be thankful.

happy fast sunday, i hope you all fasted like how i did! {i'm starving..} i love food, period... and could sit on the couch all day eating. it's bad i tell you, a bad habit of mine that i do.
any who... today i am very grateful of what i have in life. today, as i was fasting for a friend of mine, it made me very grateful of what i do have. my friend's dad is dying this month from pancreas cancer, and it made me wonder what if my dad had it.

i am thankful for.
> making crazy faces. i simply love taking pictures of my friends and i {or just me}. it makes me smile every time i see those insane faces. and sometimes i didn't know i could look so ugly with the faces i would make!
> modesty. there are a lot of girls {and guys}, that walk around showing off stuff that shouldn't be shown. i am grateful that the lord has given us this commandment to make us pure.
> naps. i love naps and i could sleep all day if i could.
> TLC say yes to the dress. it makes me excited to get married in the temple with my best friend!
> clothing. well i love clothes, because i don't have to walk around naked 24/7. that would not be a pretty sight...
> family. family is the BEST, and they will never leave your side. they help you out whenever and will always give you a hug when you need one.
> chocolate. who doesn't love chocolate? it's delicious! for those who don't well i can tell you, you are missing out!
> cameras. to capture the little moments in life.
> social media. social media is the best, i would probably die without it! if i didn't have it then i wouldn't have this fabulous blog of mine.
> boys. boys are fabulous, and make me happy. :)
> trials. this is a touchy subject for me, and it makes me a little bit uncomfortable when people talk about trials. but i am grateful for trials, they have been a huge blessing in my life. instead of me being sad about the trial i had... i rejoice, because without that trial i would be a messed up person.
> school. it gives me knowledge and the education i need.
> friends. i love my friends, they make me so happy. i love roasting smores with them, movie nights, parties, and staying up all night long with them.
> scriptures. they give me great advice, and i have received answers to prayers by reading them! the lord does listen to me, even when i ask for a simple stupid question.
> life. life is very special and even the next life.
> music. music sends powerful messages to everyone including me. music can be used in so many ways. i love music, especially when it's from hunter hayes... oh i love him.
> heavenly father. it's nice to know i can kneel down to pray morning and night and talk to him. tell him about my trials to the triumphs, boys, and my problems! i find it amazing.

have a great rest of the day, make sure to keep the spirit with you.

just keep swimming.

> utah lake, probably the most disgusting lake in the whole entire universe. but boating and tubing on that lake... makes it worth swimming in that fishy gross water.

> boating and tubing is my favorite part of summer. even though you might die while doing it, it's totally worth the bruises and burns. flying around in the air and having your swim bottoms almost fall off because of it, it's fabulous! it was a great day swimming and almost dying with my beautiful sisters of mine. 

i believe.

i believe with no make up on makes you- YOU.

i believe in love at first sight

i believe in sleeping in
i believe that you & i are beautiful {or handsome}

i believe that sundays are always the best day of the week
i believe in taking lots of pictures

i believe that boys have no brain in their head

i believe that family is the best thing you've got
i believe that white roses beat red roses

i believe that life is beautiful.
//what about you?

Lagoon Day.

Today was Lagoon Day- and it was so much fun. I love Lagoon, not as much as Disneyland- but this is the best place here in Utah. -well for me. 

This morning i woke up with confusion and some tears {duh i'm a teenager} i solved every problem, and i resumed getting ready. I headed out the door to my school and saw 6 charter buses. Guys- last year they only used two charter buses... so many ninth graders this year that they had 6. My charter bus was freakin awesome. it was a double decker, and it was the coolest thing in the planet. chatted with my best friends, and caught up in all their love lives. guys i have missed them so much, and spending the day with all my favorite people was the BEST. 

40 minutes later we arrived at our destination, i was so excited i was jumping up and down in my seat. we got our CHEAP tickets and headed off for some fun. we started off with kiddy rides {the best rides} and had the best time. as we were walking around i see my cousin, and a bunch of other kids i went to mountainville with. i screamed and hugged all of those people, and we were so excited to see eachother. last time we saw each other was FOUR YEARS AGO. it's so funny seeing them now, they all have changed SO MUCH- WOW. it was the best thing in the whole world reuniting with my old best friends from forever ago. 

We went on spiny rides that make you go upside down like crazy... and i think i'm turning into my mom. every time i went on something that went upside down INCLUDING roller coasters i was about to vomit. it makes me so sad because i love roller coasters. so i bought myself motion sickness pills... man lagoon has everything at their little "store."

I hung out with these cute girlies the whole entire day- and boy it was a blast. we almost died a couple of times, but that's alright. :) 

The whether was absolutely beautiful. i was worried that it was going to rain- but it didn't. :) we went on the sky lifters, and i rode with Ammon on the way to the other side of lagoon. it was nice talking to each other, and catching up on each others lives. laughed a ton, and told each other recent funny stories. it was fantastic. just like old times but... like a new mature ammon and sienna. 

look how cute we are. :) this was ammon's first time at lagoon AND first time on roller coasters or anything crazy like this. he loved everything- except the rocket.... boy he is scared of heights. but he is a trooper because he went on it. my first time i was FORCED to go on it. - and i ended up loving it:) 

{for those who are wondering what happened... well you ain't gonna know that. but i will tell you that we still like//love each other like we used too. so it's all good:) just maturing here people!}

we ate subway for lunch- and it was yummy... but man the prices were ridiculous. $10 for a foot long... are you kidding me?! wow- but the $5 six inch sub was worth it. we headed off to raddle snake rapids and i got soaked... oh my gosh- megan just decides to push me under the water fall... {thanks meg love you!} wicked was oh so fun and also the samurai. :) we went to a couple more rides and headed off to the bus. 

i screamed so loud my throat is so sore... oh it hurts so much. we got on our wicked bus and headed home:( i was exhausted from that day and i slept like a baby on the bus. well actually everyone did. except these loud boys talking about fat people... jerks. 

it was a fantastic day and i just wanted to be there for a little bit longer. best day ever.

tomorrow is the last day of school... i can't believe it. there will be a lot of hugs, tears, and good byes to some people. i love all of those people with my heart. but it will be alright.
