Vegas Baby!!! I'm so excited, I'm going to Vegas on Wednesday and staying until Friday. It's going to be so much fun! My aunt is taking me and she is always fun to be around. I'll tell you all about it when I get back and of course I'll have a lot of pictures.
Since the last time I was on here (which was Thursday) fun things have happened. I was in Flagstaff with friends and I absolutely loved being there. Friday was my friend's Jessie's birthday and it was a lot of fun. We walked around downtown and ate Thai food. I hope she had a great birthday. That night people had to work or already had other plans so her and I hung out for a while and then went with others to Lake Mary. It was a full moon so the lake was beautiful! It was cold so we didn't stay very long but it was good. Then we went back to the apartment and just hung out.
Saturday finally arrived and with it came the wedding!! It was so wonderful! Jordan and Kayla looked amazing and everything about them was in that wedding. They both love music and old fashion things so those things were involved, of course. The ceremony was outside at the Elk's Lodge and we were facing the mountains with nature everywhere. There aren't words to describe what it was like. The reception was even more amazing. There was a coffee bar and they gave out mugs as wedding favors. There was a concert also. They have a lot of talented friends and family members so people got to perform for the happy couple. It was so different from any other wedding that I've ever been to. I loved every minute of it.
Sunday my family came up to pick me up and drive me back to Phoenix. We went and saw my new house in Flagstaff and it is so big. We went to the arboretum because my grandpa came also and he loves gardens. It was the first time that my grandpa has visited me in Flagstaff so I wanted to do something that he would enjoy. He said that he had a nice time and liked that he could just relax. I drove home and he got to see my road aggressiveness. So, now it is Monday and my cousin and I are just hanging out watching Spongebob. Talk to you all when I get back from Vegas.

July 14th
Sitting in an apartment (not mine) watching netflix and talking on facebook. Finally! Some time to just relax. So I left off on Wednesday talking about memory lane opening up and me almost crying. Well, since then nothing truly exciting has happened. No wait, we did have a pirate party my last night in Ohio. It was actually really fun. We invited the neighbors over and had a cake that looked like an island, and a treasure hunt for the smaller kids. It was a great way to end a great visit. I just wish it didn't go so quickly. Before I even got on the plane I almost started crying cause I miss my family so much and I won't see them again for atleast two years.
Oh yea! I accidentally forgot my jacket and laundry basket out there and those are probably the two most importnat things that I would need, especially in Flagstaff. Thankfully, my dad is sending me a package with those items. Also, I had to have one of those pat downs at the security in Ohio. It was weird but at the same time I understood that it is necessary (not on me but other people). Anyway, after a fun flight I made it safely back to Phx. Honestly, I didn't want to go to Phoenix I would have loved to come straight to Flagstaff but whatever. I've never been a fan of Phoenix and the only reason that I lived there was because my mom made me.
So I spent about 4 days with my grandparents and it was ok. I mean we didn't really do anything exciting except maybe run errands with my grandma. On Tuesday my aunt came over and her and I went to go get a pedicure. It was my first ever and it was interesting. I realize that I'm a little ticklish on the bottom of my feet and it felt weird to have someone touch my feet that much (or at all really). That was probably the most fun that I had while in Phx.
On Thursday (today) I made it up to Flagstaff. Hung out with friends and waited in line for a movie that I didn't even see.lol. It was fun though. Hanging out with friends is always fun. And now I'm sitting in my friends' apartment while they are getting ready to watch Harry Potter. I might be a little jelous that they are watching it but I know that I'll get to see it with my aunt. We saw the very first one together so we should end it the same way we started it, together. Well, that's all. I'm going to bed now. Good night!

July 7th
Sorry I didn't write anything this past Monday but as it was the Fourth I wasn't home to write anything. This past week has been so much fun! I went to my cousin, Katie's wedding on Saturday and she looked beautiful! She's always dressed in jeans and t-shirts so when she walked down the aisle in that dress I didn't recognize her at first. It was an amazing wedding and reception afterwards. I got to spend the night with my other cousin, Amanda (she's sisters with the bride). After the reception Katie had an after party for people in the bridal party and I was invited to go also. It was a lot of fun. We went out to the best man's parents' farm and we had a small bonfire out there. Also, some alcohol was there (mostly beer though which I don't like) but I was responsible and didn't drink a whole lot. We stayed up until 1:30 in the morning and then I had to get up for church. I didn't complain too much because I wanted to go to church since it was my last Sunday here. After that we all went to my grandma's for lunch. I remember telling you all that she does the best cooking ever and she didn't disappoint. She made a chicken noodle casserole with homemade noodles. Amazing! Then we came home where our neighbors invited us to a bonfire that they were having. It was fun and there was a lot of good food. I had a pizza sandwich cooked in a pie iron over the fire. So delicious! Also, Becca flew in Sunday evening so I went with my dad to pick her up. It was nice just being able to spend time with my dad (it was an hour drive to get to the airport). We talked about things that I wouldn't normally talk to my dad about.
The next day was July 4th and the nieghbors made us breakfast on the fire. It was really good but there was a lot. I'm not a big breakfast person so I didn't eat too much. After that we went to my grandma's for a family gathering. It was so great setting up the picnic tables and bringing all that food outside. Also, being able to see family members that I haven't seen in who knows how long. I saw cousins that were once babies and are now in preschool. I can't believe how much everyone has grown. Shortly after lunch, me and a group of cousins went for a walk down the road just like in the old days. Memory lane opened up and it was great. When we got back it was time for dessert and all of it was great. My grandma made a peanut butter pie that was heavenly. Then people started leaving and we started putting things away. My grandma was busy with everything and so I tried to get her to sit down and relax for a little. I would have had an easier time teaching a fish to fly; she is always up and doing something. I love my grandma and I wanted her to relax because she had done more than enough that day.
Anyway, Tuesday comes and my family (mainly my dad) had decided that we were gonna take a trip that day. We woke up at 4 in the morning to drive to Niagara Falls. It was a tough road trip. It only took 4 hours to get to New York but when you are stuck in the back seat with as little space as possible, it seems so much longer. So, we get to New York and the truck starts making a weird noise. Apparently, the air pump is broken and the iodits who made the truck only put one belt in the engine. Therefore, if that belt says freezes because the air pump is broken and shooting cold air on the belt and the belt breaks, then the whole engine with seizes up and we would have been stranded. So, we got to New York had breakfast and then turned around and came back. Not exactly how I wanted to spend my Tuesday but it was nice hanging with the family (although sitting in that backseat was awful). We get back and go swimming in the neighbor's pool instead.
Wednesday was the best day! I told my dad that I wanted to go to Mifflin which is the small town that I grew up in. So we drove there and I almost started crying. We saw the old house and stopped for ice cream at the corner place (which was right up the street from the house). I got a picture of the front of the house and I couldn't stop looking at it. Then we went to my old elementary school and it was like walking down memory lane. I had to really hold myself together cause I almost lost it. If I do end up moving back to Ohio, then I want to move back to Mifflin. It's a small town with only two roads and one intersections; if you blink you might miss it.
Well, that's how my week has gone. Oh! I was freaking out because I didn't have any place to live and I almost started crying (I've been close to crying a lot this week). Thankfully, I have a place now. I will have my own room and no one will get it before I get there. I feel like this giant weight is off my shoulders now. I can't stop smiling. Well, that's all. I hope everyone had a great July 4th. Talk to you all later. my next post will probably be from Phoenix since I'm flying back there on Saturday. My visit in Ohio was too short and I'm not ready to leave but I will visit again soon.
