The big 1-8!!!!!!!

So, last week was my birthday. Yes, I turned 18. Wow, I'm getting old. Anyways, on my actual birthday, I went to school like usual, came home, and drove ALL over the place, and eventually come home. We did presents, and that was about it. Mom wasn't feeling very good, so we didn't go out to dinner. For my birthday, I got a brand new camera, a new shirt, a skirt, and some really cute shoes that I can't wait to wear to church.

As for my party, I finally figured out what I was going to do. I had 4 friends and we went to a nearby hotel and stayed Friday night there. We got there around 4-ish, and immediately went swimming. We then went back to our room, got all dried off and changed, and watched a movie while eating pizza and drinking pop. Then, we did presents, and popped in the movie that I got as a present (The Proposal) and ate cake. At this point in time, it's around 10:30. We attempted another movie, but I fell asleep, and two of my friends fell asleep, so my one little lonely friend left just turned it off and went asleep, (and yes, that is three friends. Don't worry, you can still count. One of my friends left early). The next morning, we got up, ate breakfast, and two of my friends and I went to wonder the mall. All-in-all, it was a great party!

Friday night. Yes, that is Maddie's head on the foot of the bed,

I just don't get it....

I'm telling ya, sometimes I just don't get it. Why must people swear?!?! It really doesn't make you look smarter, and it definitely doesn't make you seem more attractive. And you know what upsets me even more? Is when I ask someone to stop swearing, and they give me an attitude. I mean, obviously I have a reason as to why I asked them to stop. It's against my religion to swear, I don't like to hear it (and I shouldn't have to be subjected to listening to that stuff all day at SCHOOL), it just degrades on my ears, etc. I just don't appreciate it when they swear around me. Now usually, when I ask someone to stop swearing, and then I tell them why, they respect me and they stop. But you know, it's all about that: respect. There's even a song about that. Anyways, getting off track. But you know what's worse then the swearer themself have an attitude? When a girl sitting near by gives you an attitude as well, saying something about how it's "their life, then can do whatever they want to". Well, all I asked for was to just stop around me.

You know what else just baffles my mind? Teen pregnancy. I swear, at least once a week I hear of at least one other girl that either is pregnant, or already has a baby. In high school. Ya, I'm not kidding. But you know, there's always been at least one or two here or there in every high school every year since pretty much the beginning of time. But you know, it's just gotten worse. It's almost like a sport. Which, by the way is just plain ol' sad. I mean, can't you just wait until you're married and do "it" properly, sacredly, meant for when it's suppose to be meant for, and when you're READY?? Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Then, these girls are allowed to just waltz around school, practically "promoting" their mistake. Seriously?? Take them else-where. It's just wrong.

Also, people these days just get me. Seriously. You never know when a story is true or false. What happened to good ol' honesty?? Is that just so hard to ask for? Just do what everybody else on this planet does, and be HONEST!! It's just sad to what our world has come to now-a-days, laying over everything. Who knows if it's for real. So, therefore it's pretty hard to donate any money to any cause, for fear that it's all a hoax and all that money will go to drugs, or something else, not that cause. Again, just plain sad.

I just don't get it...

I need your help!!!

So, tonight is Light the Night. Light the Night is where we all go down Rushton Way and walk to promote cancer research. We all have balloons that light up, and we literally light the night. Ahead of time, we all go out and raise money. ALL of the money goes toward cancer research. Here's where you come in. I need as much money as i can possibly muster. I STRONGLEY believe in cancer research, since so many people close to me, including me, have either had cancer, or has passed away because of cancer. WE NEED A CURE!!!!! None of this would happen if we had a cure. Please help, it is very much appreciated. Just go here, and you can donate as much or as little as you want:

So, about a week or two ago, I again had Aleecya. Since it was a nice day, I took Aleecya to a new park down the road from me. I had fun reliving my park days, and Aleecya had fun running around. Here, I'm just going to post some new pictures of Aleecya, some of the park, some from the house, and random places. Enjoy!!
