then ended up scraped and bruised from tripping shortly after throwing rocks at me. Fished and didn't catch anything. Fell in love with the Teton's, climbing them is now on my list of things to do before I'm 30. Witnessed my aunt waking up to fresh mouse droppings on her bed. Witnessed moose (meese?) right outside the cabin window, and experienced a hick town, city population 215, sacrament meeting. Boy was that an experience for the books.

These are only 2 small things, what else has been distracting me you might ask? The boy. The one who tends to hold my wrist rather than my hand to make me feel even more like a child, Explores rocks and waterfalls with me, loves watching movies, shares my love for walks, doesn't understand my fetish for feet, plays one on one basketball with me and doesn't let me win but starts to get extremely aggressive when I come close to beating him. He's the one from Texas that can't comprehend my love and obsession with snow and Christmas time. The one to take on the task of really teaching me to longboard. No matter how many scars I might obtain. (We're up to 4 now) The one who sings at the top of his lungs, then turns timid when he realizes I'm staring. The one who has a cow when I tell his 26 year old friends I'm barely 16. We grocery shop late at night, and, per his request, venture to all of my childhood memory locations.
The one who I'm leaving in less than a month. And am not sure how it's going to pan out.

Maybe one day you all can meet him.

1 Month

Unlike the majority of those I graduated with, I have 1 month until I leave for school. Some have recently left, and most have 2ish weeks. Not me, I've got me a whole month.

Heaven help me

Someone took the remote to my life and put it on pause.

In ways it's a good thing. More time with my family, the boy, and all those at work I love.
I don't see my family much as it is right now, I'm always out at work or with him, maybe I should change that....
I'm with the boy a lot, but with only a month left, can you blame me?
I have a deep down feeling tears will be shed when I leave the Orem Old Navy, I won't get into that now though, spare you the sappiness.

I'm ready for life to move on.

Yet, I know that when the time does come for me to move forward, I won't be ready, and praying for more time.

Sister Lewis




You might think we look alike, and maybe we do. But personally, I have never seen it. To the right is my big sister, the glowing ecstatic missionary. I love her immensely, and I miss her even more. My life has taken so many unexpected turns, and I know that there are many more to come, and I wish she was here to help me through them all. She's probably the only person that could criticize me without me making a snotty remark or comeback. And right now I could use her criticism and wise words. She always has the bigger picture in mind when helping me with my life. I've never been good at that, I tend to live each day, and, regretfully, I disregard consequences. And when I hit bottom she's always been there. She still is, she's not dead you know. But she's extremely far away, and busier than I could imagine. She's happier than she's ever been, and I know that she's doing the best thing she possibly could. Oh, mess with her and I will mess up your face.
