Homecoming 2012!

Ladies and Gents . . .

I went to my very first homecoming dance last night .

And it was truly fantastic . : )

To start the week off, there was lots of cram and stress to put together a fantastic half time. Us cheer girls  ( and boys ) joined together with our dance team ( Orchasis) and from what I could see / heard after, we did great! 

The week also consisted of 

• Hanging posters on all of the football players houses ( partay )

• Ordering my iPhone 5!!!!!!!

Yes. 

• Decorating the bruin bowl. And it looked GOOD!

• And ( wait for iiiiiiiiiiittttt ) THE HOMECOMING GAME!

Gotta love those friday night lights. 

 We played Provo.

Correction : We beat Provo

But the worst part?

My best friend got hurt.

I honestly can't even tell you what happened in the game after the first quarter.

I was a little thought occupied. 

He's going to be okay though. I know he is. And he'll be back out on that field before we know it. : )

I love him. <3

We went to Iceberg after the game. Only because that's where all of the Orem High people go after their games, so we stuck out a little. 

Hehe, that's what to boys painted on their legs for the game! That leg being Truxton's. 

They're babes. Let me tell you. 

Now for the best day of the week:

SATURDAY!

The day of the homecoming dance. 

I got asked! This is how he did it!

My date picked me up and we headed up to Lagoon with our group! 

Kind of look retarded . But it's all good . I was way too excited to look normal .

Kind of blurry . . . but meet the group!

It was so much fun!

Now, meet my date!

This is Truxton. 

( My current crush, but shh don't tell anyone )

The night was definitely perfect because of him .

I couldn't have asked for a better date! 

And man, did he look good . : )

But, don't just take my word for it!

Let's get to the good stuff

*Queue the long line of pictures*

Getting ready. I did my own hair . . .

Never doing THAT again . Ever .

But

The finished product!

Just a side note, I put his boutonniere on by myself. First of any of his dates to put it on him themselves. First boutonniere I've ever had to put on. No big. 

Favorite picture that was taken all night right here!

Me and Nikki! ( Ignore the fact I'm totally slouching : ( blah)

Hehehe : ) yup. the boy with his eyes closed/asian eyes is my date. Back off girls.

Now, probably my favorite thing I was wearing was my corsage.

This is a day after picture, so the flowers are a little wilted, but it is still so beautiful. 

The metal things held it on my wrist and I was too lazy to put them on for the picture, but the important part is the pearls : )

I was blown away : )

More pictures to come.

Anyway, we had pictures done and went to the Pizza Factory for dinner!

That's a good looking group right there. And, yes, I am holding my leftovers.... Awkward.

Then we headed off to the dance!

My favorite part of the dance was the slow songs . . . : )

But the rest was super fun too!

After the dance was over we went to Wendy's, got frostys, then came back to my house to watch Mean Girls.

Which I slept through . . .

That's probably a good thing though, because I would have bugged everyone with my mad quoting skills!

Overall, my Saturday was so amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better date : )

XOXO,

T is for...

Twitterpated. : )

Obviously...

Who picked a winner? 

This girl.

Sometimes, people come into your life for a reason.

Or in this case;

many reasons. 

: )

What else does T stand for?

Thoughtful. ; )

And thankful!

But that's all.

Maybe one day I can claim another T word . . .

But for now. 

Song of choice at this moment. 

I'm such a sap.

XOXO,

P.S. He even got me purple flowers. And I've yet to have an empty vase. Seriously? This boy . . . : )

Pop Kiss-offs vs Today's Happy Pop Hits

Pop Kiss-offs.

The songza playlist I'm currently blasting into my eardrums.

Description: Been wronged by your sleazy ex? Tired of your lover's lies? Vent your broken-hearted frustration with this collection of violent and defiant breakup songs. And remember: you deserve better. 

Now, before you draw conclusions or anything, I have not been wronged by my sleazy ex, nor am I tired of my lover's lies. Refer here for my explanation of my single-ness. It's actually pretty great

The words that stuck out to me in the description are those that are bolded and italicized. Why? Because they're great.

frustration; Yeah. I'd say I'm a little frustrated with myself/life right now.

you deserve better; Normally when people say that, it's about an ex special someone. In this case, it's about an ex self. No, it isn't about a boy. Again, refer to my 'single-ness' post.

I hate ranting blog posts. Mine or anyone else's.

So, no, this isn't a ranting post.

But I'm not too thrilled about pretty much everything about me right now.

As I read through these different quotes, I realize I have nothing to say. They pretty much sum it up. As for regrets, I challenge everyone to set their life priorities straight. 

Sometimes, they get a little foggy.

Some people really never realize how good they have it.

Has your mom woken you up, make you breakfast, did something for you, and/or kiss you goodbye in the past week? Go tell her thank you. Some people don't get to come home to her everyday.

Arguing with your siblings? Be the bigger person. Some people don't get to be there everyday in their lives to watch them grow up, give them advice on love and school, buy them ice cream for their first heart break, or tell them yes, their outfit looks good. 

Appreciate. Because sometimes, you don't take them for granted like you should.

And it makes you feel so terrible. 

Make them your first priority. They're way more important than friends.

I wish my family could know how much I really love them.

As for life, when you have the flu and two ear infections, everything gets foggy. You do stupid things, make stupid decisions, and just don't really think. Why? Because it literally hurts to think. And I'm pretty it makes you super emotional.

This is seriously the weirdest blog post ever. 

Oh man. The life of an almost 15 year old teenage girl. 

So crazy.

Not really. 

I don't feel like I have anyone that I can really talk to about my problems. So I guess I just blog about them and how to solve them . . . Whatever. It helps.

I just want to dance my life away.

That is all. 

Life gets better guys. Just hang in there. You're the only one who can really make you happy.

"Things will get better in the end. If they aren't better, then it isn't the end."

Word.

My playlist now: 

Today's Happy Pop Hits.

XOXO,

Bad To Good To Great

I fully agree with this quote. Crying is a release of emotion. 

Good thing to, because at my grandma's funeral I blubbered like a baby. 

It was perfect. 

Her casket was beautiful.

The flowers were gorgeous

She looked so pretty.

All and all, it was a bitter sweet moment in life.

It did get better though. 

When I got home my dear friend Nikki kidnapped me, and we went up to Culver's in Lehi!

Jesse and his little brother accompanied us, as well as the rest of Nikki's family. 

Let me just say, they have the best shakes EVER.

Not to mention, Nik thought one of the waiter's was hot so we discreetly gave him her number.

We wrote her number on a napkin, folded it up, and had another waiter send him over to our table. 

When he came over, Jesse gave him the napkin and informed him that on it was one of our five numbers (Nikki's, Jesse's, Calli's, TJ's, or mine).

Let's just say, I don't think that has happened to him, well, ever. 

He responded with, "Wow, thanks guys! That's great, I really appreciate it!" And more awkward things. 

Then, on the drive home, we blasted this:

Pat Benatar. The best. The music video is pretty great too. Gotta love the 80's! 

We hung out at Nikki's for a little, mostly doing yoga and interpret dace to the Lion King music in her front yard. Sometimes, we have those moments. . . 

Then I had a date, so she took my home!

And what did I find on my front porch? A box. Addressed to yours truly. : )

Inside this box

Was another box. Inside that box

Was another box. Inside that box

Was a package wrapped in duck tape. Inside the package

Was another duck tape wrapped package. Inside this

A duck tape wrapped envelope. Inside this

Was my homecoming date's name! Yay! Homecoming is going to be so much fun!

Now it's time for dress shopping. . . : )

Shortly after that, my date picked me up.

We went and picked up our sushi, 

and then climbed to the roof of a six story building to eat it! 

It was so amazing! We had an awesome view and saw the occasional firework! 

Then we went to Sonic. It's kind of becoming a tradition for us. . .

Definitely on my Top 10 Best Nights!

It made my day yesterday. 

My day went from super sad, to good, to great. : )

XOXO,

Halli

Sometimes, a Girl Falls in Love . . .

With a pair of shoes. ; )

Photos, Pranking, Playing, Living

Photo shoots. Oh, how I love them.

I have this friend Milan and lets just say she is an AMAZING photographer! I mean, you'd have to be pretty amazing when you have families asking you to take their family pictures! 

Check out her blog:

Also, school started . . .

Yay. . . . . . . .

Guess who forgot to take first day of school pictures.

This girl. 

It's a tradition. And I forgot! 

Like everyone else, I have great classes, and I have boring classes. 

But, it's life.

And life + high school = drama

There really is a 'Mean Girls' quote for everything. 

I did, however, hang out with a fantastic friend yesterday!

We hung out, went to the girls soccer game, and went to Wendy's, where I received a napkin flower from a cute little old man!

Talk about blushing! He did open with, "I looked over here and couldn't help but notice a beautiful girl sitting here with three boys and no flower!"

It pretty much made my day! No one does cute things like that anymore!

Alex, Weston, Truxton and I aren't super creative when it comes to pranks.

We also put straws that spelled out YOLO on one girls truck, but that was the extent it got to.

I finally got to see my close up shot that will be in our cheer case this year!

Not bad. Stupid braces.

Well, that's all for now. 

XOXO,

Halli

P.S. I leave you with this song. : )

Not because it means anything to me at the moment, it's just good!

Enjoy. . .
