Updates and Pictures Of Awesomeness!!!!

That's right I just got done uploading some pictures from the past couple of weeks! whoo! so with out further adu (spell check?) here you go :D

We'd been camping for like 3 dayz that's why our hair was so messed up. 

There was a battle of the sexes night at the youth group I go to in Vegas. That's what happened...

You know your life is complete when your favorite singer is on a snack you eat at least 4 times a day. 

I painted my toenails blue with silver circles on them in support of diabetes awareness month. 

I didn't know she was taking the picture. That is what my cousin and I call the spider swing. 

My grandpa and I chased an ice cream truck down for 1/4th of a mile. We never get ice cream trucks in the rural area of the city so we had to take the opportunity. 

My view from our jeep expedition. That was the other jeep that went with us. 

Just A Bunch Of Randomness Thrown Into One Post About A Bunch Of Randomness! ;D

Happy November! Guess what guys we made it! October was a really hard month, but we did it. That was a giant hurdle for me,you can see why here, but I made it. Today is now November 1, 2011. OOOR 11/1/11 haha funny to say. :) Anyways... Today marks the beginning of National Diabetes Awareness Month. Now I don't have Type 1, but I have friends and family that do and I want to help raise as much awareness as I can until they find a cure! One way is by participating in Blue Fridays! This is where every Friday in November you wear blue. That's it as simple as that. I'm totally in! 
     Besides making it to November I've also been busy finishing up October. Here is a lil recap.

I got a temporary tattoo. :) 

I went on a trip to California, my first trip since my diagnosis. 

I curled my hair. And was UBER proud of that amazing curl right there! 

Oh! And I beat my bro at 3-D hopscotch. (We fell... a lot.)

       Yeah I think that's about it. Don't forget to wear blue EVERY FRIDAY IN NOVEMBER!

Keep your head up and thinkin blue,
Ellie <3

An Update In Pictures!

Sometimes I just can't explain what I've been up to so here is just a glimpse of my weekend.

 The Church Carnival! 

We had a ton of fun working this weekend at our church's carnival. :) 

Popcorn Man! 

 Oh yes... Be jealous of the face paint! 

My brother, best friend, and I also attended the Nevada Wild Fest. The procedes went to the Lili Claire Foundation, a foundation very close to my heart. We had an amazing time and came home with some amazing memories! 

 She had her eyes closed. ;) 

 My bro isn't the biggest Ferris Wheel fan :) 

 This was her very first Ferris Wheel ride. She was a little nervous and held onto the pole for dear life. 

TODAY IS ALSO TUESDAY!! Which means there are only 2 and 1/2 days left til the weekend!! WHOO!!!

Keep your head up and your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all timez,

Day 8 of the 365 Project

Day 8 of the 365 Project

OH SNAP! fuzzy slipper socks AND fuzzy slipper shoes in Vegas in October BE JEALOUS!!

Ellie <3

Day 7 of the 365 Project

     A few weeks ago at Monday night band practice the color guard was looking a tiny bit sluggish. Well, we all were. Thus was the origin of my latest idea (did I use thus correctly?). Every Tuesday I would bring candy to give away to who ever wanted it. Some weeks it's chocolate others it's blow pops and air heads, but if it's Tuesday I have candy. I took a trip to my beloved store Target and bought a brand new bag of candy for next Tuesday. This bringing you to today's picture. I hope you all have a FANTABULOUS Tuesday. :D

Giagantor bag of candy!! 

Day 6 of the 365 Project

Make your own pizza night with the family. Good timez <3 

Day 5 of the 365 Project

Oh yeah I made cupcakes! They're my famous 4 chocolate cupcakes!! With chocolate mix, chocolate chips, chocolate frosting, and the new oreo frosting to top it off :) 

Day 4 of the 365 Project

Just another trip to Target. :P 

Teenager and A Tiara

I was in a pageant. Scarry to think. I've always made fun of the girls and the moms on Toddlers and Tiaras (sorry if you're one of them), but I've never got the concept of pageants. My family decided to host one of our own and I was to be a part of it. There was a dinner before which was Mexican Stack Up or Taco Salad which ever you want to call it. There was also candy corn for the desert. Me, calculating out carbs and what my BG would end up looking like midway took three candy corns. About half way through I could tell I was dropping so I tested 3 minutes before I was supposed to go on. 86. Cool not low, but I should probably do something now to prevent something later. I drank a juice box. My cousin saw me guzzling juice and came to check on me. She started freaking out when I told her I was 86. She for some reason thought I was going to like pass out or something. I went out rocked the dance. Won a tiara and Dance Interpretation and didn't pass out. So I'll leave you with this like 20 second long video as today's picture. It's me dancing to Taylor Swift's Haunted.

Day 3 of the 365 Project

This is what happens to the back of your BG log when you're bored in English and low. :P

The penguin in the left his name is Pablo and he is a crime fighting super penguin. And the meter in the center middle is named Ottis. Yes, that's what I named my meter. Awesome right? I know. :P

Day 2 of the 365 project

Stupid chemistry homework I forgot I had...

Sorry it's all wonky on it's side. I tried fixing it. Didn't exactly work. Hope everyone has an awesome day!

Day 1 Of the 365 Project

I'm going to try the 365 Project where you take a picture of your life every day for one year. So we'll see how this goes. :)

Nothing says "Good morning" better than a good ol' blood sugar check.
