Character Questions

Hello everyone!!

Alright, so I'm writing this story about long-lost twins who star in a movie together... and I need some questions to be answered about my character, Kellie!

What do you want to know about her?

Any questions, please!! But please refrain from asking questions like, 'What's her favorite food', etc. I want down deep type of questions, like for example: "What makes her angry?"

Alright? So please ASK AWAY!!!

Thanks.
Love,
Manda

My Sonshine Team

So, I know my posts lately have been all about Sonshine, but sorry, nothing else has been really happening. :) Last night was the first night for Sonshine.

It was crazy crazy crazy, but also a blast!! The little kiddos are so much fun, and I know I will miss them when the week is over.

Here's my team for the 2's and 3's.

//L-R: Jared, Andrew, Kiley, Me, Meghan, and Trent//

Love,

I only have these two pics on my camera, cuz the rest were taken on Mom's camera, which take centuries to download, but I will try and get those up, even if its at the end of the week with a post on the whole week.

//Allison, Hannah, and me at the end of the carnival with our awesome possum 'sonshine' shirts.//

Anyhoo, that's my surprise! Hope you liked it. ;)

Weekend Haul

   //Awesome tribal-print dress from Sears. Its a gem. Price: $13.00//

 // Wonderful *baggy* striped sweater from Forever 21. Price: $6.99//

//Fun, colorful totes from Forever 21. Price: $1.50 each//

Dad and the boys went on an overnight backpacking trip on Friday, so it was just the girlies at home! We literally spent like the whole time shopping! We were looking for church clothes, 'cause all three girls (me, and my 2 sisters) are lacking desperately for new things to wear for church!! Thankfully I got a dress, and so did Meg. Lis is still looking, sadly. :/ But we had a fun time. Once we got back from shopping yesterday we rented 'What a Girl Wants' (very good movie, I might add!!) and ordered Marcos pizza, then finished the night off with home movies.

How was your weekend?

 Any special plans for Father's Day? 

Don't forget to tell your special daddy how much he means to you!

Hooked

I am now a Peeta fan. I still love Gale, but after reading 'the Hunger Games' for the 2nd time, Peeta has won me over.

Plus, I seriously think that Josh and Jennifer can not get more adorable. They are so blasted cute and hilarious!! They have amazing chemistry. :)

Are you for Gale/Liam, or Peeta/Josh?

New Haircut!

So, today my mom cut my hair to my shoulders. :) And then I curled it, so now I feel sorta like Selena Gomez with her past *adorable* short hairstyle. Oh and Lizzie Olsen, of course.

Sorry, I didn't get a before pic, but y'all know pretty much what my hair length was. :)

So there you go!! I'm glad I got it cut - it feels lighter and it'll be better for the summer too... except the weather hasn't exactly been stifling hot yet.

 //eating just-picked-today strawberries with frozen, whipped cream. i'm in heaven.//

I Love {Short Hair}

 

 

 

 

I've decided to cut my hair. Preferably the length of Elizabeth or Ashley Olsen. I haven't decided yet. haha But I have a really long face, and short hair just looks the best on me. :)

Love,
Manda

I Love Her

^^

//from her FACEBOOK//

We have a few things in common:

1. We're the same height!!! (4'11'' to be exact)

2. Our birthdays are both in January, only two years and one day a part.

3. Our favorite color is turquoise.

4. We both have hazel eyes.

5. We're both the shortest in our families.

6. We both live(d) in Iowa, only 2 hours away from each other!!

I have been a fan of Shawn since I first saw her compete in the Beijing Olympics, and even though she has officially retired, I will still continue to be a fan of her, and, like a loyal fan, cheer on and support her in any future plans. 

Love,

Manda

Last Day of School

In homeroom, we had a goodbye surprise party for our English teacher, who has been teaching at my school for 20+ years, and is now retiring. It was really sad, and I wish I could have had her for more than just a year, but at least she said she'd come back and sub!! :) Here are just a few pictures from the party.

//can you spot me?//

 //mrs. c and i...//

// i look horrible here. oh the joys of a school uniform...//

So then after school was let out on the last day, me and andy went to a party with our class, but i took no pictures. :) sorry! Also, I took a vid from the party, but it wouldn't upload, so i guess you can't see it! :/ oh well.

 Love,

Manda
