Week Four

Feb 22-{editing photos} Today was pretty uneventful, went back to school, tried to do some work, but i was pretty unfocused. Me and kristen went to the gym after supper, and then we watched the olympics, ice dancing, and the canadian pair won the gold metal! Their routine was flawless though, they were in perfect sync with each other the whole time! It was amazing to watch. 

Feb 23-{Quote book} I did absolutely no work today at school, it is so hard to stay focused! We had a really good lunch though at tim hortons, and sat in the car and talked for the afternoon. And then after supper my bed broke! i went to sit down on it to do some homework, and the box spring fell down. The two metal poles in the middle for support, bent and the nail wasn't holding it anymore, so me and dad fixed it, and now i am laying over 12 inches lower then before. 

Feb 24-{20 min on clock} Me and erinn went to the gym today, and usually i walk for 5 minutes on the treadmill, and then run for 15 and then cool down, and do 10 minutes on the bike, well today i ran for 20 minutes straight instead, which is a big accomplishment for me, and is hard for me to do because i don't focus, so thats why there's 20 minutes on my ipod, and i am very proud of myself, next time i'm going for 25!

Feb 25-{cupcakes} we're having a dodgeball tournament at school right now, and i have a team with some friends, we played two games today, we won both of them!! and the finals are tomorrow. Today was a pretty productive day for me, i seemed to get a lot done, so that's good considering what the rest of my week was. Also our school had the open house today all day, and i had a really good talk with one of the parents, and answered a lot of her questions, and i think i may ahve convinced her to let her daughter come here! image via Tumblr

Feb 26-{sunset} our school finished the dodgeball tournament today, we played almost 5 games, 3 in a row, and we won every single one. So we made it to the final game, and we were playing a team that was undefeated, we were playing so good, and then we all got out! So we got second place overall, but we were surprised that we even made it that far, so we're pretty proud of that! I Love sunsets, they always make me smile, so thats my picture of the day.

Feb 27-{Sam's house} I basically sat around, on the couch and watched TV all day with kristen. i needed that relaxing time though! I went to Sam's house tonight too with our usual group of people, and it was alot of fun, we just hung out and played some games.

Feb 28-{Skiing} we got some tickets to a westjet day at Nakiska, from our family friend, so me dad erinn and kristen left pretty early to go skiing today, the weather was fabulous, sunny and warm all day, but me erinn and kristen 's legs were hurting really bad, and we were exhausted so we couldn't get much skiing in and we left early, but it was really fun! We're watching the closing ceremonies for the olympics tonight to, Canada has 15 gold medals for these games! And it has been a real pleasure to watch!

Week Three

Feb 15-{Journals} I have recently started writing in my journals alot. I did the 21 day challenge with Rhonna Farrer, and since then i have written for 160 days in a row, i am trying to get to 365! It helps me get alot off my chest, and is kind of a form of theraphy for me. Today was Family day in ALberta so no school! I did some english homework, and then Me Dad and Erinn went to see avatar in the afternoon. These are all the journals i've had since grade 7 i think.

Feb 16-{pancakes} i Love having breakfast for dinner, it's one of my favorite meals, and it doesn't happen to often. Today is Shrove tuesday, Easter is really early this year, so of course we had to have pancakes! I have decided to give something up for lent this year as well, last year it was meat, yes that's right 40 days as a vegetarian. This year i am giving up drinks, i am only allowing myself to drink water, milk because it's good for you and either white tea of green tea if i want something hot. So nothing with sugar basically, This is going to be hard for me because i drink coffee and juice everyday, and pop occasionally, and i hardly ever drink water, which is why I'm doing this, so i can drink more water, so wish me luck!

Feb 17-{red mitten's} These are the olympic mitten's that they made for the Vancouver olympics this year, aren't they so cute??  I had to photograph them because i LOVE them! It's perfect for today too because me Kristen and Dad watched some olympic events all night, we watched speed skating, cross country skiing, and some half pipe snowboarding! Which was amazing! But my favorite event is figure skating, i love it, i think it's because of those lessons iow so we went to dinner  took when i was younger!

Feb 18- {Grandpa} It is grandpa powell's 86th birthday tomorrow so we went to dinner with him and grandma. They were both telling us stories of when they were younger, and ended up telling us how they met! It was at a friends bridal shower, and then grandpa went away for awhile but wrote to grandma every day. I love my grandparents, and i cherish every moment i'm with them.

Feb 19- {skittles} I wanted this picture to be of jellybelly jelly beans, but when i went to superstore, they didn't have any, so i got skittles instead. I love skittles, or any fruity candy for that matter. Today was a good day, we went to the farmers market by school for the first time in a long time! I had a beef and onion pie from simple simon's pie, and it was good!! And then i watched greys anatomy, private practice and survivor heros versus Villians after school, and went to the gym!

Feb 20-{The fray} today couldn't have come fast enough for me, the day of the fray concert! When we found out that they were coming to calgary me, erinn and Kristen were so excited. They are one of my favorite bands, and pretty much in first place for me. Their music means so much to me, and has helped me through some really tough times, me and erinn took so many pictures and recorded some of our favorite songs, but the concert seemed too short to me, but definitely worth it! <3>

Feb 21-{Me and Erinn} Technically this was taken yesterday, but i put it as my profile picture on facebook today. This was taken at the switchfoot concert last night. I worked today at 10am, with Amy who i haven't seen in months so it was nice to see her. And we went over to mom's for dinner, and i got a letter from mount royal thanking me for applying. Canada had a hockey game against The USA in the olympics, and we lost 3-5 so that was disappointing, but overall good day!

Week Two

Feb 8-{ipod} I LOVE my ipod, can't get enough of it, and i would say it was one of the best purchases i've made, defiantly worth the $200 that i spent on it. I use it everyday to listen to music and play games when i'm bored! I went to the gym tonight around 8:30, and it was almost empty! i got a great workout in.

Feb 9-{coffee and Bagel} I am not addicted to coffee, yet.... i drink it because i like the taste, may seem crazy i know, but that's the truth, And i love blueberry bagels with cream cheese! Yummy! We had our grade 12 retreat at school today, with a guest speaker who was really funny. He had a great life story about running accross the great wall of china, and being an acting coach to Hilary Swank. It was really cool to hear his story and very inspiring!

Feb 10-{tumblr} I'm not sure how i found tumblr, but i stumbled upon it one day, and boy am i glad i did! It's basically a blog site, but the blogs are all focused on pictures. And i have saved over 500 pictures in iphoto from tumblr, i don't know what i would do without out it! It has so many incredibly inspiring pictures! I had another really great workout today too! i sweated more then i ever have! And boy did it feel good!

Feb 11-{Shoes lined up} I got to sleep in today, teachers convention this weekend so 5 days off! I went to tim hortons to get a coffee and breakfast sandwich, and then got called in to work. Sue's husband had a stroke, so she went to be with him, and they needed someone to fill in for her. It was pretty busy which was a nice change from all the slow sundays! This is a picture of shoes, because i am a shoe addict, can't get enough! My favorite pair right now, are my UGS and those gold flats! SO comfortable!

Feb 12 -{Canada olympic team} Today was a lazy day! I Made cinnamon buns for breakfast, and then around one o'clock me and Erinn went to the gym and then to walmart to get nail-polish, i got a really nice turquoise color! Kristen came over for supper, we made pizza, and then me and mom watched the opening ceremonies for the olympics in vancouver! This was the canadian team coming into the ceremonies! It was magical to watch, and the sense of pride you feel is amazing, and that was just from sitting on the couch, so i can only imagine what it feels like to actually be there!

Feb 13-{bracelet} Me Erinn and Kristen went to Market collective today! They had some of our favorite jewelry stores there and i bought a bracelet, shown in the picture. One of my bracelets broke a couple months ago and i've been looking for a replacement and i found it! Then we had lunch and went shopping at some cute boutiques in kensington, and then went to see Valentines Day the movie. We also found the cutest boutique too right by crave cupcakes, and i saw a gorgeous headband that i am going to wear for grad this year!

Feb 14-{Valentine's} This heart sticker was on our mailbox at mom's today with a valentine from Jesse Kristen's friend. It was so cute i had to take a picture, and i put a quote from sara dessen who is one of my favorite authors! I also made valentines for my family, but that will be my picture for tomorrow! 

Week one

Feb 1- {cupcake}today was the first day of my new semester, my final semester of high school to be more specific! I am so excited! I've worked so hard to get to this point and i have made my second semester so easy for myself. February is when valentine's day is, so i've decided to do 28 days of Love, and do my picture a day of all the things i love. 

Feb 2- {anthropologie} Being back at school is tough, it is so hard to concentrate long enough to get anything done. Me and Dad took grandma's car which i am driving currently to the shop, it's making a funny sound so it needs some repairs. This is a picture of the anthropologie store, i love all of their clothes but i cannot afford any of them! It's eye candy and inspiration for me and i love it!

Feb 3- {Macbook} Today was kind of productive, i almost finished my religion unit, and i played a game on my ipod kind of like traffic jam but with wooden blocks, and i got through about 55 puzzles! At least it is using my brain! This is a picture of my Macbook, and it's been about a year since i got it, a year friday, and i LOVE it. it's my baby! 

Feb 4-{Dance} We had our February Formal today at school. So i got all dressed up, and did my hair and went to the dance with Biancha, Angie, Chris, David Brian and his girlfriend Kate. We had a lot of fun! But my feet were hurting so bad by the end of the night. 

Feb 5- {Taking Pictures} This is Erinn's polaroid camera, that used to be our grandpa Boettcher's camera. She doesn't have any film for it yet, but it's great decoration! I Love photography, how can capture one moment forever. I spent my afternoon printing pictures too so i can scrapbook tonight!

Feb 6-{Tim's cup} I Love tim horton's coffee, it is pure heaven! And they're vanilla dip doughnuts with rainbow sprinkles are just as good! Me and Erinn went to Chinook and southcentre to get a new camera for me! It's a blue sony cybershot, with 14 megapixels, which is double what i had before! 

Feb 7-{family} I love my family, i love how we can be laughing until we cry at least once a week. These pictures were taken at christmas. The superbowl was today, went over to dad's for dinner at watched the end of the game, it was Indiana and New Orleans, and new Orleans won! I also worked today, and boy was the day long! it's never busy anymore so my day mostly consists of reading a book! Can't complain though right?
