Mamacita!

Technically its not mother's day over here on the east coast anymore but l I still wanted to do a little post for my mama.(And all the mamas out there!) I would say its the toughest, most important, and most rewarding job out there. I'm so grateful for my mom, she is seriously amazing! Everything she does is for her kids; plus she does it all on her own. I didn't used to appreciate it as much as I do now (she knows what I mean). It's amazing that as horrible as I can be, she still always loves me. As bad of a daughter as I've been at times, she's always been an amazing mother...even if I didn't see it at the time. But now I definitely do see it and love her for it. I can't wait to come home on Wednesday and to celebrate mothers day with her and all my siblings :) love you mommy!!

I don't have a picture of me and her on my phone so I put this picture of Mackenna and Carrie up as a substitute haha....taken at a pit stop in Delaware on the way to Maryland this weekend

Day 14

a picture of someone you can't imagine your life without.



my family of course!
and being away from them this year has been pretty hard and i've realized how much i really do love them! haha. and now it's especially hard since i lost my phone and i can't text or call them whenever i want/need to.
love you guys! <3

p.s. more from boston coming later today! i'm off to yoga!

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!

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!!
