Painting nails with the little sis :)

On Sunday (actually, all weekend long, we only had time on Sunday) Becca asked me to paint her nails.  I love having a little sister. Sometimes. ;)

And then I told her I was going to have Hannah (my older sister, incase you're new here) paint my nails.  But her response was, "Oh no Buggy! I'LL paint your nails," yes, she calls me Buggy, that is her nick name for me.  The story behind that will come another time. 

Left hand:)  :

 "Oopsies! I got a little on your skin,":

"Don't worry, I'll fix it!":

It was pretty fun. I love my baby sister. However, my happy feelings were crushed when she took all of her nail polish off on Tuesday. 

Love Always

P.S. Nail Polish: Sally Hansen Blazing Blue and Pronto Purple 

I have an attractive green/purple slightly brownish bump on my knee.

...to go along with the giant scare on the back of my head.  Gymnastics, why do you do these things to me?  I debated putting up a picture.  But then you would get grossed out and stop reading.  And I DON'T want that.

Today was the end of the quarter for school.  My school that is; homeschool.  So basically my mom told us yesterday if we met our percentages (we have percents for TXVA [Texas Virtual Academy] instead of grades) we would be able to do whatever for the rest of the week.  Well, just until Friday that is.  And I finished all my work be about 10:00 this morning, so the rest of my day was filled with sitting in a comfy chair watching Psych all day.  I'm so productive. 

But, happy Friday! Anyone have any fun plans for the weekend? 

Love Always

My little brother is adorable.

I always joke around with my little brother, Henry, that he needs abs if he wants to get a girl next year (when we will be going back to school.)  So, as I'm sitting here he is on my floor doing crunches. Ahh I love him.

So, I've become aware of how painfully depressing I have been. Don't worry, I'm happy now.  I'm sorry if I'm made you painfully depressed as well. So here is a happy to go with your Thursday!

Stress meter.

This is my stress meter:

Come to think of it... my stress level is passed the red line and is going into AAARGH!

Forgive me if I have a mental breakdown sometime in the next two weeks.

Life is...

...beautiful and cruel all at the same time.

There is way to much in this post for one specific title.

So umm, CRAZY past couple of days. I. Love. Break. 'Nough said.
But, I guess I could fill you in on how this week went.  So, on Thursday morning at like 5 o'clock the rest of my family went to Colorado for my sister's volleyball tourny.  However, because I have state in a couple of weeks, my coach did NOT want me to miss so I could go sit on my butt for 4 days.  But in short, this is how my week went...
Monday-Tuesday: Nothing interesting. Just gym.
Wednesday: Went to my aunt's house (that night).
Thursday: Gym in the A.M. That night I went to dinner with my aunt and uncle, my other aunt and uncle, and my grandparents (Nonna and Pappap).  And also with my gorgeous cousin Stephie who just got her braces off and now she's got the most beautiful smile ever. :)
Friday: Gym that morning.  Then, that night I went to dinner with my aunt and uncle, my other aunt and uncle, and Stephie, and her friends that I'm friends with too, Alex and Nate.  I love hanging out with those guys.  Seriously, funniest. Ever.  Then we got Frosties and I spent the night at Steph's house.
Saturday: Got up early and went to Steph's rehearsal (she's a ballerina), then lunch with friends. Then I went back to my aunt's house and spent the evening in my room with a movie because they had some people over.
Sunday: Church super early. Then I went to breakfast with Nonna and Pappap (I swear I've eaten out more this week than I have in the past week.)  And then we went to the Allen Outlets and I found some super cute tops at GAP.  Then we went home and I read Anne Frank like crazy because I mom wants me to finish it.

So I'm thinking, I've missed so many days of this 30 Day Challenge thing already, catching up would be boring for you.  So I'm just gonna start up again on Day 20: Write a letter to someone.
Dear Lindsey,
The other night, I was in my email and I stumbled across some of the emails we used to send to each other like every single day.  It made me laugh, but it also made me sad.  We were so sarcastic it's hilarious, but it also made me realize how we aren't as close as we used to be and for that I hate my back and the stupid injury it gave me.  How it took me out for 6 months and so we didn't talk as much.  I miss having you as my best friend chica, ilsym :)

Love Always

P.S. Y'all are probably tired of hearing about Lindsey. Sucks for you.

Something new...

[Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Whirlwind White]

Thoughts on white nail polish?  I'm not quite sure if I like it yet...

Love Always

Remember Me?

You do? Oh thank you, I'm so happy you do! So, I have some catching up to do because this whole 30 days of blogging has kinda turned into a couple days of blogging with the posts packed with things I was supposed to say. Yeah, I'm not good at this. Oh, well.

Day 16(from Saturday): A picture of yourself.

Day 17(from Sunday): someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why. 

That's a hard one. Probably like, Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber, just because I would would want to know what it'd be like to have millions of fans and in Taylor's case, super-human-song-writing abilities. 

Day 18(from Monday): Plans/dreams/goals you have. 

Well, I would love to be an orthopedic or something.  And I totally want to still be involved in gymnastics when I get older just because it is such a big part of my life.  And college is a for sure on the "plans" list. 

Day 19:Write about a sweet memory from your past. 

I honestly can't think of one in particular.  Last summer though, was just like, one big awesome memory. 

Love Always

FAM[ily]

Day 14(from Thursday): A picture of you and your family.

From left to right: Hannah, Me, Emily, Henry, Rebecca

This was from a whole ago, but that's me and my wonderful siblings. 

From left to right: top-Emily bottom-Hannah, top-Me bottom-Jason, top-Megan bottom-Nikki, top-Rebecca bottom-Stephanie

I love my cousins. I don't know what I would do without them. They make me laugh all the time.  This picture was also from awhile ago, but I love it :)

Day 15: Put your iPod on shuffle: first 10 songs that play. 

1: Penny Lane - The Beatles

2: Mamma Mia - ABBA

3: What If - Nichole Nordeman 

4: Lady Marmalade - Christina Aguilera

5: This Is Your Life - Switchfoot

6: Leave (Get Out) - JoJo ...why I still have the song on my iPod, I have no idea. 

7: Let It Rock - Kevin Rudolf ft. Lil Wayne

8: Which To Bury, Us Or The Hatchet - Relient K

9: Already Over - RED

10: Benediction - Curtis Stephen ...he sings for the LifeTeen mass at my church. He has a CD. He's pretty awesome. 

Love Always

P.S. Incase you didn't understand the title... Father And Mother I Love You : FAMILY.

Ooh wait I take that back, I AM in love. I want me some hot German

Meet my new boyfriend...

...I wish. 

This right here is a hot German gymnast by the name of Philipp Boy. And how, might you be wondering, did I stumble across the gorgeous picture. Well...

One day before workout at gym I was you know, minding my own business, looking through my Facebook newsfeed when I saw this post from the USA Gymnastics page. It had pictures from the men's Podium Training for the American Cup.  And oh, that ^^ is not all.

Oh baby.  See, the bad thing about the guys at my gym... they aren't ripped like that. And the only ones that are close to looking like that are like 12.  Bummer.  I wouldn't mind working out with guys that have 28 packs.  Seriously. 

So yeah, day 13 (from yesterday): your 5 favorite books and why.

I guess if I really think about it, the Bible is my favorite book.  It's the book I read when I'm happy, sad, angry, whatever. 

Second favorite would be hmm... Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.  I love this book so much.  I really love all her books because they're real.  It is romance but it's not all, I'm dating the captain of the football team type of thing.  It has more things that everyone goes through.  

Third favorite, Lock and Key also by Sarah Dessen.  This is one of my favorites because its so deep.  Plus I'm totally gonna get a key necklace one of these days. 

Fourth favorite is The Traveler's Gift. This book has so much wisdom packed into not a lot of pages.  I think you should read it. 

My fifth favorite book would probably be The Unexpected Gift.  My coach gave me this book a while ago.  It's just a little inspiring gymnastics story, but I love it.  

Love Always
