Long time, no blog....

Um okay wow. I want to apologize for not posting for almost THREE MONTHS. It is unacceptable.

The last time I posted was beginning of October. Since then, cross country has ended, and the swim season started mid-November so I've had practice every day after school since then. It's pretty fun but also time-consuming, but our 8-10AM practices every day this week really just aren't working out...

My 17th birthday came and passed at the end of November (Ashlee and Kaylee, I loved your guys' tweets/posts!!) and it was actually pretty fun. My friends and I went out to dinner, where the people at the restaurant sang to me and made me wear an enormous sombrero (see my picture-->). Seventeen feels a little bit older than sixteen, but it's not a super exciting birthday like sixteen was.

My winter break started last Wednesday, after a few days of finals, and it could not have come at a better time. I was getting so sick of school and it has been WONDERFUL having nothing to do for the past week. So far it's been good; I love Christmas and I'm sad it's over, but my family had a good day. Since Christmas I've pretty much been going to swim practice and hanging out with my friends. Since we didn't see my dad's family over Christmas, we had them all to our house last night for dinner, which was fun. A few of my cousins came into town who we hadn't seen in a couple of years, so that was really good to see them.

Tonight is the only night that my four closest friends and I will all be in town, so we're going out to dinner (Dewey's!) and then helping two of them pack because they're going to Florida tomorrow.

As of right now I have no plans for New Year's Eve, but I'd love to hear about what you all are doing!!

Sorry if that was super boring but I missed blogging and just wanted to fill you guys in! One of my New Year's Resolutions is to blog more and keep in touch with you guys more often :)

love you all xo
