twenty two!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my seester today!! she's turning 22! so crazy! i always though it was weird when my friends had siblings who were in their 20's and now i'm one of those people! haha! my sister is a pretty cool person, if you ask me. she's really funny (and CRAZY) and she's fun to go shopping with because we pretty much have the same taste in clothing. she's going to be rich (in the near future) and marry someone super hot. and they will live in LA (that's what i've decided, she doesn't have any say in it, i guess). i'm finally going home in May for her graduation from USC and i couldn't be any more excited!!!!

these pictures are way old but literally are the only pictures i have of us together! what's the deal?!

well Brianna, i hope you have a fantastic day and that your friends aren't too mean to you for April Fool's haha. don't party too hard tonight, i know how you can get!! hehehe ;)

i have a little treat for you but i will have to update you in about 30 minutes, so check back later! in the meantime, you can watch this that we made for you a long time ago but i just now uploaded because it wouldn't upload anywhere until now! pheww

love you sister! i can't wait to come home NEXT MONTH!! we're going to have so much fun :)
xoxoxoxo!!

alright, here it is! (ya, it was a little more than a 30 minute wait, but whatever.) :)

oh and let me tell you, this was not so easy to do. it took quite a few tries for them to actually cooperate. i wish i was good at editing videos so i could put in the bloopers, but i can just show you in May :)

Day 7

A picture of your most treasured item.

this one was tough. i really don't have something that i really treasure, at least not that i can think of. well unless pictures and my blanket count. bahah.

so i didn't choose an item, i chose a person. especially cuz it's her birfday today. my mama!!



happy birthday!! i guess it had to take me living somewhere else and having to nanny to realize just how amazing and awesome you are. you're the best! thanks for all that you do. i miss you and love you!

my best friend's birthday

i've known Carly since i was probably 10 years old. we played soccer together. we were best friends. after playing on the same team twice, we didn't see each other again until i was a sophomore and she was a freshman. we both were in track. we might have tried out together, but that's blurry. all i know is that at our first track meet at moorpark, after we had already become acquaintances through pole vaulting, she remembered me from soccer. she knew she recognized me. i knew all along how i knew her, but didn't know how to bring it up. so we became best friends. spending every day together. at school and at track. that was such a great year. we would talk forever and have the deepest conversations i've ever had with anyone. we had so many inside jokes. we told each other anything and everything. we never judged, but always listened.
the two years after that, we started hanging out less and less. but we stayed best friends. every time we saw each other or the few times that we would hang out, nothing had changed.
we always have fun together, even if we spend all day watching tv or movies and eating pizza. we just always have fun and laugh so much. that's what i think is a best friend. she will always be there for me.
she's 18 today and i love her :)

i like my brotha a lot

and today is his 16th birthday. which is really weird to think about because it seems like I was just 16. oh boy.
i wish more than anything that i was at home today because i've never not been there for his birthday. but we kinda made up for it by talking on the phone for 2 hours and 45 minutes today. i'm pretty sure i've never talked to someone on the phone for that long. i miss talking to him everyday.
we used to (whenever we actually went to bed at the same time) talk to each other on our bunk bed for so long at night. we'd talk about anything and everything. he's one of the few people i can actually do that with.
i hate to admit it, but he's one of the funniest people i know. well actually i think he makes me laugh more than anyone else. one of my friends actually noticed that once and asked me "does bryce make you laugh more than anyone?" and i painfully said yes.
another friend once told me something like "you're such a good big sister" when she saw us together at school. i'm so glad we got to spend one year at the same school together. that hasn't happened since elementary school. i thought i would hate it, but i didn't. we became so much closer last year and i was so glad to always have my brother at school with me.

now for a million pictures:

he's one of my best friends and i love him.
happy birthday brotha!!
