 i colored the tips of my hair for summer. 

i love it....ive been waiting til after graduation to do it for so long.

got home from the drive in around 530am.
currently going on about 3 or 4 hours of sleep. but it was worth it.
a couple of my friends had their graduation party tonight. ate hot dogs and chili, played volleyball, tried to stay awake, then when it got dark we all played hide n seek in the dark.

148.

took a 3 1/2 hour nap after church.
sang in church with my girls. its been wayyy too long
after evening service a bunch of friends and i went to the drive in for the dusk til dawn showing.
it was my first time to ever stay all night and oh man....it was a blasttttt.
they had we bought a zoo, avengers, 3 stooges, and american reunion(didnt stay for that one) playing. honestly though, i only saw about half (or maybe less) of each movie. we were having too much fun walking around, laughing, eating, cramming into the bed of my truck, and trying to keep ourselves from falling asleep.

today i officially GRADUATED highschool. Yayyyy
graduation was a blast. lotsa memories and laughs. the night before one of the girls suggested that we perform "a homeschool family" (by tim hawkins) so the morning of graduation we went over it and (super last minute) got it together to perform. it was a blast.....we rocked it. best graduation ever. you can watch it here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxygoyC7LK0&feature=youtu.be

all the girls (except kayla) went out to eat and shopping for graduation decorations and things like that.
we had fun and i love the things we found for the partay!! :)
we had graduation practice tonight. it was soooo confusing and unorganized. but oh well.
most of us graduates are doing a special "cute" performance that was super last minute (as in we decided to do it tonight), but i think everyone is gonna love it. ;) it'll be hilarious.

145.

best brother ever award goes to: Will
he was so nice to get up and help me with some horse chores this morning bc i still have to be careful with my head and neck and nerve stuff. didnt want to risk it. so he willingly came to help me.

day three of nannying.
took the kiddos to the park and had my mom bring my little sister so she could play too and then took her back with me to play with the kids.
not to mention she is a huuuuuuge help.
and i just love how God works. that day my head pain got really bad. i was so thankful to have her to help entertain them while i just supervised! God knew.

got home tonight after work, still in a lot of pain and thinking about everything i had to do the rest of this week.
it was so overwhelming. i wanted to cry.
but made a list of everything i had to do each day and felt better. thank goodness for listsssss. ;)

so i think i've pretty much decided that summer school (one class-4weeks) would be a really good decision. so i guess i wont have a life for 4 weeks during the summer. but it be worth it....later ;)

also.... i have officially had my cell phone for 1 year. be proud ;)
(for those of you who dont know me....i am the worst every with phones. i always break them...quick. i usually only have one for about 1-3 months before i break it. so yeah....one year is a record for me!!)
