Childhood Dreams

It’s the ambition of many children to be like their favorite superhero, Wonder Woman, Superman, or maybe even Sponge Bob. My childhood dreams were simple, but probably unlike those of the stereotypical kid. I dreamed of becoming a sister, a role model, and a teacher. I was an only child for eight happy years, and I absolutely dreaded being alone. There was usually someone always by my side to keep me company. I wanted so bad to have a little brother or sister that could tag-along. After waiting eight years, I finally got my little sister, and I was so happy to not be as “alone” as I thought I was before. (And no regrets, but I actually do kind of miss the attention!) Being an older sister is a big responsibility. I had and still have many people in my life that I look up to. As I got older, and realized the impact that those role models had on my life, I decided that I want to live my life as a role model, for my sister, my little cousins, anyone that I am able to be there for like those that were there for me. Many of the decisions I make in everyday life are based on that idea that someone is looking up to me. When I think about people viewing me as a role model, it makes me want to better myself so that I am able to live up to those expectations of having an impact on someone’s life. And some of the people that have had the biggest impact in my life are teachers. As far back as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be an elementary teacher. I admire the influence that teachers can have on so many lives of the kids they teach, being a teacher ties in with being a role model. As I got older, I realized there are many more job opportunities available, and I’ve decided to start off at a different job that might pay more and would be fun for a younger girl. But, I still have every intention of one day being able to teach.

Rae for prez!

Well, i wasn't gonna say anything, but now that the big news is out, here's the video.

Cabin Fever

Last thursday, Claire, Leslie, Dayna, Alyssa and I had a girl's night out sleepover at the cabin. We stayed out there by ourselves, it was so much fun! We ordered a pizza and bought lots of junk food, took them out to the cabin and we went out on the paddle boat, we sat on the porch and shared secrets and prank called :]. We spent like, two hours playing catch phrase music edition, which reminded us of so many old songs we used to love. We ended it with a movie, and actually went to sleep pretty early for a sleepover, around 2 or 3ish. We also had an unfortunate event with the toilet, so i thought I'd share this video with you, this is us trying to unclog the toilet.... Note: it was like 9:00 am (thats EARLY for us considering we went to sleep so late)
enjoy!! :]

"we are real valley girls"


**update** Kelli, emma just told me that you used a stick that looked just like that as a walking stick the other day. And if you found that "walking stick" underneath the porch, than I hate to tell ya, but that's definatley the pee stick. HAHA!
