With 7 hours and 30...29 minutes left in 2013, I am going to share 13 of my favorite memories from the year (in no particular order)
1. A spur of the moment party with dear friends, and dear memories.
2. A trip to Cannon Beach, OR with my family. If you've never been, I highly recommend a trip, even if just for a night.
3. Hosting the Kalles Jr. High Talent show with one of my best friends, CJ.
All three of these girls hold a special place in my heart.
4. Celebrating Mrs. Lane's birthday (and getting caught decorating and nearly getting our heads bitten off....but that's for another time)
We pulled out ceiling tiles and covered them in paper
17.01 Things We Love About Mrs. Lane (1701...anyone, anyone..? Bueller..?)
The "S---" team (Use your imagination, friends ;) )
The Rebel symbol
LW = Lane's World
5. I was honored to escort one of my best friends, Jesse, for Mr. Tyee 2013. (and hey, he won! Yayy!)
Three of the strongest girls you will ever meet, and I am honored to call them my friends.
This picture is actually from our 9th grade dance, but it fits here too.
Mr. Tyee 2013
We were really excited we won.....what?..you can't tell?
6. Dis.ney.land. Need I say more?!
7. This one isn't as cheerful as the others, but still was a large part of my 2013......Surgeries 8 & 9 on hip left and right. (If you are interested in reading more about my surgeries and recovery, read here: http://sis2buds.tumblr.com/ ) I am anxious to leave this part of my life behind me....for a little while at least.
Coming home!!
Clada came to visit and cuddle. It's amazing what a snuggle session with a puppy will do for your health!
8. My first dance and my first Homecoming! I love that 2013 brought on many firsts!

9. MY FIRST CAR!! And my license (for a whole week before surgery 9....watch out 2014....I'll be on the road for much, much longer this time!)
Everyone meet Oliver. Oliver, meet everyone.
10. This one is bittersweet as well, saying farewell to Kalles and hello to PHS. I will remember my time at Kalles fondly, and will always come back, but I know that there are big things in my future at PHS!
These are my people. PHS, OHS, Thailand......Tyee Goodness
First day of school, y'all!
2013-2014 Sophomore Class Officers
Our first football game as VIKS!
Viking Leadership Family. I am blessed to be a part of this group.
11. Joining debate. I know...I know...but I am a firm believer in that if God places an opportunity in your life, you should take it. I have already had such a wonderful time, and know that 2014 will be even better! (HARVARD, Here I come!!)
1st Place!
