End of school and Graduation!

Graduation finally came! High school is now done forever and I'm soon to be a BYU cougar. :) So many things happened around that time, that this post is just bursting with pictures!

The day after I got back from Guatemala there was a huge party hosted by my two friends Jen and Katherine. Lots of people went...
This was basically everyone at the party. Like I said...HUGE!
And then came the last two days of high school! It was fun because we did absolutely nothing in all our classes. AP Calc was fun....



Just a cool picture I took of my graduation cap and tassel. haha

My group in AP Calc Lab! Basically some of the funnest girls I could have been in a group with.

Courtney, Laura, and I at our last lunch together! We ate here for THREE years!
Fun times in yearbook. I will miss these girls. :(
Roasting hot dogs at Leesa's fire pit and then having a refreshing time in Ashley's hot tub.
Going to the drive in to see Up! and Hannah Montana the movie!
And then the day arrived....GRADUATION!!!!! I'm so happy I'm done and still very sad at the same time. It was very long, but a pretty good "ceremony" or whatever you would call it. I was sitting by Lindsay who is in my ward and a great friend, so that was pretty fun! We took a picture while we were waiting.

Me and my parents afterwards! I love them so much and am going to miss them dearly when I go to college! :(
Me and my best friend ever Laura! We've been friends since ninth grade and have had so many fun times together. Sadly, she is going to Dixie College and I'm going to BYU, but we'll for sure keep in touch!Me and all my grandparents. It was so great and supportive to have them at my graduation!

Eating dinner at Olive Garden, my favorite restaurant. The food was sooooooooooooo good! I want to go again! This was the adult side.......and here are the kids. I was in the middle...not really sure if I'm an adult or still a kid. :P

Me and my best friends right before the all-night partay! Love them. :D

Watching the hypnotist show with Jen and Laura.
This was part of the hypnotist show. It was by far the funniest thing I've ever seen!
All night party. We had way too much fun!
Driving home at five in the morning! We were pretty tired... :D

Guatemala: Saying Goodbye :(

It was so sad to wake up on Wednesday and realize that we were leaving that day. Guatemala was absolutely beautiful and a trip I'll never ever forget. I would love to go again soon! On our last day we ate breakfast for our last time :( and we got to see the school that my mom and uncle, Derick, went to! It was pretty cool. There were a lot of students walking around when we went ha.




Other stuff I never mentioned...We went to Chepe's (my great uncle) house EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! We stayed there for at least two hours it seemed too. And it got a little boring for me because I couldn't understand everything they were saying. See my grandpa's face? That is the perfect description of how he felt about going there every day. haha It was good to see family, though.


Tortrix are my new favorite chips! They were kind of like fritos, but way better! We brought a few home with us, but I wish they were sold in the U.S.


During our long drives to places, Alex and I needed something to do....so every day when Alex pulled out a new piece of gum, we'd take the sticky part off the wrapper and stick it on the headrest. We finished all the way, and on the last day, somebody pushed down the chair and ruined it all. Sad day. The funny thing is that the adults never even noticed!


Tigo, tigo, TIGO!!!! Tigo is just a cell phone company in Guatemala, but I'm pretty sure they're gonna take over the world someday. Everywhere you turned there would be a blue tigo sign painted on a wall or posters all over a store. I have no idea why, but it seemed like Guatemalans worshipped it! jk...

When we arrived in Fort Lauderdale, we had to wait almost a whole day for our next flight back home, so my uncle Jefre (my dad's brother), who lives in Miami, was nice enough to come pick us up and let us stay at his house for the night. It was great! We even went to Miami South Beach that night which was way fun.

And the next day, we got home! It felt great to be able to sleep in my own bed, although it was only for a few hours. We got in at like two in the morning, and I had school the next day at 7:30. I was tired, but it was good to see my friends again! Guatemala was the best trip ever and I loved it so much! I had memories that will last for a lifetime... :D

Guatemala: Chiquimula

Chiquimula is where my grandpa grew up when he was young. It was way cool to go and see the place where he lived a long time ago. I know I took pictures of the city, but apparently I don't have them anymore, so I'm not sure if I accidentally deleted them or what. :( Sorry... But anyways, it was sooooo hot and we wanted to go swimming, so we went to this swimming pool, where there was no one but us! It was so refreshing and way awesome! Driving back home, we saw this place that had coconut milk and watermelon so we stopped to have some. Alex and I didn't really like the coconut but the watermelon was delicious! So good, except I spilled on my shirt (typical me, I know).

Guatemala: The Beach... :)

On Monday, we went to this remote beach because Alex and Derick wanted to go surfing. It was kind of private because we had to get in a motor boat to get there. When we arrived at the beach, there was absolutely no one else there. It was so mesmerizing to be able to just look out at the water and feel it rushing over your toes. It was so nice and peaceful. There was a surfing place where the two guys who taught the lessons were at. It was such an awesome little shack. The lessons were really cheap and way chill, which is funny to think about, because in the U.S., there are so many rules and anything like that would be way expensive.

Guatemala: Antigua

So, I think on Sunday we went to Antigua. It was like decided as the most beautiful place on earth (by whoever decides those type of things) and I'm gonna have to agree that it was absolutely amazing! :) Mostly we just walked around and saw everything and of course did a little shopping ! There isn't much explanation and a picture is worth a thousand words...
