I'm not really planning on updating this blog much more but hey, it might be cool to have a kind of time capsule/dumping ground for thoughts and pictures I would like to stumble upon someday.
So my family moved to Oregon, Brynne and I came up first at the end of August and lived with my aunt and uncle for two months which was a really interesting and cool experience. Mom, Dad, and the rest of the kiddos came up to join us and move into our FREAKING LOVELY new home on November 9th 2015. The posts overlap a bit but I never mentioned it before so here you are. I immediately got to meet a new friend group thanks to our church and the beauty of having a ward family and seminary. I started out in Murphy Creek Ward and then a week after we moved into our house the ward boundaries changed and our family was shifted to Redwood Ward, so Brynne and I got two months in M.C. and my family one week =P That actually turned out perfect because I got to meet the young women in Murphy Creek AND the youth in Redwood Ward so I grew my friend circle even better. At school I became close with Naomi Fastidio after a while and then introduced myself to the new foreign exchange student when she showed up in my choir class because I had a feeling that I needed to/would want to know her - definitely a true prompting - Vilde Eisland from Norway is one of my best friends. Naomi recently moved to Seattle so I only actually knew her for 6 months, but that seems crazy when I say that because it feels like so much longer, I love her, she's exactly a year younger (we share a birthday!) and it feels like I met my mini me/twin person. Now pictures!

Day at the beach with my family - we don't live 5 minutes away anymore - I'm gonna miss it.
My besties! Naomi in the middle and Vilde on the right <3
Because my new friend Payton has the coolest yard ever. By far. Hands down. I'm obsessed with lights at night so you can imagine how in love with his trees I am.
Awe. One of our last get togethers before Naomi moved away, we're all so cute. Jasmine on the left, then Lexi, Izzy between her and I in the back, Naomi next to Izzy and Vilde on the right of me.
My cutie girls at the school talent show with me =)
PROM! I went to my senior Prom with my sister and our two dates and it was amazing =D
I'm a weirdo, there's really no hiding it.
I rest my case...
I love how candid this one is. My mouth is a gaping horse-like blackhole but you know, its got a cute emotion behind it.
And then our dates showed up - this is them striking a James Bond pose, meet Matt and Alex.
Mingling
Of course it's me, it's always me.
Hahahahahahaha...
That's all for now, I need to go to bed but I am having so much fun - it's crazy that it's almost over!!
