I am a type three personality-which means I like to write lists. But I don't want to turn into a list lady. I just want to document every single thing that happens in my life, you know!? 

So here's what I've decided for today.... I'm gonna write lots of little blog posts all in one blog post! My thoughts are super jumbled, and I think I have ten thousand things to say but I'm not really sure, so I guess just read on if you really want to.

I mean, after all I am an emotional teenage girl and this blog is my journal sort of. 

So I guess this will all make perfect sense.

So here we go.

(i say so a lot)

MONDAY

Rose and I went to the new Justin Bieber movie this day. Lemme just tell you a little something about my love for the Biebs..... I don't care how much of a punk he is (cause let's face it he is) and I don't care what anyone thinks, I will ALWAYS be a JB fan. Till the day I die. And his movie just revamped my love for him all over again! I follow him on instagram, I have a cardboard cut out of him in my room, I've watched his first movie prolly a hundred times, and a year ago today I saw him live in concert. That will always be one of my favorite days of my life. On the reals, I just love him.

Also, Rose and I were the ONLY ones in the theater. It was amazing. And also, the camera on my phone was being really retarded that day. I just kept pressing the take button, thinking that it was being slow and not working... I had no idea it was taking pictures the whole time. 

So this is what happened.

Ugh.... such ugly pictures, I don't even want to talk about it. (i basically looked homeless all break)

So Monday was pretty much a really awesome day.

TUESDAY

Tuesday was the raddest day of skiing that I've had in a real long time. Rose and I shredded Targhee like it was our job. And even though the top was completely fogged in, it didn't slow us down in the slightest. The snow was perfect, and we only face planted like, four times total between the two of us. So much success and such a FUN day. One of the highlights was probably one of the lift rides we had. We sat next to this really cool couple who talked to us about really random and funny things. Then the dude was like, "Do you guys watch skiing on TV at all?" And me and Rose were like, "Nah not really..."  And then the dude was like, "Well you are currently riding the lift with a Sochi Olympic hopeful." (que jaw dropping) This is the part in the story where Rose and I turned into such fans and blabbed on and on about how cool that was and how lucky we felt and how cool that was and how we'd watch for her on TV and how cool that was. And of course this was just after we got done telling them how amateur we were at skiing, and how we thought it was so sick that we could catch two inches of air on a box in the terrain park.. Seriously, we're the lamest kids. 

(watch for Maddie Bowman in a month and think of me, okay?)

It was the best ski day ever.

TUESDAY NIGHT

We partied. 

Welcome 2014. 

This year is gonna be a huge year for me and for all of my friends.

 It's also gonna be one of the best years ever! 

I can tell.

Let's kill it.

^^no worries.... it's sparkling cider^^

FRIDAY

Lyndsey and I went grocerie shopping for my mom all by ourselves. It was actually really fun despite the fact that we had to call mom for every single item on the list. Really, it was great. 

We were almost done and Lyndsey turns to me and says, "What are we having for dinner?"

So I said, "Hamburgers." 

Then Lyndsey calls Mom and I'm thinking okay whatever. And then she asks Mom, "What are we having for dinner?" 

And Mom says, "Hamburgers."

What the heck...? 

^^we couldn't find where we parked so we took a pic^^

FRIDAY NIGHT

SLEEPOVER. UNO. POPCORN. ONE DIRECTION. 2 AM. THE LIFE OF FOUR BEST FRIENDS MISSING ONE.

^^and if this isn't the most perfectly horrible polaroid you've ever seen, then i don't know what is^^

SATURDAY

This was an extra good day.

 My best friend baptized his little sister!

 I'm so glad they invited me to come because it was honestly the coolest thing ever. I'm so proud of Gabe and proud that he's worthy to be able to do something like that. And his little sister is THE CUTEST 8 year old I've ever met.

What a week it has been. We started 1 o'clock church today too. THAT is going to be a struggle and a half for the next 7 months.

And unfortunately school starts again tomorrow. Wish me luck and patience so I don't fail a test or kill anyone.... 

bye.

the great escape

Sometimes, running away isn't such a bad thing.

Friday morning, Mom and I were talking and somehow the idea of disappearing for a few days was tossed into the air. We looked each other dead in the eyes and before you know it, we were making arrangements to put the dog in the kennel, book a hotel room, and pack our bags. 

SALT LAKE HERE WE COME

Best idea we've ever had, I tell you. It was soooooo good to just get up and leave for a few days. We went to the mall, ate super good food, saw the lights at Temple Square, and did whatever the heck we wanted, JUST BECAUSE WE COULD.

We had so much fun.

^^we took mirror selfies because no one said no^^

It was a good weekend. 

Now back to reality. 

Which means I get to go lift at the gym tomorrow morning. 

YESSSSSSSSSS. 

a day late christmas post

Merry Christmas to you and yours from one content teenage misfit.

I hope your day was as fun, exciting, family-filled, and wonderful as mine was. Never forget the reason for the season. It's a special time of the year and I'm so happy and blessed to be where I am and with the people I love most. 

Cheers! xoxo 

wannabe photographer

I have this new hobby and it's called photography.

 I've always kinda liked taking pictures and capturing moments, so I decided to dig a little deeper into this stuff for my senior project. It would be a fun way to do a huge assignment that determines whether or not I graduate... So I thought win, win amirite? Fun + good grades = happy Sierra.

 Guys, I'm telling you, this isn't only a win, win... it's a WIN, WIN. 

I'm hooked like an addict and I don't even care.

Photography is the bomb.com and my new love.

The only thing is, I'm such an amateur.

But who cares?

Not me, that's who.

So the other day I grabbed Lyndsey and we went on a little mini shoot excursion so I could practice and stuff. And you know what? These pics aren't half as bad as I was expecting. Granted I still have a loooong way to go to reach National Geographic status, I was pretty darn impressed with myself.

And let's just talk about my sister for two seconds. Holy grown up. I swear yesterday I was pushing her around in my little baby stroller when she was just a wee tike. And now look at her. She's a STUNNA.

DISCLAIMER: warning to all boys that try to get cozy at the cone with this woman. I will find you, and I will kill you.......

But phareel. She's hot.

Just look.

I told you I still have a long way to go. But I'm oh so excited to develop this new skill. I've already spent hours on pinterest getting cool ideas, so I mean, I'm getting kind of somewhere (pinterest sucks ya in I tell you). 

Just wait you guys. In a few years, my pictures are gonna be siiiiiiiick.
