Origins

My car's name is Fender, and for good reason.

It all started two years ago, before it was even my car mind you, over labor day weekend.

Me and Lauren decided to take advantage of the limited amount of laws that are enforced up in the Uintahs :)
Our joy ride was cut short. Lauren had backed up and hit the right side of the car into a tree!
It was then given the name Fender

Fast forward two years later:

I got dropped home from cross country practice expecting a great "surprise" as my dad called it.
I was excited! Maybe I was getting a nice gift!
I was definitely surprised to find that my gift was actually that fact that my grandpa and ran into Fender, denting the OTHER side of the car.

It got fixed
Fender became BEA-utiful
and the name kind of died away.
All was well.

Two months after Fender was made gorgeous, I backed up and...

hit the right side of the car into a tree!

Lovely really, Fender got his name back that's for sure.

Yesterday I had the misfortune of getting into a little accident outside of Pepperwood.

When the guy said it was just a little Fender Bender, through the tears, I started to laugh.

The end.

People

A person is like a rope.

The more stress put on it, the weaker and more frayed it becomes.

The rope can't handle as much, and finally

it snaps

The one thing you can count on..

My mom always tells me that the only thing you can count on in life is change.

After the past week, I've come to cherish this quote so much more than I ever have.

Things happen for a reason, things change for a reason. It's all apart of living.

Sometimes the change that happens isn't what we want it to be, but if we never went through something challenging, we couln't look forward to something changing for the better.

I've decided right now that I'm just going to take life day by day and accept change.

It's the only thing that you can do to stay sane!

Hahah julie don't kill me, but I'll use these pictures as examples :)

UEA WEEKEND

I have been so lazy it's a tad bit pathetic.
That's okay though :)

I have actually done something this weekend I promise!
Here's a list

1. Successfully asked someone to the Halloween Dance!
2. Successfully helped Rachel and Tiff ask to the Halloween Dance!
3. Ran Up At Alta Ski Resort! It was absolutely freezing!
4. Played Smash Brother's Brawl?? Some weird video game but I dominated!
5. Hit A Tree with my car... in the exact same spot as last time
6. Drove around listening to 101.1 with Caesey. I don't suggest ever tuning into that station
7. Got Answered back to the Halloween Dance :)

Now all of this seems so stupid to everyone else but I know that I had fun!

I guess the real reason that I posted this was to make myself feel better, because I really thought I hadn't done anything over UEA!

P.S.

Region is in five days

Can I Just Say...

TRYING TO CRAM A WHOLE SUMMER'S WORTH OF MEMORIES INTO YOUR BRAIN...

Is definitely not for the weak.

I suggest a journal of some sort.

Or a picture album!

Neither of which I'm very good at keeping up with :)

Laziness Prevails

Last week was FBLA Nationals in Anaheim, California.
All of my friends that attended with me will have these extravagant posts about how great it was blah blah blah. Don't get me wrong it really was one of the most amazing things I had been to in MY LIFE, but.....
I'm too lazy to type out a play by play about everything that happened.
Therefore I will type a short and sweet list of the things I will remember the most :)

• Julie's text messages full of quotes from the week
• Disneyland ( Space Mountain :) )
• Mine and Zoe's Rebellious Saturday Night, no matter how hard we try and forget it
• Rainforest Cafe
• Opening and Closing Ceremonies
• The Beach
• The Instyler ha!
• Laughing with Paige and Julie at 2 in the morning :)
• Girl Chit Chat's with Jules and Zo
• Dancing in front of our Hotel Room Window... in just our underwear!

There ya have it :)
