New York, New York

 Last week ,myself, my mom, my sisters Megan and Lindsay, my aunt Holly and cousin Annie went to New York City. New York is my favorite place to vacation. I love the shopping, the musicals, the park, all of it! Here are some things we did and places we went to:

• Times Square
• Macy's
• The Little Mermaid, Curtains, South Pacific and Mary Poppins
• The Stardust Diner
• Norma's
• The Met
• The Museum of Natural History
• Central Park
• FAO Schwartz
• The American Girl Doll Store

It was a great trip!

Sarah has a rebellious side!

Shocking, isn't it? I, boring and predictable, Sarah Jane have a rebellious side. Tonight was the first night it has ever shown itself but everyone was surprised it was there.

My friends and I decided to play some pranks, which obviously we don't usually do. It wasn't major or extreme but we were very proud of ourselves. I had the time of my life! It made it even more worth while because I got to rub it in my friend Sam's face since he always teases me for being too afraid to do anything out of the ordinary. He was very proud and surprised!

It was a great way to start off the summer!

Squashomore No More!

Since it is the last week of my Sophomore year, I want to look back on the things I learned this year.

The 1st thing I learned (and probably the most important) is that boys don't have cooties. It sounds strange that it has taken me up till this point to realize it but I had always been afraid of them until this year. I realized they are fun to hang out with and they make awesome and understanding friends.

The 2nd thing I learned was that it doesn't matter what people think about you. In Jr. High that was all anybody cared about. I always felt like I had to be perfect and always look good. Now however, I feel comfortable in my own skin and enjoy being different from the crowd. It is nice to not feel judged and not being ashamed of who you are!

The last thing I learned was that I have some amazing and very loyal friends! This year was hard for all of us and it took awhile to adjust to high school but my friends were always there for me. Although some of them got boyfriends and a different group of friends, they still cared about me and made an effort! I am a lucky girl!

All I can say is that I am grateful that this year is over and that I made it through! It was tough for awhile but I am really grateful for the things I have learned and the good friends I have made.

Sweet Sixteen!

Yesterday was my birthday and I am proud to report that I am sweet sixteen! It feels great to be sixteen, although I am not sure that it differs much from being fifteen!

I spent my birthday with my family and of course it was Beatles themed! I even had wrapping paper shipped from London, England for the event. Call me crazy but I thought it was fitting! The cake was a chocolate tribute to Abbey Road and tasted delicious!

My favorite gift was my pink Daisy Rock guitar. I can't wait to start lessons so I can actually play it properly. My family also got me some other awesome things and my best friend Eliza got me a cute shirt, wallet and a burned copy of the Beatles Love Show. (She knows me so well!)

 

It was a great birthday!
