Life

These past few weeks that I haven't posted because my computer was down and I had no easy access to internet.

Unfortunately you missed my birthday and I didn't get to write a post for it.

My birthday was of course, boring. I didn't hang out with friends, I didn't get presents, I wasn't bombarded with hugs and kisses. None of that. Instead we went to the a Chinese buffet a week before.

I didn't feel special or anything like that, just another day.

However now I am 16 years old. Yes, 1-6. 

Crazy right? I started this blog in 8th grade, I'm in the 10th grade now and I am SIXTEEN!

It's nice, I can legally drive now (once I actually get my license).

Last week we had a guest speaker in Health class that spoke to us about sex, STD's, and why abstinence is the best choice to stay protected.

I finally felt comfortable talking about it. The guest speaker was a woman who actually waited until marriage to have sex. Her son is also abstinent and is currently engaged (he's still waiting by the way).

So often people rush into sex that I forget that there are people who actually do wait.

I mostly wanted to wait for religious and personal reasons but now I plan to wait because those statistics for STD's sound really scary and I want to avoid that as much as possible.

Not to mention that I will most likely get emotionally attached to whoever I have sex with and I would rather not be single after that happens.

Sabrina and I are fine by the way. I really do feel that I'm part to blame for the weirdness between us. I get really shy when we sit down at lunch next to Derek but then it's way better when he isn't around and now I don't feel like she totally hates me. I have been acting awkward and quiet and it makes sense that she wouldn't know what to say to me.

School has been great too. I got a 95 on my chemistry test and I brought my 77 to an 84 in geometry so all is good. I'm starting to understand chem a lot more and I'm learning better study skills for all my classes.


I never ended up going to conditioning either. Sabrina is sick and I didn't want to go alone so I'm going to wait until she feels better so we can be there together.


This year is going to be a long one but I'm going to make sure it's a good one.

Urban Original Goodies

I finally recieved my Urban Original shoe order in the mail. I got them on September 23, aka my birthday. It was perfect. I came off the bus, walked into my house and there was the package!

Bamboo Shoes

These are the first pair I unwrapped. These are also my favorite! They are amazing quality, so comfortable and true to size. I was afraid of the rhinestones coming off, but they wont. As I said before, these have great quality.

Pink Duchess Shoes

Next I unwrapped these ballet flats. These aren't the best quality, they are slippery on carpet. But other than that, I love them! The ruffles at the top are so adorable. They are extremely comfortable, almost like they aren't even on! Plus, they are true to size.

Pink Duchess Shoes

 The last pair of shoes I bought are these. I love the pleats at the top, I love the shimmery, gold color. I love everything about these! They can be dressed up or down, it doesn't matter. They are still so cute! Great quality, true to size, comfortable. What's not to love?

My Birthday!

 My birthday went great! It was yesterday and 32 people posted on my Facebook wall telling me happy birthday and how much they loved me. I felt great! Presents? Shoes, money, love.

Every year, I get so excited about my birthday. God has blessed me enough to live another incredible year. With great opportunities (Wisconsin trip), amazing loved ones, and another school year to help me succeed in life. I sometimes take things for granted. But I know how blessed I truly am. I'm so glad to be one year older.
364 days until my next birthday!

Shoe Haul

As promised, I will be hauling all my birthday shoes that I purchase. I haven't received my Urban Original order yet, so in the meantime I went shopping.

The first pair of shoes I purchased are these Seychelles "Glimmering Gold" Bow Flats. They are adorable! These fit perfectly and go with everything. I couldn't find a good picture of them but they are much cuter in person. And I got them for only $14 at Ross!

Next I got these classic "Y not" Oxford Flats. These are great! They look so classy but still cute. They're super comfortable too. I love that it laces in the front, it keeps the shoe from looking boring. I bought these for $18 at Shoe Carnival.

I should be getting my Urban Original package by Sept. 23, the day of my birthday. I'll make sure to post about it for you all.

Anger, Sadness, Disappointment, Frustration...

Have you ever been so frustrated you just cry?
Well I was like that last night, and the night before. A little while ago, I did a post about all the gorgeous shoes I wanted for my birthday.
Friday night, my mom comes home and I ask her if she's ready to order the shoes. She says "I wont be able to, I have to pay your brothers cell phone and the mortgage"
Now, I understand that she has to pay bills, but first, she shouldn't be paying my brothers cell phone bill. He's 18, he needs to get a job and pay his own bill. And second, she shouldn't make promises that she cant keep.
I got so upset, I ate dinner alone, and I went to bed without telling anyone "goodnight". The next morning (yesterday morning) I didn't talk to her at all and when she left for work, I didn't say "I love you, bye!"

I may be overreacting but I hate when she promises me something, and never does it. Almost like she doesn't care about me. And now, I cant buy my birthday gift, while its on sale! FML.

Urban Original

Urban Original, urbanog.com, is my new favorite place to shop online for shoes. My birthday is coming up in 24 days so my mom has promised she will get me some shoes this weekend. I have five pairs already in mind. The reason I am ordering them so early is so that they don't get sold out, and because I want to wear them to school on my birthday.


The first shoes I'm getting are these Cut Out Thong Sandals from Orleans 09. I love them because the little heel makes my legs a little longer. I'm only 5'3, so this little heel helps. The best thing about them? They're only $9.20!
These are one of my favorites! I love the criss-cross ruffle at the top and I love the leather texture. The pointy toe makes them even cuter. I can't wait to wear them!
Next, these gold flats are adorable. It has small pleats on the top and a cute pointed toe. Just by looking at them, I can tell they are super comfortable. I hope I'm right!
I love these oxford shoes! They are such a classic style. But here, we have a modern version of it. These are pointed toes as well. From what I hear, these go with everything! So I can't wait to wear them.
These rhinestone flats are another of my favorites. The bow is so cute and innocent and I love pleats. The rhinestones add an extra touch of cute. I wanted them in pink but they were sold out in my size, so instead, I settled for these gray ones. Which are still very cute!

I'm so excited to get all these shoes! I want to do a review on the shoe quality and website. You can only order on-line, but the return policy is great for me! Click on the pictures if you want to go to the direct link of each shoe.
