"Lucky I'm in love with my Best Friend"

Me hermano es CASADO!!! Can ya believe it?! I'm so happy for this boy. .. I mean man! He met the love of his life, Juanita, junior year of high school and now they are going to be together forever. It was such a beautiful night filled with smiles. I have never seen my brother happier. My heart is so full for these two to start the rest of their lives together. Best of wishes you two!!

"To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with."

-Mark Twain

beginning my future

I cannot believe I start college in a week! It's unreal- I'm 18, graduated, and about to be completely on my own. Making my own choices & learning life lessons.. I'm so excited to learn more about myself & make friendships that will last me a lifetime. This is supposedly the best time of life and I am going to live it to the fullest. This will be my new home soon!

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

GRADUATE

This is not the end. 

It is not even the beginning of the end. 

But it is, perhaps the end of the beginning

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. 

You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts.

You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. 

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt.

Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. 

you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. 

Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, 

live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

Need a Smile?

Smile or your teeth will suffocate.

Orlando: The City Beautiful

This is what we went to Orlando for- to be business peeps. DECA is a club that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe. At the beginning of the year all of us kids placed at state and had the wonderful opportunity to compete nationally (except Kaycie, she was a state officer & they go automatically). I worked on a Public Relations Project with the two boys. Sadly, we did not even make it through the first round at nationals but we were able to get over it and this stuff helped....

The Beauty Department

Don't even TRY to tell me you do not love this girl! I not only love her for her gorgeousness and great style- but she has followed her dreams and kept her integrity along the way. This girl is one of my very few role models. 
I first fell in love with Lauren Conrad on Laguna Beach. She has become so much more since her high school days. From her very own clothing lines to books. She can do anything! And now she has teamed up with her beauty team, hair stylist Kristin Ess and makeup artist Amy Nadine, to launch her own blog all about beauty!! Today we learn about the perfect red lip. Check it out. I can promise you you won't regret it!!

Halos

I was determined to go to an Angels game while I was home this past week for spring break. It was a wonderful date with my Pookie. We went Shopping at The Block in Anaheim, had Italian food for din din,  & even got some yummy snacks for during the game! We won 2-0 (vs Indians) attaboys! It was tons of fun; although, I do have a confession.. as much as I love baseball it is friggin' borrring compared to the NBA. Lakers have stolen my heart!! They are taken it again this year. 3 PEAT BABY <3
