One Kiss

"I've liked my best friend for a while. Hey, he likes me too. After tons of confusion and second guessing, all it took was that one kiss and now we're together, I couldn't be happier. That kiss LMS :) "

Never Forgotten

" Today is the last day for our science/forensic teacher who decided to go back to school to learn, meaning he won't come back next year. No one wanted him to leave, but he had to. Our freshmen class created this little video dedicated to him where everyone shared their personal memory with him. Making that video, and seeing how touched he was by it left me sad, but at the same time it left me smiling. After watching the video he told us how much it meant to him, and how he’ll never forget this family feeling he feels among teachers and students at our school. I honestly think he’s one of the best/coolest teachers I have ever had, and I’m going to miss him a lot. Although he won't be here next year, he’ll always be there in our hearts. Remembering the past 2 years, and all the little memories he holds with his students, it’s something that’s always there for me to look back at as it LMS. (: "

Late Night Love

" I have arachnophobia [fear of spiders], like seriously. One night, I was arguing to my guy (we were having some issues) as I was walking up the stairs when I became LITERALLY face to face with this huge spider. I swear it was the size of my hand. I screamed and started panicking. I started screaming for my parents and siblings, but everyone was knocked out, so I was alone. My guy heard me freaking out on the phone, so he drove at one in the morning to my house just to kill it and then go home. After that moment, I couldn't be mad at him anymore. He LMS. (: "

Two Minutes Of Your Time

"Last week I got a call from my boyfriend who has been deployed for 3 months on a submarine. Before, I got an email every once in a while, but I had been hoping to hear his voice eventually. I didn't recognize his voice until he said, 'Hey Babe!' He only had two minutes to talk, but those two minutes were spent saying 'I miss you!' Those two minutes LMS. (: "

Surprise Thank Yous


" Today, we had a surprise for Mrs. Breeze, our school's counselor and club advisor. We did it because she deserves so much after all she's done for us and never once complains. The whole club organized the surprise. The smile on her face, the smile on the club members' faces and how we all came together to make a person we love feel special LMS (: "

" Today after 1st period, I had really fun surprising Mrs. Breeze during advisory. The kindness and thoughtfulness of it all LMS. (: "

Coldstones



" Today was a great day. It was a half day of school, and knowing there’s only one more day left got me extremely excited! Then, this guy that I’m talking to bought me Coldstones ice cream and let me drove his car! He knows I’m a pro (: He was so sweet when we were shopping. He asked if I wanted anything, and in the end he took me home. The best part was when I got Coldstones, I haven’t had it in forever! Getting Coldstones LMS (: "

Warm Sweater, Warm Feeling


" I went camping over the weekend with my youth group. I left Saturday morning to go to my last VSA get together BBQ which wasn't too far from the campsite, thank goodness. My 'special friend' went with me, and while I was with him, I kept complaining about how cold it was the night before. While I was back at the campsite, he was on his way to Seattle. When he almost got there, he realized that I forgot his sweater in the backseat. So he turned around, went home to grab a warmer jacket, and drove all the way back to the campsite and surprised me. Seeing him outside the campsite just to give me a sweater and a blanket after driving all that way LMS (: "
