What A Weekend...

    This weekend has been so incredibly amazing. I think this is the most busy I have been in so long since it was back to back with no brakes, but it was all worth it, and was spent with some of my FAVORITE people!

Because this weekend was definitely one to remember, I wanted to shall it with all y'all! 

Lets start with Wednesday! (even though its not the weekend). 

We had a little mini car show in the parking lot of my school! It was all about Buckle Up For Bobby (https://www.facebook.com/BuckleUpforBobby). The message was incredibly moving. The cars also...were so amazing I was in love! 

The next exciting moments were on Friday! Friday, after school, I went to a hotel with my senior church girls! It was such a cute little pent house!! On my way there I stopped and watched for a moment, a Frisbee game to support my friends. That night, us girls went to a restaurant called Mai Thai and it was so delicious! Its now one of my top places to eat...even though its quite expensive. We went back to the hotel/pent house and watched warm bodies...which was quite good!

were cute I know.

That morning (Saturday) we ate breakfast, and went our separate ways...for the day. Again, I stopped at the park right next to the hotel, and watched my friends play in their Frisbee district games! A few hours later, I picked up my bestie Nicole, and we went to the Parade of Homes. Which is where you get to go look at all of the super duper fancy decorated houses in the area...for free! This is a tradition of ours, and it was our 5th year. Sadly..she will be moving away for college, and this was our last year going together :(  but we definitely made the most of it! After, we went to Remrands which is an amazing coffee house and then, once again, went our own ways for the day. That evening, my friend maggs (Maggie) and I went into another nearby town and walked around, and found a super cool candy shop called We Ole Sweet Shop and bought some neat sweets. We then met up with a few more friends and goofed off in Walmart...because that is just what we do!

This was in the bathroom at one of the homes..creepy..

Year 5 Selfie!

We discovered a hidden room.!

This was the biggest, last, and absolute best house we saw that day!

On Sunday (mothers day/today), I woke up early and went to my grandparents house for lunch! my aunt, uncle, cousin, my brother, and my parents of course were all there! Directly after lunch, we went downtown to the zoo/park for my senior church graduation party. There was a game the seniors participated in...let me explain...

      we got into predetermined groups first...here was my incredibly awesome group! 

    

       they then proceeded to tell us that we were going on a picture/video scavenger hunt in the zoo. easy enough right? well...not really. We had 8 cards to get through to win. We had to go to someones dad..lets call him bob. We had to go to bob, and get our team card hint. The card (each somehow relating to Disney) gave us a hint on what animal to take a picture of. Still sound easy? well....there were people (that we knew) hidden around the park. If they got you, and squirted you with a water gun (was killed as we said), your team had to do complete a speed bump before continuing. The speed bumps took more time to complete such as buying something, riding the merry go round, and so on. My team...yeah we had to do every speed bump they made. We ran all over the zoo without stopping so it wasn't that hard to find us..

Even with all of the speed bumps, we came in 2nd place!!! Woo!!!! Yeahhh!!!!! It was so much fun!! 

    after the game (which lasted until literally after the zoo closed..haha) we walked over to our reserved pavilion for our graduation party with the parents and so on! It was a blast, and I realized how lucky I am to have so many great friends, and I even got to make some new friends who were seniors that I just didn't know quite well. 

The theme was Jungle (come to hunt or be hunted) therefore we got animal masks. It made us happy! 

Getting the next clue! we were ahead most of the time! 

Ladies and Gentlemen...the seniors!

My boys! These two..man..I have been through a lot with them.
 I am so incredibly lucky to have to great guy friends
 that actually put up with me. Love you guys!

As soon as it was over...myself, the two kids above, and my new friend Austin played on the playground...because were kids!

Finally, this evening, myself, again the two kids above, and Shareya, went bowling! 

This weekend just proved how blessed I am to have all of these wonderful memories, and people in my life. These are no doubt, moments that I will never ever forget. Thank you to everyone who is in my life, I truly to love and cherish every single one of you.
