Biking with no hands!!

Haha this past Spring/Summer, almost every day, Renzo and I would go on a little bike ride and chat as sometimes we picked up more people along the way and ended up having a group of people biking around town in a little herd. We had so much fun!! I miss biking ever so much.

Along with biking came with competition... of course. I always sucked at riding no-handsies, but Amber and Renzo were the best. They would always show me up. I wish I could've seen this video earlier so I could practice and own their butts while we rode!!! Hahah.

Music.

Soooo as of late I've been listening to some nice acoustic music. Including this beaut of a song.

My friend was learning it on the guitar and I wish I was talented enough to play the guitar.

I have been missing the sound of music constantly around the house, with Sether been gone and all, the house is pretty quiet. I have, however taken up the art of the ukulele. Hahahahah I know a couple of songs, and I'm sure I bug the shizniz out of my mother as I walk around the house strumming those 4 little strings and singing at the top of my lungs. Hey, it makes me feel good, so whatever!! I have been trying to play the guitar, but I still kind of suck. A lot. Haha, my hands are too little!! Or I am just used to a little fretboard. I think I'll stick to guitar hero. :)

Me and the good ol' ukulele.

Another music related thing that I really REALLY want is to go to the Dallas Green concert in Calgary in January. Like I would do anything to go to that. MAN!!! I loooooove City and Colour. Sooo bad. Gah. I cannot express in text how much I long to go to that concert. I will be eagerly watching ebay, because I was too stupid to not buy tickets while I had them in my checkout, and they sold out shortly after. I know, I'm stupid. But, when there's a will, there's a way, so we will see how things pan out. :)

Listen, and bask in the Hometown Glory.

The past 3 weeks.

A lot has happened in the past 3 weeks. More than I ever wish could happen in 3 short weeks.

On October 16th, 2011, there was a tragic car accident in our little town of Magrath, and 4 teens passed away. Two of which were some of my best friends. Um, it doesn't really seem real yet, and I don't think it will for a long time. I don't know. I don't feel like I know anything right now. I'm just stumbling around. I was over having a family dinner at the Dainard's on Wednesday night for Renzo's would-be 17th birthday, and I was talking to his  aunt and she had a similar incident happen to her when she was a teen. She said she took a good couple years for it to become real and for her to cope with it, so we will see how this goes. I'll just live one step at a time.

I don't really know what to write on the interwebs, besides just saying that I love them ever so much and I can't wait to see them again.

It's hard to comprehend. I don't know. It feels like they are on vacation or something. I just miss looking at their smiling faces every day of my life and hearing their contagious laughter ringing in my ears almost constantly. There are so many more things that I wish we could have done, places we could have gone, memories we could have made, but for now I'll just remember all the ones we have had. Hahaha those boys were the light of my life. They were flippin' hilar.

I'll always miss my big brothers more than anything. Those 4 will live in my heart for the rest of my life and I hope to live on with their legacies.

I love you guys.

The last night I saw Renzo. We were at a birthday party and it was seriously one of the best times of my life. I had a freaking blast. It is also the last picture taken of Renzo to our knowledge.

When Clay and I went duck hunting in September. It was the first time I shot a gun and I shot my own duck. :) He said he was so proud. We had plans to go deer hunting in the near future. 

I was flippin' ecstatic every time I got to hang out with my Clay boy. Also taken on his phone, luckily sent to myself the last time I saw him. 

A picture of all the dance girls after our production of Peter Pan in June. Love you Jo-Jo. :)

Grad '09. Also one of the best times of my life. Renzo + me + dances always equaled an outrageously fun time, every time. 

My besties. Love you so so much. 

Seriously like so FREAKING much.

heyo.

Hey beautiful.
How have you been doing? Because I have been doing absolutely marvelously.
I just arrived home from Vegas last night. Yes, yes I do travel in extreme amounts. Yes, I do love it. Don't judge me. ;)

Recently, I have started 11th grade, which is kind of a gong show, but I am loving every moment. Life has just been a party. I feel as ecstatic as this bangle-clad woman, except I don't think I constantly have that much hair frizz and I am lacking a ridiculous amount of lemons. But nevertheless!! I have had a grand sense of euphoria as of late.

You know what I do need? A dance party. A really nice dance party. I haven't been classically dancing as much lately, and our school/community/southern Alberta has not had a dance in quite the time span. It relieves stress. Which I have had a pile of lately. (It comes with the positivity sometimes. Every up has its down.)

Welp, I guess this has turned into a little rant of sorts.
I'll be in a better mood tomorrow. Promise.
It is the weekend anyway!! (Hoorah for 2 school days in a week. :)

Love you.

wanderlust.

this makes me want to get up and pack my bags, travel, and make my own adventure.
                    .........and makes me want to follow in Melia's footsteps even more profoundly and                                            go to BYU Jerusalem....

...

If you insist...

*bashful smile*

Hello.

It's been awhile, hasn't it?

To say I've been busy... is a lie. I have just been lazily enjoying my summer days. Although I did go to Dance Camp this Summer!!! .... for the 2 weeks of 8 that I have been away. Whoops.

My life has been pretty lackadaisical, just the way I like it.

I will resume posts of just things I have stumbled upon that are cute. Yes. I like this.

-me.
