Day 69- Happy Holidays.

Friday was our last day of school this year! We go back January 4th. I'm so excited to be off for these next two weeks. I don't really have anything big planned but I am very excited to spend it with my family and friends!

Friday's outfit was inspired by The Holidays!

How do you like my Christmas Sweater? It's my Grandmothers. I didn't want people to think I was trying to wear an ugly sweater today. I really like it and think it's cute! Although, I did feel kind of old today wearing this (sorry Grandma).

The school day Friday= ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS!

I did have a good day, though. It started off with my independent study, drawing and painting. I didn't do anything at all. Not a thing. I just chatted with my pals, Ben and Adison.

My 2nd hour was Spanish 3. We did a nice secret Santa. My person was Jordan Cooper (from Day 11- picture day). I decided it'd be funny to get him a live animal, so on Saturday, Spencer and I went to Petsmart and bought him a mouse. Her name is Priscilla. I bought a cage, bedding, food, and these chewing sticks and wrapped them all up for him. I wrapped the mouse in wrapping paper as well but don't worry you animal lovers out there! I poked holes in the top. My mom made my dad make Jordan a basketball shirt too (my dad has an embroidery & heat pressing business) because she felt bad that I got him a mouse. Needless to say, I think he liked it and now she is our new class pet. I received cute bobby pins from my friend Jessica :) Shout out to Jessica, thanks :)

I missed my 3rd hour to go to a Varsity Club pizza party. I played Euchre and watched Christmas movies, and of course ate some pizza.

My 4th hour I also missed to go to my Student Council party. Ahhh the perks to being on STUCO :) We all brought a dish to pass and we did a White Elephant gift exchange. I got a gift card to Subway and a big bag of M&M's. Great gift, Bryce :)

My 5th hour is Weight Training where I did half of an Insanity. Brooke, Aisha, and I started doing it and about 15 minutes in, Mr. Curtis asked if he could back it up so the whole class could do the first 10 minutes of it. We didn't really have a choice but we were okay with it! We still got a good work out.

Tuesday, Sawyer turned 5 months old!

Sawyer is starting to sit up on his own. I'm so excited to see him open presents tomorrow :)
On Wednesday, Sawyer and I got our pictures taken with Santa. He did so good!

Day 68- Fashion Fashion Fashion

Today, I wore some colors that are unlikely to be seen together. Brown and Red. I love this dress. Love love love it! I think the design on it is very unique. I decided to wear red tights because of the red in this dress. My brown heel/boots actually match the brown on my dress, I think the lighting may have messed with how it looks in the picture.

Today's outfit came from...

Dress- Forever 21

Tights- JC Penny's

Shoes- H&M

After typing the list of where my outfit came from, I realized there really isn't much to this outfit. I feel like I could've worn some sort of bracelet, but a necklace would've simply been too much.

I was pretty happy with the fashion in my school today. At Lakewood, not many boys dress up. I love it when guys dress up! I think it's really nice and handsome. Today, I actually saw a couple guys with sweaters on. If I wasn't doing a quick walk by in the hallway, I would've told them too. Jerry Grieser has the BEST style in our school for men. I love seeing what he wears every day. We had a nice chat about our outfits today as well.

My good friend Shannon Salgat has been wearing some really cute things lately! I love her style so much!

I'm really mad this picture is blurry. I wish it wasn't! I hope you can still see Shannon's outfit because it's really cute. Don't mind my hair, I washed it after weight training. Don't worry, it was the end of the day anyways!

Day 67

I'm so sorry. I forgot to do my blog for Friday. I don't know if anyone cares at all, haha, but I forgot and I will do it now. Friday I decided to go casual. Brooke and I went to the basketball game Friday night, so I decided I'd show a little school spirit this day.

Yes, I realize my shoes don't really match which is a biggy for me. But I had decided to be A Okay with it.

I'm very happy to say that I finished my first week of Insanity! The schedule for Insanity is Monday-Saturday. I do it in class Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Spencer has the Insanity workouts so I just borrowed the videos from him and did Wednesday's and Saturday's workouts at my house. Doing this will also hopefully make me a little faster in Soccer. I'm hoping it does and I hope I keep on doing it.

Day 66

Hola. So today was an alright day. I went to bed pretty early last night. I was asleep by 9:20 which is very early for this girl. I woke up at 4:30 because of a dream I had last night. The dream made me sad, but happy. In all honesty, if I could, I'd have that dream over and over and over again. When I woke up at 4:30 I figured it had been 6 and I woke up to my alarm because I hardly ever wake up on my own. I was kind of excited it was only 4:30 because this meant an extra hour and a half of sleep I was going to get! It was a plus to see that it was going to be almost 60 degrees today! I decided to wear a dress.

Today's outfit came from...

Dress- Charlotte Russe

Tights- JC Penny's

Cardigan- JC Penny's

Heels- Payless

My heels were very simple today. I liked them quite a bit.

Day 65

Today, I auditioned for the Seussical. I'm pretty excited. I didn't really audition, I just told them I wanted to be in the chorus, but I'm still very pumped for it. I feel like I'm trying to do too much with my life right now but I don't really mind it. I like how my last year is going so far.

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt: Charlotte Russe

Leggings: Vanity

Shoes: Target

I didn't really wear this outfit the whole day today. I wore my white fuzzy North Face with a pink scarf. I will more than likely be wearing the outfit you see here after winter break :)

Thanks for reading today's post.

Day 64

 So this morning, I woke up and decided on black leggings with a grey button up and a belt. I couldn't remember if I've worn it yet this year so I checked through the pictures and sure enough I have. I was very close to saying screw it until I threw this outfit together. I've never worn these all together, today was a first!

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt- The Buckle

Belt- The Buckle

Leggings- Vanity

Boots- Sears

I think this belt is very cool, and definitely fashionably unique, haha. I like the way it buckles and how it looks.

I'm sad to say that Spencer Palmer is no longer playing basketball. He screwed up his leg in the beginning of football season, and couldn't play. He started playing basketball, and now he is uncleared as of today. I am still going to Varsity's game tonight to support even though he won't be playing.

Day 63- just livin'

Nothing outstanding happened today, and nothing horrible happened either. Today was just normal, and I'm happy. I got a sweet tea, and went to school. At school today, I had to help out for this Ellis Island thing for the Freshman US History class. A couple of us student council members helped with this. Basically our job was to make their life in "America" A living hell. The first class, I pulled people off the boat. If they answered me when I talked to them, I sent them to jail. If I didn't like their shirt, I sent them to jail. I admit, it was pretty fun. The second class, I gave out new names. I really just made up new names. They could be whatever I wanted, so I chose names like skinny boy, Hiki boy (he had a hiki on his neck. a freshman! can you believe it?! I embarrassed him by announcing this to the whole class), you owe me a sweet tea, callus. etc. It was humorous to me!

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt- The Buckle

Jeans- Love Culture

Shoes- DSW

Bracelet- The Buckle

Earrings- Charlotte Russe

Necklace- The Buckle

To be honest with you about this outfit, I was looking through my closet trying to think of what I haven't worn to school. I came across this shirt and couldn't remember so I went downstairs and looked through all the pictures of me in the mornings on my computer. I didn't see the shirt anywhere so I decided to wear it!

Today I did Insanity again, and it felt good. I'm so happy I am doing this everyday now. My good pal Kelsey Brown is coming over tonight because I'll be home a lone so I'm pretty happy about that!

Day 62- TATU

Well, Friday I didn't attend school so I just wore a black shirt and jeans. Instead of attending school, I went to a seminar type thing that's called TATU. Teens Against Tobacco Use. I was chosen last year to go and I came back this year as a "veteran". The kids in it with me are Shannon Salgat, Hannah Dejong, Nick Payne, Jordan Cooper, Cody Collins, Jordan Keitzman, Madison McLean, Emily Kutch, Paul Hager, Stephen Nisbit, and Kyler Knapp. We had a fun time I think :) I won two prizes so I was pumped about that. I also drove, and Friday morning the roads were HORRIBLE! I drove Hannah and Shannon to Hastings because that's where I thought this was at. Turns out it was in Middleville so we had to go another 20 minutes. Over all though, it was a nice time.

My weekend was basically based around family and friends, and I was very happy about that.

Friday night my Mum, Pap, Soy, and I went and got our Christmas Tree from Spitzley Spruces! Well Dad and I did anyways. Mum and Soy stated in Spitzley's heated garage while we did all the work. Mom and I went to Ionia to Meijer's to get bulbs for the tree and more lights. We're doing it Red and White this year :)

Saturday was a family reunion. I guess there are about 160+ people on my mom's side of the family. I had a nice time and also won a prize there! Popcorn and Blueberry Honey. I also saw a movie by myself. New Years Eve. It was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Later that evening I spent the night at my friend's Danica and Derrica Desgranges with Marisela Martinez and Kennedy Hilley. It was fun :)

Today I went to church with my Mum and Sawyer. I then went to Aisha's house to straighten her hair! Here are some pics.

AFTER

 I went to my grandma's house to visit since my family from Indiana was there, and then I went to my other grandparent's house. Now I am home, and was in the middle of watching Bridesmaids when I remembered about my blog :)

Day 61- dead

So as I said in yesterday's post, I lifted on Tuesday. My legs hurt yesterday, and they hurt even worse today. They're just so stiff. I swear it probably looked like I was walking with a stick up my butt today. I couldn't help it though! Today, I started Insanity! I didn't want to lift anymore in weight lifting so my teacher said a couple of us could do the Insanity work out video's. I think I will get more of a result by doing this instead of lifting for 3 months and then stopping. Because I did this, I now feel dead. Yes, dead. I don't want to move, my legs are sore, I'm tired. Any who, now for my outfit.

Today's outfit came from...

Sweater: Forever 21

Leggings: Vanity

Shoes: Payless

I was so comfortable today. I love wearing leggings. I don't think it's wrong for girls to just wear leggings as long as they don't over do it. Some of you may think I over did it today and that's fine, you can think that. I like how I looked today, and if I can be fashionable and be comfortable at the same time, why wouldn't I?

Day 60

Okay, so last night I stayed at my friend Kelsey's house. I also went to the basketball game. They lost, but I still had a nice time. I only got about 6 hours of sleep last night so I am pretty tired. I decided to wear the high rise jeans today.

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt- The Buckle

Jeans- H&M

Shoes- H&M

I'm pretty sore from lifting today. I decided to start Insanity with some of my friends in my weight training class 5th hour. I'm pretty excited.

Day 59

I'm posting kind of early today if you haven't noticed. This is because tonight, I am working until 7, then picking up my good pal, Kelsey Brown. We are going to the first varsity boys basketball game tonight. Spencer is on the basketball team so I am going to watch him shoot some hoops. I really hope they win. After that, Kelsey and I are going to our friend Aisha's house tonight to watch Teen Mom 2, then I'm staying at Kelsey's. The festivities for tonight will be great :). Now, let's talk about my outfit.

Today's outfit came from...

Shirt: Forever 21

Skirt: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: JC Penny's

Necklace: Vanity

The skirt I wore today was only $8.99. I do shop for deals, let me tell ya. I liked my hair today too. This morning, I woke up at 6:00 and got out of bed around 6:10.

Let me give you a little list of how I get ready in the morning..

•  get in the shower
• read the bible while my bathroom airs out
• brush my teeth
• blow dry my hair
• do my make up
• do my hair
• put my outfit for the day on

Honestly, I don't know how I have enough time to do everything but I do. I curled my hair today, then decided for this outfit I should wear it in a nice side bun. I usually walk down the stairs at 7 and hang out down there until 7:15 when I leave for school. Here's what my hair looked like from a side view.

Like my face?

I do.

Day 58- new tri day 1

Today's outfit came from...

Scarf: Charlotte Russe

Shirt: JC Penny's

Jeans: Love Culture

Socks: DSW

Boots: Sears

Earrings: Buckle

Bracelet- Vanity

I liked my hair today as well. I felt like everything going on would just be too much but then I figured, hey what do I have to loose? These jeans are the "bedazzle" jeans I talked about in Day 15. I just didn't know if the bedazzle on the butt, the jewelry, scarf, and boots were too much. Now as I type it seems like it would be but in reality I think it all turned out nicely.

Okay so yes, I had school Thursday and Friday. No I didn't do a blog for those days because they were half days for exams. Thursday I wore a plain black shirt with buckle jeans, and Friday I wore a pink sweatshirt with leggings and my pink Nike's.

If you cared to see what those outfits were, here you go!

Today was the beginning of a new trimester! My new schedule is..

1st- Independent study- drawing and painting

2nd- Spanish III

3rd- Senior Soc

4th- Survey of Math

5th- Weight Training

Drawing and Painting, I'm a little nervous about this hour. Independent study means I work by myself in the art teacher (Mr. Rinckey's) back room while another class is going on. I'm nervous because that means that his attention will be on me when he comes in the room and I'm not a very artsy person. I think I'd feel better if I was in a whole class full of people because I know everyone in the class won't be the next Da Vinci..

Spanish III, will probably end up being my hardest class. I love the teacher, Mrs. Roessler, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to learn a foreign language at this level. I'm going to stick it out, and pray that I do well in this class. I know as long as I study and do my work, I will at least pull a B and I'm happy with that.

Senior Soc, is basically a Physiology class. The teacher, Mr. Miller, is hilarious. I'm excited to see what this class will bring. Plus in Physiology, we learn a lot about how baby's act and why they do the things they do. This will be exciting since I can relate somewhat with Soy :)

Survey of Math, Probably my least favorite class already, and it's day 1. I'm just not very excited about it and I have a feeling 4th hour will just be a drag.

Weight Training, so pumped about it. I will be lifting with some of my best friends and I'm just so happy! I'm very happy that the class is the last hour of the day because this means that I can pull my hair up, work hard, and run. If it was any other hour, I wouldn't do this because I'd have to go to the rest of the day. Needless to say, this is probably my favorite class.
