Oklahoma Trip - Everything Else!

After this post I will have finished everything from Oklahoma!
My grandpa always takes our nice wall pictures so he took mine while I was there. This is the (super scary and gross) lake that Emily and I swam in multiple times. My first time I went swimming in it I was freaking out! My feet were touching icky mud and I swore something swam next to me at least a hundred times!
The tree house! Emily and I sat out here many hours talking, texting, and just laying there enjoying the nice weather
We spent A LOT of time texting <3 :)
Chickens! Every time I would talk to Claire on the phone she would ask about the chickens
Riding Horses! This time was extra fun because I actually got to ride the horse out side of the pasture!I got to ride Twila At the airport :( Leaving was the saddest thing ever! I actually started crying on the airplane.
Emily and I are the best of friends and I miss her sooo much already! We both decided that I should move in with her :)

Oklahoma Trip -Elliott's Home!

One of the exciting things that happened while I was visiting was getting to be there for Elliott coming home from his mission. We got at the airport an hour early and found out that his flight was an hour delayed.. So that gave Emily and me lots of time to goof around and have fun :) I think that you can tell we look related a lot in this picture. While we were walking around (and around and around) the airport we asked random people if we looked like sisters. They all said yes :)
hour delayed flight + play place at the airport =


Elliott!
It was so fun to see Elliot and hear all about his mission. I still cant believe how much he has changed!

Oklahoma Trip -4th of July!

I got to celebrate 4th of July with the Edens. We didn't do fireworks, but we got to go to a wedding and on our way home we drove through the most beautiful lighting storm and watched the fireworks going of in the distance. It looked so amazing!
Emily and I made a 4th of July cake together! :)

Oklahoma Trip!

I just got back from visiting the Edens in Oklahoma and I had the time of my life! I was so sad when I got home because I wanted to go back. Emily and I are only 6 months apart and the best of friends! I was there for 10 event full days so I'm going to have to cover my trip in a couple different posts. :)

Katie the Critic

I know I say this allot but this is absolutely the MOST amazing movie ever! My best friend Taylor has been telling me about this movie and how great it is forever. We watched it as a young women activity and no kidding everyone fell in love with it.
The movie is about this guy, Rick, who plays rugby. His dad and him haven't been on the same page allot lately which is extra hard because he is also his coach. When Rick gets into some trouble he is sent to juvenile detention. While there he has to play for the Highland rugby team, who are the enemies to his team. Before nationals he is released back to his parents and has to decide which team to play with.
I know this sounds like another one of those sports movies but believe me! This is extremely good. Just in case I haven't persuaded you to see the movie yet here is a picture of the main character :)

Now how could you not want to see this?! :)
Cool fact: My uncle actually played against Highland Rugby team when he was in high school!! How cool is that!

Thanks!

While I was at girls camp I got a package from my wonderful Aunt Emily! A while back she had a post that if you were one of the first five to comment she would send you a home made gift. I was supposed to repost it but I wanted to wait till I had nothing else to post..but then I forgot and now I feel really bad. So if you are one of the first 5 to comment on this post I will send you something homemade. You can repost this if you want but you don't have to. I got the cutest thing ever! She used strips of paper to make my name with all the little curls and the flower. It looks super complicated! I love it and it matches my room perfectly! Thanks Emily! <3

Title: Beastly
Author: Alex Flinn
I actually read this book in the beginning of the school year and absolutely loved it. What inspired me to write this post was that last night on ET they said they were making a movie out of it that is coming out next summer! I got so excited that I actually requested the book to reread again!
Beastly is a modern day Beauty and the Beast told in the beast's point of view. If you thought you loved Disney's Beauty and the Beast you will love this way more. This book is the sweetest most amazing book ever and you HAVE to read it before the movie comes out! :)
