Hope Floats

One of my favorite movies is Hope Floats. At the very end of the movie, Birdee quotes her mother by saying,

"Beginnings are scary. Endings are usually sad, but it's what's in the middle that counts. So, when you find yourself at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up. And it will."

I'm coming up on a new beginning in my life. It's coming way too fast actually. I have less than 2 months left before I move and go to college. I'm scared out of my mind. I don't want to say goodbye. So for all of you who find yourself in the same position as me, just remember this quote.

Sunshine

I am loving the sunshine lately! It looks so nice although it is still freezing cold outside. My cat and our dog were laying in the sunshine today. One of my favorite things is putting my face on the black spots of my cat after she's been sitting in the sun. It is so warm.

Bowling and Dance

Amy, Gabby, Kyleigh, and I went bowling Friday night with Chris and a bunch of his friends. We had 4 lanes for all of us. It was so much fun!

After bowling, we went back to my house and watched Sydney White.

My ward was in charge of decorating the stake dance on Saturday. Sister Pontius and I put the rainbow together. It was difficult and I bled a little bit, but it was still fun.

Amy came to the dance with me.

She wore the cutest shoes with her outfit. She pulled it off wonderfully and looked great.

Europe!

This will be me in about 5 months! My Aunt Ann, cousin Mitch, and I are going to Europe this summer. We have family in Switzerland so we are flying there. Then we will visit other places like Paris! It has always been a dream of mine to go to Paris. We just got out tickets. We leave July 30th and get back August 18th. I can't believe I am actually going! It is going to monumental.

Bowling

Amy, Gabby, Chris, and I went neon bowling Saturday night. It was so much fun! Poor Amy really wanted bumpers, but they wouldn't let her. I really wish Nicole, Jordan, and Katie could have come. We'll just have to go another time!

I have three short videos that we took, but it won't let me upload them onto this. I'm very sad about it, because they are kind of fun. Oh well, enjoy the pictures. Lots of love, bye bye!
