Another. Best. Friend. haha

I met salina when we were in grade 5. i didn't know her until grade 6! we became friends when we decided we wanted to make a new marble blast gold game and send it in to try to make it become a real game haha. we were such goofs. then a whole bunch of my other friends got in on it hand then the whole idea got ruined. but we still had so much fun. we maintained our friendship till the middle of grade 7 where we started to hang out with separate genders haha. i guess we didn't think hanging out with someone of the opposite gender wasn't cool. but oh well. in march of the 8th grade we decided to really become friends again. her mom was involved with the new art centre down town. so we figured it would be the perfect time to reunite our friendship. and after that we stayed friends to this day. there would be times when we would fade a lil but we were usually still really great friends. she has always been my friend even when i wouldn't be the best of one. ever since the 8th grade she's been the best friend anyone could ever ask for. about a year ago we decided to build a tree fort. another friend who is very skilled with carpentry joined and the three of us really bonded. it took us exactly 3 months and 3 days to build the fort. and it was pretty amazing. it had carpet and appolstered benches. it was pretty great. we finished it on her birthday, but we sup prised her(me and this other boy) we came out after the two of us got off work, and came straight to the fort. at the current time it only had plywood floors and walls. the place was a mess. so we cleaned it up. put two large benches in it. and put carpet on the floor. it was perfectly insulated cause were fetching great like that. so when salina saw it her face was pricless. :)
anhyways she's a really good friend and i thought she deserves more recognition for her amazing personality.

Sentimental

Lately I've been getting extremely sentimental about being little again. for some reason i just wish i could go back and be a little kid again with no responsibilities or worries. but then again i love high school life and i wouldn't give up my drivers licence for nothing. they other day i came across my old scrap book that i made when i was in grade 5 or so. i found some pictures and then took pictures with my phone. of the pictures. if that makes sense? haha so that really didn't help seeing all these pictures of me when i was super little. and thinking that graduation is only a mere 2 and a little years away its kinda crazy thinking of all that. haha but life will go on and i will have an awesome young adult life. so i need to simply enjoy the life i have right now.

 

oh and also just a couple pictures of me and one of my friends in foods class. haha foods is definitely my favourite class. we have so much fun. we cook everyday and always make super delish stuff

Since we was 2

I've lived in my current house for almost 10 years, before i lived here i lived 15 minutes away in a smaller town where i had the best friend of my whole life! we don't get to hang out as much as we'd like but we do our best! :D i met her when i was 2 years old and since then she's been the best friend any guy could ask for. sadly we only have like 1 picture together !! :'( but we will get more soon enough! so for now i'll just post separate picture of the two of us! :p she's been there for me through thick and thin and i hope i can return that favour for her. :)

Love ya ali! :D

Teenage Years

In English class my teacher mr. henninger asked us to do a writing assignment on how an event in our life has changed our view of the world. So i wrote about my parents diseases and how close they got to death. and then i got all sentimental about being young (12 and under) again haha i always catch myself wishing i was little again. i don't know why. so i've been working on enjoying my teenage years cause i only have 2 1/2 years of school left then I'm gone on a mission for 2 years. after that its university for me! weird that i'm already thinking about my mission and going to university. I'm a really lucky kid cause i've got such great friends, so its really easy for me to enjoy life as it is. Yesterday my parents let me go over to one of my friends house for a super bowl party, it was a lot of fun we watched the game and played ping pong and ate some really delicious food! I'm so lucky for all the friends i have.

i've got such awesome friends :p

Annual Winter shoot

Every Year, my neighbour and i have a mini photo shoot. cause a full one would need big props and fluffy costumes. but we have neither of those! haha so Miranda(my neighbour) and i simply have our cute little shoots together. last year we had ours last year and only took 11 pictures :o noooooooooo! but this year we look 107 so its a little better. were hoping to have a spring one too! :D we started off in the basement but the lighting was terrible. so then we went to my mums sewing room area place with some really cool big barber shop lights. but the lighting till wasn't the best so i took some pics of the barber shop lights! :D then we made our way upstairs and took a few pictures out on the deck. it was 11:30 at night so it was a little chilly! so we got blankets! :D after we took some pictures by the fireplace and beside some plants. then we went to the garage and took some pictures by our wood pile and with my dads vintage bug! :D so that pretty much wraps up the shoot. we took some really nice pictures and some pretty weird ones. i won't upload them all but i'll be sure to put up some of everything! :)

SUBWAY! & the fam jam

My wise tip of the Week. haha

"A relationship without trust, is like a phone without service. all you do is play games" 

i thought of that one while i had no service for some reason and i heard some girl talking about the lack of trust in her relationship. btw i was playing a game on my phone :p

I work at subway and i simply love it! i've been there for almost 2 years now and i feel like a champ. and plus its the best job to get with the girls! :p haha jk it definitely isn't. but oh well! its a great job for the school year and my bosses are just great :D

My whole family came home this summer for our very first "Paterson family reunion" and it was just grand! :D My brother had recently come home from his mission and thats so it was the first time in 10 years we had the WHOLE family together at one time. so it was really nice. we built a deck together and hiked red rock canyon. and did a lot of super fun stuff together.

Lifes frusterations and first post!

Life always seems to through something in your way just to make everything complicated. its a sad reality that we all must face. But like my mom has always told me. sometimes you just have to pick yourself up and keep moving. :)

i decided to make a blog because i felt like i needed something journal-ish. but not something where i could get carried away and write another version of the bible. lots of my family members have blogs so i figured i could start one as well :)
