so being a junior this year i got the chance to go the prom!! it was so much fun and a lot better than i expected!! even though im not a girly girl it is still fun sometimes to get to wear heels and get my hair and make-up done!!
this is a picture of me and my best friend ally!! we had so much fun at prom and im glad i had her by my side the whole time!! this i my favorite picture of us from that night and i promise this isnt possed. we were laughing at each other cause we both were pulling up our dresses at the same time!! this is why she is my best friend!!

this is me and my date justin!! we have been friends for years now and i couldnt have asked for a better date!! my mo and his mom are really good friends so they were beyond excited that we were going together!! justin is so goofy and im glad i had a date who could make me laugh all night!!

these are our cute little friends we won at after!! me, morgen, and ally had such a fun time at after prom together!! getting to play all those games together were so much fun! it was a good break period to eat a lot of food and get some time away from our dates!! we really only played three games because we became addicted to them haha!! im so happy i had such amaing people around me to make my first prom such an awesome time :)

Myrtle Beach :)

Spring break is always something to look forward to each year! My family and our family friends go to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina! Our family friends have a daughter who is now 18, a son who is 17, and another daughter who is 13. The are the nicest family and we love having them around!
We first went to Myrtle Beach my freshman year spring break! we didn't plan going with the fox family but they were just there the same time we were! we did everything together that spring break and it only seemed right to go together the next year! we have so much fun together and we all get along great!!

This is a picture of my family in front of The Giant Crab!! its our favorite place to eat down there and we got at least twice while we are there!! there hasnt been a time we didnt go there when we were in myrtle beach! It a big seafood buffet and i dont think i ever see my dad eat more food in one sitting than i do when we are here!! its such a fun place to be and we love it!
this is a ppicture of ally, alex, and i on the beach! it was our second year and after a 12 hour car ride we couldn't wait to hit the beach! during the longs days on the beach we could be found tanning, in the ocean, playing football, and even rarey we will be on a run!! if we aren't at the beach you can find us poolside or flirting with the cute tiki bar workers hahaha. it safe to say we share the best vacation memories together and i wouldnt trade them for anything!

ACL injury


Tearing an ACL is one on the most painful things you can ever encounter in your life. Last year while playing backetball i had the wonderful pleasure of tearing mine. During our second to last practice of the season i was going in for a layup when a teammate of mine tried cutting me off and her knee went straight into mine. I twisted my knee to the right completely and i just fell to the ground. I laid on the ground holding my knee, screaming words i probably shouldnt have been saying. Next came all the doctors appointments and all the MRIs and the preparation for my surgery. After surgery a whole new story came.
This brace became my best friend for the next 2 months after my surgery. We ate slept and breathed together. This brace was set at a certain degree each month to help get my knee mobilized while giving it the support it need. After my knee was to the point were i didnt need to wear it, i was a little scared to not have it on. Now it is in my closet waiting to make a return.
Next came the physical therapy which was a pain in the butt. I had it twice a week every week for an hour. It amazed me how little muscle i had in my leg. it has taken a long time to bring it back and truthfully its not all back yet. doing the machines and the exercises made me realize how hard coming back from this injury is gonna be. although im not in PT anymore, I still work almost everyday to have my strong and healthy knee back!
