In a few months I will be starting my Senior year of high school. I was starting to look at getting my senior pictures started and I landed a "gig" with Rafter T Photography by being their Senior Spokesmodel. I get a summer session and then a winter or fall session. For those of you who wanted to see a sneak peek of some of my senior pictures, click on the following link! Hope you enjoy! :)

This is just a little shout-out to my wonderful mom! Her birthday was yesterday (June 4th). We celebrated the day by going to dinner at Tucano's (which for anyone who hasn't been there, it was pretty good...their brown sugar glazed pineapple...aaahhhh DELICIOUS!) and then going to a movie.
Thanks mom for everything you do for me and our family. You are so kind and have such a big heart. You always know how to put a smile on my face. Thanks for sacrificing your sleep to stay up and wait for me when I decide to stay out until morning! Thanks for letting me eat ice cream and popsicle's for breakfast! :) Thanks for all of our chats about boys, friends, school,and life in general. I couldn't have asked for a better mom who has always been there for me. I hope your birthday was great! We love you lots.
Well for starters, I am so happy that summer is finally here! :) I love the warm weather and the freedom that summer brings. I finished up my Junior year with all A's and B's. I was pretty excited about that. It was a good year that seemed to go by fast and slow at the same time. I can't believe that in 3 months, I'll be in my last year of high school. I'll be glad when it's finally over. (I'll never want to go back to high school!) and then it's off to years and years of college. I'm still debating what I want do, either business (marketing & advertising/ management) or a prosecuting attorney. My parents think I should be an attorney...apparently I argue alot. I don't know why they would ever think such a thing! (Just for clarification, I'm a good kid and I only argue when I know I'm right or if I have really strong feelings about something.)
Danielle is gone on a cruise with Kent and some of his family. They went to the Bahamas!! She's so lucky. She called us from the ship last night and they had just left Jamaica. I wish I was there. She's having a good time. While they are gone, Kent is having me run his store in Caldwell. He owns The Office Solution. I'm the only one working for a whole week from 9am-6pm and I get the lovely task of shipping packages with fed-ex and UPS, making copies, laminating, enlarging things, copying construction blue-prints and binding them, and selling things that he has in the store. It was really scary at first, but I"m slowly getting the hang of it. I spend alot of time just playing on the computer or reading a book while I wait for customers, so it gets kind of boring. But after this week, I never want to touch another box, bubble wrap or labels ever again! But I guess it's not all bad because I'm getting paid. Yeah, my first summer job!! (even if it is only for a week! lol)
I'm taking my first session of senior pictures in 2 weeks! It should be fun and I hope they turn out good. I got accepted to be a spokesmodel for the photography business I'm getting them done with. They'll use my pictures for advertisment and I get 2 free sessions and some other stuff. So I end up only having to pay for my prints. The lady that's taking them does a fabulous job! I had some friends that just graduated and she took their senior pics. I really liked them.
Some other exciting news, my parents and I are going to Arkansas this summer! We all can't wait to go spend time with family and for a little vacation. We are staying for a week together, then my parents will fly home and I will stay another week by myself. I went there last summer for 2 weeks and it was great! I hadn't seen the family there since I was about 3. I know my mom is soooo stoked to be seeing her parents and other family that she or my dad have seen in about 15 years! And to make everything even more exciting, my grandpa is in a band called "The Lucky Draw" and they have a gig the first night we are there. It will be a great way to start off our vacation there!
Other than that, we don't have plans for this summer. My parents will be working and I'll be helping around the house and the yard. In my free time (which I have alot of) I'll be wakeboarding, boating, and just having fun with friends. I went on my first boating trip of this summer last week. There were 13 of us on the boat taking turns wakeboarding, skiing and getting thrown off! :) It was such a blast and it was great to be on the water again. It's my favorite summer hobby.
My dad also has a new hobby...he bought a 75 gallon saltwater fish tank! It was so heavy to carry into the house but now that he has it all set up, it was worth it. It looks awesome! We have a Dory fish, a Nemo fish, little crabs, snails, a sand eater, shrimp, anemoney's and a starfish and lots of coral. It's really cool!
Hope everyone is doing great. We love you all!
