wow! only one week of juy left :)? :(?

Oh my! This summer has come and gone so fast! Its hard to believe that in a few weeks I'll be getting ready to go back to school. I can't complain though, because i have had a WONDERFUL summer! I competed in a pageant, got myself whipped into shape with cheerleading, went to disney world for the first time (!), got my learners permit, and got to hang with friends every now and again. The last 3 1/2 weeks of the summer will be spent doing more cheerleading stuff, getting my book report for honors english done, continuing to work out, and hopefully more hanging out with friends. I can already tell that this school year will be a great, but extremely busy one. With homework, cheerleading, and the fall musical I'm gonna be swamped most of the first semester. Not to mention cheer, homework, the spring play, and chior contest time in the 2nd semester. I know it may not seem like much, but they all require quite a bit of commitment. I will be very proud of myself if I can pull it off while keeping my grades up.

In other news, I got my first pedicure yesterday! I needed it soooo bad. I got my toenails painted pink with green and white polka dots! It looks really cool. I also went to spin pizza and got to catch up with Lori, a family friend. It was a great day. Well I better go now and get some work done on my book report before i work out. Thats all for now :)

Back from Disney World!!

I got back a few days ago from my familys vacation to disney world! it was by far the best vacation ive been on so far. The only downside was the 2-day drive to and from Florida. We got there on saturday the 4th and immediately went to the park before even checking in to the hotel. That day was spent at the magic kingdom which was super fun! we got autograph books and went on the carousel,dumbo,the magic carpets, winnie the pooh, and its a small world. That night we saw their 4th of july fireworks display which was incredible!! they have fireworks every night but i was glad i got to be there on the 4th. The next day was spent at the animal kingdom. We rode jungle safari, kali river rapids, Expedition everst (which was amazing!!!) and saw the animal exhibits. The next day we went to visit my great grandpa in Fort Meyers. He was pretty energetic for a 90-year-old. That day we also went to Fort Meyers beach which was fun except for the fact that i got sunburned really bad on my back. The day after that was spent at Epcot. we saw a lot of finding nemo stuff, went to this imagination thing (i forget what its called but it was pretty cool) and we walked around the world showcase which was really cool because they had lots of cool stuff from all of the major countries in the world. That night we watch the laser and fireworks show there which was also very cool. The next day, the first half was spent at Typhoon lagoon and the 2nd half was spent at epcot again. The next day we went back to the magic kingdom and spent most of the day shopping for souveniers. I got a minnie mouse doll, a belle pen, a belle ring and a cinderella ring, as well as a tinker bell statue and keychain. That night for dinner we went to the Grand Floridian hotel to have dinner with Cinderella and her stepsisters as well as lady tromaine and Prince charming. It was really fun because even though you knew they werent real, they were still entertaining and had a lot of fun with their roles.Then we went and saw the fireworks again and the parade. The next day we went to Hollywood studios where we rode the Rockin' roller coaster(which was also amazing!!) and the tower of terror, saw the muppets, a stunt car show,Beauty and the Beast and did the american idol experince. After dinner we went to watch the fireworks and the parade for one last time before leaving. I had soooo much fun! Even though a lot of the stuff is meant for younger kids, I think that people of all ages can enjoy disney world simple because of how elaborate it is and how they have a way of making everything seem magical. And now for some pics! now keep in mind that these are just a few of the many, many, many pics that were taken so if you want to see more, you can visit my facebook page :)
