..Smile..

"You make me smile like the sun

Fall outta bed

Sing like a bird

Dizzy in my head

Spin like a record

Crazy on a Sunday night"

"You make me dance like fool

Forget how to breathe

Shine like gold

Buzz like a bee..

Just the thought ofy ou can drive me wild!

... Oh, you make me smile!"

This is my most favorite song... ever!! I love it...

and it makes me Smile!

This week has been one crazy.... insane... overwhelming week. And at the same time, it was been amazingly fun. I had Laurels camp this week and the night before I left, me and my friends got together and it was just amazing being with them. As we sat there watching a movie, I looked around at each of my friends and really started to appreciate each one of them for being apart of my life.

It made me Smile!

And then it was Laurels Camp. Holy cow.. that was incredible. I will never forget it. Laurels Camp helped me open my eyes to what really matters in life, and where I want to go in life. It made me change my attitude. I want to be a better person.

It made me Smile!

I came home from Laurels Camp and it was time to party it up. The weekend was finally here. It was Syracuse Heritage Days this whole week. Every night I was at a park either meeting and greeting people, or just hanging out. Saturday was the Syracuse Parade. I loved the parade so much. It was so stinkin' cute to see little girls look up to you and yell, "Look mom!! There's a princess!!" The light that would be illuminating from their faces was incredible. It was so adorable.

It made me Smile!

Later that night, we had fireworks. All I have to say is that I love fireworks.. with my friends. We have such a good time together. One of my very good friends and I just hungout the whole time. Laughing, talking, and of course smiling! :) There was never a dull moment between us. "That one was green!!".. :) The fireworks were acutally really good this year. :) Loved every minute of it.

It made me Smile!

The fireworks finished and we headed back to my house to watch "Ugly Girl Dancing." Most embarassing moment of my life. I will never again show this movie to any one of my friends. Although, my friends laughed and they thought I was retarded... but that's okay! :) Even though I was dead ugly in that movie, they still love me! As I would say, "Oh my gosh, this is so embarassing!".. you'd pull me in tighter... :) I just have to keep thinking... "Ehh...screw it...who cares what I look like!?" I've got you.. and that's all I need! :)

...You Make Me Smile...:)

Same Same

You know you are really close to someone, when you start saying the same things at the same time! And when you think something, and your friend says what you are thinking!! Over this last week, I have really noticed who are my true friends and who my "trucho" friends are. "Trucho" means fake in spanish. Thank you Max for that information! Anyways... this week has opened my eyes. I have 3 really close friends, and we always do this to each other. Either talking face to face, on the phone, or even just texting each other. Happened to me today. Made me think, "Wow... they really care and they aren't 'trucho,' they love me for who I am and nothing else. I would like to say thank you to these friends of mine for always being there for me! You have made me who I am, and I would be lost without you! Love you guys! :)

The Good Life

Can I just say that this week has been one of the worst weeks of my life, but also one of the most fun weeks of my life!! :) This whole week, my family and I have been cleaning the house like crazy for Max's return. That is all I have been doing, cleaning. I haven't seen my friends and it sucked for a bit. Also, my friends have been gone! Basketball camp, soccer, softball, EFY, girls camp, laurels camp... etc. Although... things started to get a whole lot better when Max finally came home. That moment when I first saw him coming down the stairs was a moment I will never forget! Max is exactly the same person as when he left. Uplifting, supportive, and wouldn't hurt a fly! I'm so glad you are home Max! Ever since he has gotten home, the George Residence and gone through a change. We are all trying to be better. I like it. Today we cleaned the whole yard and the whole house. I must say it looks amazing. But.. while we were cleaning it, we were singing songs, talking to each other, and helping each other out. We weren't snappy at one another, or grumpy towards each other. I loved it. :) And then I hung out with my friends for the first time in what felt like forever! :) Oh, how I have missed them! We really didn't do anything, but just seeing them, after all of the camps and what not, was the best thing ever! Put a big smile on my face! :) Love my friends and I don't know what I would do without them in my life. Love my family too. There are the best.

What Happened?

Have you ever had that friend, that when you first met, it was like "click!" You were instantly friends, and then over time that friendship has just grown into something more? Maybe into bestfriends, or someone that you look at and see another brother. One of my very good friends is like this. I look at him, and he is pretty much like a brother to me. We just "clicked." I met this friend when I first moved out to Syracuse in 5th grade. I didn't meet him until 6th grade, and even though I only knew him for two weeks before I left and went to a different school, we became extrememly good friends in that amount of time. Junior High started and we talked, but we didn't really hang out. Even then though, there was some kind of bound. High School started and this is were I have realized how close of friends we are. We were always together, hanging out, laughing, and having a good time! I loved it! He was my 3rd brother! School ended, summer started... and things changed. It's not the same anymore. I've let him down. I'm worried.... I need that brother back. I just wanna know... what happened?.... it's killing me inside.

Can I just say that I love my brother Eric!! :) We have such a fun time together! I have two funny stories of why I love him so much! :)

Alright the first story. Eric and I went over to my sister's house to other day. She has the really... REALLY creepy puppet that she uses for her classes that is named "Kenny." The name is even creepy! But really... this puppet makes you want to vomit all over it. It wouldn't be so creepy anymore if you did vomit all over it... :) Anyways.. Eric and I HATE this puppet! Like with a deep passion from our hearts! After playing Halo with Sarah and Brian, it was time for those two to go to bed. They went to bed at like 10... that is extrememly early for Eric and I. So... while they were sleeping... Eric stole Kenny from their guest bedroom and we stole some string from my sister's sewing kit. We tied Kenny up and hung him from upstairs to downstairs! It looked like he was hanging and dead!! :) haha! It was awesome! His head was even tilted back... looked like it was chopped off! :) We planned it perfectly... because when Sarah woke up the next morning and walked down her stairs... BOOM!! There is Kenny... hanging limp and dead like a puppet should be!! haha! It was hilarious! All Eric's idea! He is a genius... Don't be jealous! :)

Second story. So... whenever summer comes for the George house... it really isn't summer for the first couple of weeks. Instead, it is like chore galore! Everytime we wake up and go upstairs, there is a huge list of chores that Eric and I have to do. Today the chore was to clean the storage room... yesterday it was to clean the pantry and organize it. Really mom!? Who is going to see the storage room and pantry!? For real! Anyways... we started cleaning the pantry yesterday and Eric found a box that was styrofoam. If any of you know me really well... I hate... HATE styrofoam! I don't know what it is about it... but it just makes me freak out. The sound, feel, and noise that it makes, makes me want to crawl in a hole and die. Like really... ugh... it gives me the shivers just thinking about it. Anyways... he thought it would be funny and he ripped the box in half. Then he thought it would be funny to chase me around the house wil rubbing the two pieces together making the most awful noise I've ever heard!! It was miserable!! I locked myself in a bathroom and sat on the ground plugging my ears!! AHH! It was full on torture. Afterwards though, it was really funny because I realized how much of an idiot I looked... sitting on the floor... plugging my ears...screaming so I couldn't hear the noise that was being made... haha! Oh boy!

As you can tell, my brother is a goofball and I love him for that. We had even more fun today cleaning the storage room. Lets just say Max will have a big surprise when he walks in his room next thursday that involes Darth Vadar and a pumpkin mask. Ha! I love Eric so much!! He is definitely my best friend! :) We always have such a fun time together! :)

Incredible

Can I just say that this summer has already been the best one yet!! My friends are amazing and we always have such a fun time together! Although, I would like to make this post about one friend in particular. This friend of mine, has gone through thick and thin with me. No matter what, this friend is ALWAYS there for me. When I just need one day to just cry, this friend is always there and has an open shoulder for me. When I need to just vent and scream at some one, this friend is there for me. This friend is truely incredible. I haven't seen this friend all summer. I want this friend to know that I love her so much. This friend is one of my very best friends, and this friend is beautiful inside and out. This friend of mine is Courtney Lyn Hamilton. She is amazing, and I want her to know that. I wouldn't be who I am without her in my life. We have had some hilarious times together. Lots of memories! Courtney, thank you so much for everything you do!! Know that I am always here for you if you need anything!! :) WE LOVE YOU!!! :)
