I'm not a perfect girl. My hair doesn't always stay in place and I spill things a lot. I'm pretty clumsy and sometimes i have a broken heart. My friends and I sometimes fight and maybe some days nothing goes right. But when i think about it and take a step back, I remember how amazing life truly is and that maybe, just maybe, I like being unperfect <3

California Vacations are the best!










As im sitting at home thinking about all the things i need to get done, i decided to not do any of them (its not a proud moment for me) and look up old pictures and videos instead.

As I did, I came across these random videos from my trip to Disneyland with CJ Everts. This trip will definitely always remain in my memory..haha

We had a few set backs (cough cough...major tire blow out) which led to...

walking a mile to get to a phone that had service on the free way (you know those random ones they have like every mile in case something like this happens haha),

flagging down random passer-bys on the free way to help us get the tire fixed,

and then me remembering i have triple A and calling them shortly. (woops!!)

Some nice Christians stopped and helped us change the tire, and offered us water (god bless!!!) haha. (Oh if you are wondering why we didnt just change it ourselves...we forgot to bring any tools...strike 2! or is this 3? I lost track at this point) haha

After waiting around for about 2 hours to get the problem solved, we hopped back into the car (we didnt actually hop, but i will say we kept pretty good spirits up despite the situation we were now in haha) and headed to America's Tires!

Once there we had to wait a while to get a new tire put on (we were driving the spare to America's Tires, hoping we'd make it) Once the tire was put on we were back on track ready to see Cali for the FIRST TIME! (okay aside from the fact that CJ grew up there and I'd been there like 10 times haha we're trying to make this trip epic okay?! haha)

Cali was a blast! Cj was a great host! At about 6am the next day after staying up way too late i awoke to Cj creaking my door open slightly to see if i was awake. when i responded with "good morning Cj what are you doing its 6am..." He responded with "Yay you are awake!!! Lets go to Disneyland! I've been waiting all morning for you to wake up!!" If theres anything people know about me, I'm definitely anything BUT a morning person, but seeing that excited face say those words I couldn't help but smile and roll out of bed. haha

Disneyland/Cali Adventures was AMAZING!! I'm pretty sure we went on every single ride at both parks! SO MUCH FUN! (Minus Tower of Terror--which you see in one of the pictures posted...i despise that ride...but i went on it anyway and Cj found it hysterical haha) by about 11pm though i was pretty much unconscious with exhaustion. Cj wanted to stay until midnight. I didnt have the heart to tell him that i may just pass out on the next ride. haha We agreed the last ride (if its even a ride) we'd go on was the Tiki Room. All i remember is waking up every couple minutes and saying i liked one of the birds when Cj would ask me if i liked it. He thought it was pretty funny..

Overall the trip was so fun! got to go to the temple (always been a dream of mine!) and lay on the beach at night (another dream of mine!) Also ate at Chipotle for the first time! (YUM YUM)

We had no setbacks on the drive home and had an awesome time!! So lucky i got to go!
