i have a talented sister

Maggie

the most ambitious, creative, inspiring 8th grader i have ever met in my life.

she's also a geography GENIUS!

she won our school's middle school geo-bee a few weeks ago

& went to STATE!

she was so nervous it was adorable. 

she didn't win to go to nationals, but she still did awesome & really impressed me & my mom.

we celebrated with pizza afterwards downtown!

oh also.. this girl can DRAW!

a while ago she won an award with the art museum for this sweet 

colored pencil piece she did! 

holy crap right?!

cant wait to see what she does with her life!!

my best friend

Carolyn & me

we've known each other since (pretty much) birth...

(OMG she signed my yearbook!!)

elementary school

middle school

& of course

senior year : )

(side note- pretty sure after trying on hideous 80s wedding gowns

together at the local good will that we are someday having a 

double wedding. we were crying we were laughing so hard!)

Carolyn is:

hilarious ("if we wear pantyhose, they'll never know its us!")

awkward ("so i had this dream about coffee, light sabers, & aaron rodgers")

beautiful (see above)

the nicest person ever (took maggie to the hunger games!)

smart (always points out what doesn't makes sense)

a really slow eater : )

& an amazing hula-hooper (see below)

 STAY TUNED 

this summer for out completion of our 

SUMMER TO-DO LIST 2012

here's a sneak peak!!

happy wednesday xo

my boy.

I had great plans for Sunday.

I was going to stay up & finish the Hunger Games,

go to church,

finish up any last minute reading, 

& take maggie to the movie that she's been waiting & waiting for.

yeah. that didnt happen.

i did stay up until 1 reading.

then i woke up at 7 & read til 9:30am.

then i got ready for church (had on a very cute outfit btw)

i realized i was never going to finish the book in time if i went to church

& i couldnt let maggie down so i SKIPPED church :O

well things got weird when i was sitting in my car reading with jesse in 

the passenger seat...

(starbucks was far too noisy for the concentration i needed)

& i got to a gory part in the book,

fainted,

freaked jesse out,

(only the second time he's seen me faint!!)

he drove me home,

and sat with me alllllll day.

luckily carolyn took maggie to the movie for me

& pretended to be the big sister for a couple hours.

whatta good friend!! love her.

meanwhile jesse & i watched too much TV.

(for all those wondering, apparently HG was AMAZING & HIGHLY recommended.

but that isn't coming from me. ;) )

here's jesse & mcdonalds:

jesse & julia's mini photoshoot

then we got funny...

(awkward photo award)

happy wednesday

j u l i a 

to finish off pi week...

ill be sad if no one understands this.

thank you maggie.

and a pi joke...

3.14% of Sailors are Pi Rates.

Arrr!

love.

love is bringing tulips to your sick girlfriend.

 love is sitting & waiting while she takes too many pictures of said tulips.

i love him : )

pi... in the sky.

pi week doesn't end at simply eating a piece of pi(e).

so my school (or just the kids who wanted to skip 7th hour)

lined up in order of pi & released these balloons with tags asking 

people who find the balloons to email us & tell us where they were found.

im convinced mine will escape the atmosphere this year. : )

happy   π week!

happy pi day!

pi day is the math team's major school event of the year,

& we do it right.

we give everyone a choice of 6 kinds of pie,

banana cream, mint, oreo, apple, lemon meringue and french silk.

at the low price of $1.50 you get a huge piece of deliciousness.

i chose mint, because, well mint rocks.

pi day also means i get to hang out with my mathlete friends all day! : )

"unapple-tizing." -Russ Egly

so even though being a mathlete comes with some teasing...

it has its perks. 

happy pi day!

home sick & crafting

so today i was feeling icky & so i stayed home.

i did occupy my time though by crafting.

made some bible covers! 

the one below is for my good friend caitlin.
