hah, my car broke down today at the gas station while i was filling up before i had to be at a dr.’s appointment. tara and i had to walk home…but i thank the Lord that it happened today because i had my cell phone and ipod on me and there was not a single rain cloud in the sky. so, it basically couldn’t have happen on a better day. and speaking of the weather….we had 28 days straight of rain that ended about a week ago. seattle hasn’t broken its record yet, but pretty close.
i am happy. although i can hardly believe that i’m saying this since three weeks ago, my life has basically been school and looking for a job. i don’t have much to explain except for i feel like i’m now appreciating everyday that i’ve been given and i want to live life to its fullest. i know that sounds quite cheesy but there is no use wandering around being mopey and miserable. i’m only going to be 18 once, and i’ll never be able to relive my adolescent years. in the great words of my wonderful mom and missy elliott, ‘you don’t need a man to fulfill yourself, you need to find happiness and fulfillment in yourself first and be content with that.’
moving on…
my baby brother just turned 14! he’s slowly turning into a man with his recent need to shave, wear deodorant on a regular basis, and the deepening of his voice. he is also as tall as me now, although still skinnier. he is my favorite brother and my life would be a less interesting place without him! he is so talented and I can not wait to see where his life leads him five years from now.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYLON CHARLES MAYER!!!!!!
so i guess in the spirit of the new year mylon and i put steps in our hair. hah, you only live once, right? they were cool while they lasted although mine are starting to grow out and i think i’m going to let them. i seemed to have started a trend though because now everyone seems to be sporting new shave spots. some people are trying to stake claim on being the first to do so, but trust me honey, i was the orig.
i have good feelings about this new year. i wrote down resolutions and hopefully i’ll be able to stick by them. alex traveled over from oak harbor to spend new years weekend with us and it was nothing short of wonderful. we went to gasworks park and were able to look upon the space needle and the beautiful city of seattle with fireworks going off and a whole lot of drunk people yelling and flailing around at midnight on The Day.
me and alex.
one of my new favorite pictures.
hah, we brought the new year in with style and wore dresses. we spent the evening on the hill getting krunk on martinelli’s. at home, we watched movies, ate too much and had pictures drawn on our foreheads. i do believe that it was the best new years celebration i have ever had and i enjoyed so much the company of my sissies, brother, alex, shane, sam and jake. I love you all so much.

a couple of weekends ago we ran away to castle rock to visit abi and hannah. although our adventure only lasted one night we enjoyed it very much. we plan on visiting them a lot more in the future. and ladies, if you’re reading this, you’re welcome at our house any time. :]
we had a scary adventure in selleck, wa the other night and although i am sworn to silence for an entire year, i can leave you with this picture:
i apologize that this post is so ridiculously long and probably somewhat boring! new year’s resolution: update more often. hah. i commend anyone who actually read through all of this.
i hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week and a good weekend.
