Vacation: Part 1

On July 10 - 22 I was on vacation with my best friend, Samantha, and her family. All of these pictures were taken in Ohio, except for the first. We drove to Joplin, Missouri the first night for her cousin's wedding.



We drove 14 hours the next day to Cincinnati, and went to the King's Island Amusement Park. I, sadly, didn't get any pictures there. We drove to Sandusky the next day, and spent 3 days there at Cedar Point Amusement Park. Easily the BEST park I've ever been to. It was very, very hot. Over 100 degrees every day, but it was still a blast. Some of the rides were right on the beach of Lake Erie.


Top Thrill Dragster: Front Row!



Millenium Force. My favorite. (also front row!)



Top Thrill: 420 feet, 120 mph. Such a crazy, amazing ride.


Millenium Force from afar. 320 foot drop!


Our hotel that we stayed in while we were in Sandusky. Right next to the railroad tracks. Try sleeping through that at 2 AM!

Church Camp

On the week of June 22nd I went to Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas for Super Summer Church Camp. It was a blast! Regina and Jacqueline were the best roomies and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The dorm room we stayed in.





Yes, their legs are painted orange! (our team color for the week)


My group of girls :)


Our leader, Momma J. :D

Whoa!

This blog is more of a reminder for myself of all the things I need to catch up on. I can't believe I haven't posted since June! My summer was just so busy. I definitely need to put up church camp pictures, Ohio/Pennsylvania pics, and the beginning of this school year. I will get on that hopefully this weekend!

Love y'all :)

Karis's new hair!

Karis decided it was time for a haircut. But we didn't know it was an actual "haircut!" She cut off 7 inches! She looks adorable.

BEFORE


AFTER!

Yellow isn't a good color for me

I mentioned a little while back that I got a yellow scrape on my car from one of the posts at QT. Well here's the sad proof...



Luckily, it's gone now. But I had in on there for about two weeks and driving up to school every day was a little embarrassing. Oh well, I'm sure it was inevitable!

NHS Zoo Trip

Our National Honor Society group took a trip to the zoo right before school got out. It was a great day and I had tons of fun with my friends. :)

The past few months in pictures...

I suppose it's time for an update :)

Well, not much has happened here lately. School is almost over; only 6 more days!! Hopefully my chemistry final isn't too difficult. That's the only one I'm worried about. Then it's HELLO SUMMER! I cannot wait.

I got my first little dinger on my car about 3 weeks ago. I was pulling up to a QT to get gas and got just a wee bit too close to one of the yellow posts. It didn't dent the car or anything, just got a nice pretty yellow paint scrape on my front right bumper. Luckily, I have a magic man for a grandfather and he got some wax and wiped it off. They use super cheap paint on those things so it came off easily. Yay!!!

I recently watched this movie for the first time and LOVED it:


And Chase has got me addicted to all the music and the movie from this:


SO I think that's all for now! I can almost taste summer break!

I'm a MAC! In two ways, I guess...

Welp, we got a new computer. It's a MAC! This thing takes a little getting used to. I have a bunch of pics to post but they'll have to wait until after church. Love y'all! :)

I'm not neglecting!

So sorry I haven't posted a blog in a while. Our computer screen broke about a week ago and there's no tellin when we'll get a new one. (I'm posting this blog from my phone.) So unfortunately, I can't post any pictures for a while. :(

BUT I will be turning sixteen in 3 short days!!! I'm so excited. My mom made the appointment yesterday: 8:15 AM on Monday morning I'm heading to the DMV to take my license test!!! I cannot wait.

Spring Break began today (Friday) for us because of parent-teacher conferences. Ryan has a baseball tournament this week starting on Monday so we'll be heading to the ball fields all week. Hopefully their games on Monday won't last too long :)

I don't think I mentioned this, but a couple of weeks ago I was voted Best All-Around for the sophomore class! I guess this is my year? Hah, anyway, I was very honored. :)

I can't believe it's already spring break! Where did February and January go?!

I'll post again as soon as I can.
With Love,
Cayley

Sophomore Formal!

This day seemed like it lasted 1846385 hours, not 24! I had bought my dress in the middle of January, and the jewelry. I bought my shoes the night before (thank God that DSW had some cute heels!). I went to Joanie's and got my hair done at 2 PM. It turned out wonderful! And it only took an hour and a half! My mom did my makeup and my nails. My best friend (Samantha), her boyfriend & my really good friend (Luke), and I went to my boyfriend's house (Chase) to eat and hang out beforehand. And we watched The Lion King. An almost-17-year-old, 16-year-old, and two 15-year-olds really know quality movies. ;) Chase's mom took the pictures.







If you couldn't tell, I got bangs that day as well. I really like them!

Also, I was "crowned" as North Intermediate's queen for the sophomore class. :) I got a tiara and everything! (I will post that pic as soon as my mom uploads the pictures from her camera.) My friend Matt won king, and it was really great. The whole night was simply spectacular! :)

No school? Movie time!

School was cancelled yesterday because of yet another ice storm that has blown through, so Jana, Megan, Liana, and I trekked to the movie theater and saw When in Rome. It was super cute, I recommend it. :)

Liana, me, Megan, and Jana


We can't wait to see Dear John!!!


Toy machine!

Too "cool" for school!

Like the title? I thought it was PUNNY! Bahaha. Well, at the beginning of the week we heard that the lows for Thursday and Friday were in the negatives, as in -2 degrees! Crazy, right? So when Thursday night comes the phone rings, and it's SchoolCast saying there is no school on Thursday and Friday due to extreme freezing temperatures. Awesome!!! So I'm here on the laptop at home posting this blog while a million other kids are in school right now. Jealous?

The Big 1-4!

Happy 14th birthday to my favorite little brother in the whole wide world! :)
