16 Going on 17

My sister's 16th birthday was the other day. So now I can officially sing the 16 going on 17 song to her. I made sure to tell everyone that was her age that, she's 16 now, so she can go on dates. My parents aren't too thrilled about this new development in her life. Ha!

For her birthday, she got a curling iron and a straightener. She realized just a little bit ago that when I leave, my straightener will leave with me, so she needs one of her own. And I guess she just want's a curling iron. She asked me if it was the right kind to which I replied, I don't know. Hi! I have naturally curly hair. I don't know how to use a curling iron. I hope the day never comes that I have to learn how to use one, because then I'm screwed. I tried curling her hair for her. It didn't turn out so pretty.

In honor of her birthday/I was cleaning my room and didn't know where to put them, I covered her bed in squishy pony stickers. Then we spent a good ten minutes poking them and giggling hysterically.

She didn't want a cake for her birthday, she wanted a cookie. But not any cookie. Nope. She needed a five pound cookie. Whatever floats your boat sis! I couldn't find my camera last night when my mom was serving up the cookie with a pizza cutter, so that's why pieces are missing. In case you were wondering.

I hope my sister doesn't make near as many stupid mistakes as I did when I was 16. But then again, she's a lot smarter than I was then, so I'm sure she won't. In any case, here's some tips 16 year old!
1. Boys are stupid
2. Just because you're 16 doesn't mean they will ask you on dates
3. Even if they ask you on a date, you don't have to go
4. Never go on blind dates. Ever. When you're 16 that is. I know that's how our parents met and all, but boys are creepy now.
5. If boys write you 5 page love letters declaring their undying love for you, RUN. AWAY. 
6. Don't drive friends in the car until you've had your license long enough. They're probably just taking advantage of your new driving skills.
7. The parents are usually right. Unless they say you can't watch the Office. That is a great show, and I give you permission to watch it.
8. Boys are stupid. Especially of the 16 year old variety.
9. Don't do things just so you can be a rebel. Please note all my scary movie experiences
10. Did I mention boys are stupid?
11. You're going to need friends to get through high school. But the right kind of friends.
12. Don't stop doing anything you love.
13. Have fun!
14. Kissing is gross if it doesn't mean anything.
15. 16 year olds don't deserve to be kissed ;)
16. Remember I'll always be there for you, and I'm pretty much the best sister you're ever going to get. 

The End. Happy Birthday Brinley! :)

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
