Sweet Sixteen

Word of the Day: Phantasm - 1. an illusory mental image. 2. objective reality as perceived and distorted by the five senses according to Platonic philosophy.

Hello there! It has been over a month now since I've posted, and I'm finally taking initiative to begin writing again. So much has happened over the past month that I don't know where to begin!

Coming back from Rhode Island was bittersweet; it's nice be to be back in California, but I wish that I could have brought my family and friends back east out here with me. I'm going to miss them so much!

I still have not been to the beach yet, which I expected would be the highlight of my summer, and now summer is almost over. I've been hoping and praying that my parents would find some time and take us, but that opportunity hasn't yet presented itself :///

The majority of my summer has mainly been based here at home or in the area. A normal day consists of hanging out with my friend samm who lives down the street from me. I've know her since 7th grade, and she was the very first friend I had out here. We've been best friends ever since. I've had tons of sleepover's with her and every one of them has been great!

To make things easier, I included a list of everything I've done so far this summer. There are too many things to talk about, I could go on forever!

• Been to the movies


• Samm and I started our own jewelry line (attack! jewelry)


• Had tons of sleepover's with samm

.....and so much more!

My 16th birthday party was absolutley amazing! I couldn't have pulled it together had it not been for my family and lovely mother. I bet you've already read about the party from my mom's blog Heart 2 Heart, so I won't go into details!

My actual birthday is tomorrow, July 24th! I have no idea what I'm doing tomorrow, I've received no information at all on any plans that might be taking place, so I guess tomorrow will be a "go with the flow" kind of day:)

Well, I just wanted to give you all an update on my summer so far and give a shout out, because I know I haven't blogged in a while:) Hope you all are having an amazing summer and staying out of this dreadful heat!

Yours Truly,
