"I said, what about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"

Well Homecoming was this weekend and it was THE BEST DANCE EVER!!! My date was amazing, and super fun, the dance was such a blast, our day date was super fun, and everything was pretty much awesome!! Well we did our day date a week in advance cause a couple of us (including me :/) had the ACT to take the day of homecoming, and we went to In-n-Out, a corn maze, and then watched a scary movie. The corn maze was a little lame at the beginning but it got way more fun once we got further back...and decided to have a little fun with it haha. Then we went to Jake's house and watched 1408. The day of Homecoming they picked us up for dinner and we went to Adam's house where they had gone all out in decorating the backyard all spooky and stuff and it looked awesome!! Then we took pictures and dinner was amazing! Soooo good. Especially since I had been so dang busy that day that I kind of forgot to eat...ooops. Then we went to the dance and there were A TON of people there! We got pictures then spent the rest of the time dancing like crazy!! My date was so much and our group was awesome!! We were by far the craziest ones there!! I think we stopped dancing for like....3 minutes...just to get a drink of water. Then we stayed afterward to help Student Council clean up and then went to Sterling's house for pazookies. It was such a fun night and by far the best dance I have ever gone to! Sterling and I were Holly Golightly and Fred from Breakfast at Tiffany's and we looked "SICK"!! (Sterling's favorite word) But really though...we looked so legit!! It was awesome!! Although everytime somone would ask us who we were being (before Homecoming) and we would tell the the couple from Breakfast at Tiffany's they were like, "Oh! Like the song!" no......the movie. All the girls in our group. (From left to right) Devyn was an asian, I was audrey hepburn, Crista was a zombie, Brooke was a nerd, and Toree was Hermione.
As I said...we looked AWESOME.

"Step two, son"

one of my new favorite websites these are some of my favorites:

Really??

This show came on today while I was watching T.V. and I pretty much almost puked. It is so ridiculous!! And actually really awkward to watch...And no one is going to realize that there are different Mormon religions....once they hear Mormon they are going to think, "I knew it! Mormons are polygamists." Great....

Gallon Challenge

Well I manned up tonight and participated in the Gallon Challenge. Ooooooohhhh mmmmaaaaannn. I did it with three of my guy friends and I totally put them to SHAME!!!! I probably had about 3 or 4 cups left in my gallon but literally had no more room in my body for any more milk. But..I got further than anyone else so i won!! Plus I was the only one that hadn't thrown up....yet. I was walking away to take Kenna home when I lost it.....wont go into details but ever seen a fire hose...? yyyeeeaaaaahhh....... Moral of the Story: I am waaay tougher than boys!! well...those boys ;) P.S. I will not be drinking milk for a looooooong time.

I am in love...

So I have found a new love.....Seattle!! Seattle is pretty much the most gorgeous, exciting, fun city!! I went with my best friend Kenna to visit her dad who lives on Bainbridge Island (about 25 minutes from Seattle, by ferry (yeah....my first time riding a ferry.. I was oober excited)) We had a blast up there!! The weather was amazing and I loved the rain. We went shopping in Seattle, hiked Hurricane Ridge (we could see Vancouver from the top! It was a spectacular view!! totally worth the 1.5 mile hike uphill.....STEEP uphill), walked along the beaches, went shopping around downtown Bainbridge, and watched a ridiculous amount of movies! And I mean a RIDICULOUS amount, including:
Fever Pitch Wall-E Fox & the Hound Dumbo Pocahontas The Notebook Maid in Manhattan My Best Friend's Wedding
And probably more that I'm forgetting. It was such an amazing vacation, and much needed. Thank you so much Kenna Jean!!!! I love you!! I am ready to go back, loved it so so much.
sorry for the terrible resolution of the pictures, I lugged my huge camera to Seattle and genius me forgot the memory card. So my pictures are all from my phone =)

Breakfast at Tiffany's

I recently saw Breakfast at Tiffany's for the very first time in my life. I know...shocking. But I ABSOLUTELY loved it!! It is so adorable! I have definitely been missing out all these years. I absolutely love Audrey Heburn. I have this new fascination with old movies and this just hit the top of my list. I have too many favorite parts to list, but I must of course mention Cat, I was oh so sad when she abandoned him for what? a whole 3 minutes? Such a lovely movie and i recommend it to anyone and everyone! I hope to someday find a man who will spend the day with me doing things we've never done, such as spending $10 at Tiffany's or stealing masks from a children's toy store. Awhh....so romantic.

The LoMia Saga

So up at Girl's Camp for some reason they had this poster up:
Then on the last day we were super bored and thought it would be hilarious to duplicate it....so we did :
My photoshop skills came in quite nicely for this =)

Dark Clouds & Silver Linings

Dark Clouds: school starts in exactly 8 hours 20 minutes. ugh!!!! I am officially a senior. Excited? yes! dreading it? Yes! I am not looking forward to 3 AP classes this year....not at all. And i am like a 1/3 of the way through my summer reading since i found out I had that class like.....4 days ago. Yeah...I'm screwed. Silver Linings: My sister is going to be a freshman tomorrow!! SOOOOOO WEIRD!!! But, as we were saying family prayers tonight.....my dad said, "Well Erin, it's your last night of innocence so you had probably better say the prayer." hahaha so funny.....and sadly somewhat true. (p.s. to dark cloud....RIDICULOUS ANNOYING PEOPLE AT HIGH SCHOOL!!!) The last of my silver linings; this was the highlight of my day. So long to hot summer nights and hotter summer days, and hello to my new life living at the library. (yes Steph I stole the title from your old blog =) )

growing up..

Lately I have been EXTREMELY (to say the least) STRESSED!! I have been trying and trying to get my schedule fixed for senior year for the sole purpose of getting into BYU. Having changed it a total of 3 times so far and having my sister go in to a BYU admissions counselor (thanks Steph!! youre the best!) I am hoping for some stress relief soon. I have been getting lots of questions lately; "Where do you want to go to college?", "What do you want to major in?" "What are you going to do for the REST of your life?" I'M 17!! I have no clue!! All I know is that I want to go to BYU...thats all. And then of course I get the haters: "BYU sucks! Why do you want to go there??" Simply because BYU is amazing and awesome!!

Ughhhhhh...

I HATE PACKING!! but I am ooober excited for Girls Camp!!

Seriously...not necessary!

newest addition to the Olds' household...

Name: Sophie. Breed: puggle (part pug, part beagle). So adorable? yes! So exhausting? Double yes!! I'm thinking of trying Dale Sturtevant's method of training dogs....

Reminiscing....

Back when my dad would fly weekly (who am I kidding, he still does). Rather....back when the world wasn't full of terrorists and we could walk my dad to the terminal door when he would fly, my sisters and I always had much too fun on the moving sidewalks. Rather than walk, stand, and mosey, our tag line for these were "Stand on right, walk on left,.....RUN DOWN THE MIDDLE!!!!"
Other passengers on the moving sidewalks did not find it as amusing as we did.
