Ta da! That post was exactly one year ago! Man, it was so cool to look back at that. So much has changed in one year.
Hmm, my dream is not really becoming a photographer anymore. I always will be one but I don't believe it is my calling. I took two of my friends' senior pictures but I haven't done much else semi-amateur photog-wise. mostly because I have no room to store the photos I take. silly laptop.:'(
Home life is a lot better. My dad has a steady job and my mom is still working where she has for years. I am working almost 40 hours as a third grade teacher/counselor at my church's day camp. I have grown more tolerant and loving of my brother and we fight a lot less now. He has also improved in tolerating things out of his control as well. I am helping my parents by being more responsible and it feels good.
High school is over. I graduated and now going from senior to freshman. I will be attending my local community college for free for two years. About half of my friends are going out of town for school and I look foreword to sending them lots of letters and care packages and developing new friendships and growing up with my friends staying in town.
.I am currently listening to my Happy Songs playlist on Grooveshark. The song is "Once Upon A Dream" from Sleeping Beauty.
The Day
.I woke up at 6:00 but didn't get out of bed until 7 because it was raining.
. I got caught up in watching some DVDs such as LOST season 3, but read the reading from Jesus Calling from Julie & Wes for July 10th
. I went to work and we watched Rio. I had my break during the movie and was offered some of our janitor David's birthday cake. I love our church family.:)
. A feather came out of a girl named Raigen's headband and we started blowing it up in the air and giggling like crazy trying to keep it up. I felt purely joyful in that moment. My baseball pitching strut made Gabe smile, which is rare.
. I left my lights on and my battery was dead. Mom picked me up and we dropped by the library, Walmart, and got a pizza. I got Ugly Betty Season 4.
.Dad taught me how to jump start the Jeep and we came home.
. Friday I have work off and plans to go with my friend Melissa and some other friends from youth to go to the lake for a day and I am very excited.
The Pictures
. I am the same height as my 17 year-old mark on my door frame.
Currently, I am just getting my associate of arts (Gen Eds) and I plan on exploring child care specialties and anything involving caring and loving on others as God has called me to. Still praying for God to reveal the details in His time and for patience in my heart and worry-filled mind.
The Pictures will come when I have room or a new laptop to store them on. Keep the suggestions rolling! Thank you Anonymously Me, I won't get an HP.;)

Amazing Realizations I've Had Over The Past 46 Days.
1. God does answer prayers, especially in ways truly more wonderful than anything you could have hoped for.And the timing, always beautiful and perfect.
2. Working 40 hour weeks is hard. But that is the cost of being an adult & feeling independent and millions of people do it everyday.
3. I don't think my calling is with young children. Middle school maybe. Waiting on God for this one...
4. Sleeping for 14 hours is a great idea!
5. It is funny how you can spend a week outdoors and the first thing you want to do in the morning is go out on your bike.
6. Not everything that is lost or broken has to be lost or broken forever.
7. Sometimes you just want to kiss people on the cheek because they are so wonderful and precious to your heart. And if they are cool with it, it's okay to carry that out.
8. Watching the BBC version of the Great Gatsby might help you feel less/more lonely.
9. I haven't done yoga for 7 weeks and it is awful.
10. I want to be the Betty Suarez of my workplace.
11. British flag bikinis are kind of perfection.
12. Carry rain gear everywhere, even when you are positive it won't rain; it is a very good idea.
13. I will never forget you.
So, it has been crazy and a crazy long time since an update. Here's what it's been like,
Week 1: Choir Tour
Week 2: Vacation Bible School and work afterwards
Week 3: Work, work, work!
Week 4: Camp as middle school counselor
Week 5: Work for two days, then 3rd/4th grade counselor for rest of week
Week 6: Back to work, the 4th, and work!
I don't even have all the Choir Tour pictures and videos uploaded yet. My laptop get full so quickly! Though I haven't been on top organization (or blogging), I have been keeping a mean budget, saving for Harry Potter World, College, and for a new....drumrolllllll............ LAPTOP!!!!!
I don't know what kind to get, but I'd prefer something that has more than 73 GB of hard drive space, and would be great to take to college with me. Oh, and below $500 would be sweet too. Tell me all about your favorite laptop, weather it is yours for realz or just the best you've seen. Because I have no idea of what to get.
I just beautified my room majorly in the last two days, so I am ready to start doing yoga, enjoying TV shows fully, and writing graduation thank-yous and letters! I saw Drew before going to camp the second time. 5 weeks without seeing one of your best friends is rough. He looked half a foot taller and so different!
Here is 39 seconds of some of my favorite moments in the past few weeks, via my friends' Vines.

HEYYY!
The Phases!!!(Phase 1: Laughter, 2: Crying, 3: Silence, 4: REWARD!!)I don't really get it either...

Until I get more room on my computer/ get a new laptop, posting pictures is going to be really hard to do. Did you like hearing about Choir Tour in posts about each day like last time?
