2017

Twenty Seventeen was a wonderful year. I became an adult, traveled to Europe, grew creatively, made many new friends, and grew closer to Jesus. Twenty Seventeen has made me a much wiser and stronger person through mistakes, lessons learned, new relationships, new jobs, painful trials, and much undeserving love. Here are a few highlights from twenty seventeen. I am beyond blessed and so undeserving of the family God placed me in, the wonderful school I go to, and the endless opportunities.

Cheers to Twenty Seventeen!!

January

Love me some Drew.

And I love Kennedi too.

We started the New Year off with Martinelli's, the Mariah Carey fail, and adorable pictures!! So much fun with my sweet friends and excited to begin the 2018 with them by my side.

February

Surreal moment of seeing one of my favorite dancers dance to one of my favorite songs. Love love love Jenna Johnson and the beauty and strength she conveys through dance.

February mostly consisted of getting ready for March by shopping and researching.

March

One of my favorite months!!! I traveled to London, Paris, Nice, Florence, and Rome with 80 of my best friends!!! Not only did I eat the best food and shopped at the most beautiful stores, but I learned so much about myself. I realized my heart is in big cities and I want to spend my life living in cities full of lights and life. I love admiring the architecture, fashion, and people of cities.

London!!!!!! (peep the Kate Middleton ring)

Roaming around San Gimignano. Looking at a cat sanctuary in Rome.

One of my favorite days of the year. It started with a bike ride around Paris, then shopping at Place Charles de Gaulle Street (Louis Vuitton, Longchamp, Celine, Chanel, Hermes, Nike Paris, YSL, and Zara just to name a few), lunch at La Duree, then more shopping at Supreme, and then even more shopping at the famous Printemps Haussmann which is where this last picture was taken. LOVED that day and my sweet friends Olivia, Lauren, and Carly who made it so fun and rememberable.

April

Prom with my handsome date. It was also my bday which was super fun!!

My Ladies!!!

April was a fun month!! It was my parents 19th wedding anniversary. I celebrated my 18th Birthday with all my friends at prom!! Lots of laughter and fun in April.

May

Birthday tea time with all my loves.

New job at boutique and nail salon!!!!!!!

In May we celebrated my birthday with a kentucky derby tea party!! It was so special to drink tea, watch the Kentucky Derby, and see all my closets friends dressed up with big hats. Anytime I can come up with an excuse to wear my Kate Middleton hat I don't hold back. Also in May, I started working the front desk and boutique at an adorable pink nail salon. I love love love my job. And towards the end of May, I finished my junior year and became a SEN18R!!

June

Willis Tower!! I didn't look down.

The Bean. Buckingham fountain.

In June I went to Chicago with my dad. We shopped, looked at colleges, ate deep dish, went to a cubs game, and saw where my dad grew up. I LOVE Chicago and hope my future career involves many Chicago trips.

July

ATLANTA!!!!!!! I'm so awk in this pic but the sky and colors behind me are unreal. We went on the faris wheel, saw where the olypics were, ate yummy food, and did a lot of shopping and people watching.

happiness is fashion at SCAD!!

SCAD!!!!! The fashion building was unreal. Visited Auburn and LOVED it. It is #4 in . fashion merchanding!!!! War Eagle!!

July was a month of traveling and learning about places I could potentially study in!! We also went to the beach, but I'm not a big beach person (even though I was born and raised in CA) so I stayed inside and learned how to sew.

August

CHEER CAMP!!!

SEN18RS!!!!!!!!!!!!

(gonna miss these girls next year)

The night before our last first day of school we pulled an all nighter. We did Austiny things all night and ended the night together at 5am with a jump in Barton Springs which helped us wake up!!

My Girl Gang. Go Cheer.

In August I began my last cheer season and senior year. My grade made a point to make this school year extra special and fun. Love them all so much and going to miss them.

And that's a wrap for 2017!!! Can't believe all the blessings and oppurtunites God gave me. I am so underserving not only of the all the fun trips and experiences, but of my healthy loving family, my precious friends, my wonderful school, everything I learned and my growth as a person.

I encourage you to reflect on 2017 and count your blessings. Look at photos from each month, remincise on your favorite days, and think about what you learned and what you can do better in 2018.

I can not belive it's TWENTY EIGHTEEN. Y'all, this is the year I graduate high school and go to college. What?! I am beyond excited and working hard to make something happen in the summer. Stay tuned. If it happens it's going to be a dream, but if not, my plan B is so wonderful I can't complain.

My goals of 2018: Grow closer to Jesus by listening to more worship music in the car and reading at least one verse everyday. I want to continue to eat clean (decemeber was not haha), because I am happier when I'm eating my greens and drinking a lot of water. I want to start running more often. I want to continue making a name for myself and preparing for the competitive world of fashion. And I want to be true to myself wherever 2018 takes me.

I'm ready for ya 2018.
