Well I'm home from camp! But unfortunately I came home to an unexpected disaster-I live in Cedar Rapids, IA. And for anyone who doesn't know why that's a big deal, try watching the news sometimes. I am so glad that my house is okay but so many others are not. We only have 50% of our usual amount of water and all bridges over the river except one are closed. It's pretty much total chaos here. So sorry I can't really blog about camp right now but I promise I will in the upcoming days and weeks. I'll talk to you guys later.
Have a swell day!

Well, today we are having a birthday party for my sister Avarie. She will be turning one on June 12th. She is such a happy little girl most of the time. Always has a smile on her face. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the age of one when everything was so simple. No major concerns or decisions. When you're a baby you don't know all of the bad things that could happen tomorrow, you just know that that banana over there looks pretty tasty. Hmmm, if only.

On another completely different note, tomorrow I leave for french camp. Yeah! So this means that I won't be here for quite sometime. After camp I go to my mom's house so my online time will be limited for aproximatly 5 weeks. Sorry, I know you'll all miss me. Just kidding. See you guys later. Bye.

Fashion. It's the best and worst thing to happen all at the same time. In some ways, fashion is an amazing way to share what you want to be and who you are. It shows our unique personalities and views. But on the other hand, fashion is something that every one wants to do. Or to restate that, we want to be cool and fit in. To be like all the 'cool' people that were creative in the first place. This fact completely takes the originality out of 'fashion' and being your self, showing the world who YOU are. Not your neighbor or best friend. What do you guys think?
Have a swell day!
