Photo Friday and some Blanks!

Happy Friday, everyone!

I know I sure am glad it's finally Friday.

Today, I'm going to fill in some blanks from Lauren's blog. You can link up there. :)

1. The phrase or punctuation I overuse the most is probably ellipses... my friend got me hooked on them about a year ago. As far as a phrase though... I say a lot of things like, "you gotta do what you gotta do," and/or "stuff happens. We get through it". I'm trying to become more and more go-with-the-flowish. Why stress, folks.

2. Today I am thankful for having someone I can complain to, even though we aren't THAT close and some people might even surprised that we're somewhat-friends. I'm telling you, after a stressful week filled with drama, it's good to have that person that will bring you back down to earth.

3. My best friend is you know, I don't think I really have one. I don't have that ONE person that I tell everything to. My school isn't that big, and the friends that I do have just don't get me. Know what I mean? It's sad, yeah, but heck. You get through it. I know it won't last. I mean, just because I don't have a BEST friend doesn't mean I don't have friends in general. Those, I do have.

4. A quirky thing about me is I don't like to talk after school, and in the morning. I just need time to destress before I can talk to people (my parents) without biting their heads off and spitting them out. Ha...maybe it's a teenager thing.

5. This weekend I have no plans, other than youth group on Sunday. Gosh...i need to get a life!

6. Something that worries me is always being single. I know I've blogged about that before, and it's just something silly that I think about sometimes. I want to be married pretty bad (why? I have no clue) and the thought of being alone forever scares me quite a lot. Oh, and I also am a pretty bad hypochondriac.

7. On my night stand you would find water bottles, my iPod usually, a lamp, a magazine bowl I made at camp with price tags from clothing in it (weird. haha, that can be my quirky thing!), and some other random junk.

And now, my Photo Friday finds. :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend. What are you guys' plans?

Being 16, I'm sorta poor.

I have today and Monday off of school for mid-winter break. :)

(Although... it's more 'beginning-of-spring break, considering it's almost 50 degrees outside, and all the snow's melted. Anyway.)

I got to looking to some clothes online, like I do a lot of the time. I keep finding all of these things that I want, but just do not have the money for.

I'm going to need to get some new clothes for spring, and I'm looking for other places to buy things cheaper.

So, I'm going to show some comparisons of things that are too pricey, versus things that are definitely in my budget.

American Eagle Sandals:

$29.50

F21 Sandals:

$13.80

American Eagle Bermuda Shorts:

$39.50

F21 Bermuda Shorts:

$19.80

Abercrombie and Fitch Tank:

$48

Charlotte Russe Tank:

$26.50

(I don't love how they show the model wearing it, but I think it would be cute with some distressed shorts and metallic sandals.)

Hollister Dress:

$49.50

Old Navy Dress:

$34.50

(I'm in looove with this dress.)

So, what do you think? Think I could pull off some summer looks for cheap?

Also, where do you go to get clothes for a bargain? I need some more ideas. ;)

Also, here are my Photo Friday finds:

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!

Happy Birthday, to me!

It's my sweet sixteenth today!

Yay!

Yesterday, my brother in law posted this video on Twitter.

It's short, watch it!

My bro-in-law is the tour manager for the band Hawk Nelson. Have you heard of them? They're great!

Anyway, I've met the entire band 2 or 3 times, but I've met their guitarist, Jon, over 5 times. I love these guys, they are simply the best.

Today itself was really good.
Nothing special really happened until about 3rd block, when we ate ice cream and brownies. Yum.

After school my mom, dad, and I all went to Texas Roadhouse for my birthday dinner. (I didn't want my picture taken, but...)

Here we are. Did I mention I got contacts yesterday?!

I'm a complete new person since even a month ago!

Ears pierced, new haircut, braces off, and contacts. :)

(Off topic. Sorry.)

When I had gotten home from school I spotted a large box sitting outside.
It was flowers from the same brother-in-law I talked about earlier, and my sister. :) How sweet! I was so happy.

It's a dozen different-colored roses. They're gorgeous.

Then, my sister emailed me this video.

(Seriously, if you didn't watch the last video, at least watch this one.)

So, yes! They are taking me to the Revolve Tour in March! I am so excited. :) They are seriously the best. Hawk Nelson will be there too, so I'll get to meet them again.

My birthday this year was a total success. :)

And now, time for the very first ever...

Photo Friday!

Here are my finds for this week:

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
