Ending Summer With A Bang

My parents and I went rafting the other day with our neighbors. It was an all day trip and lots of fun. We saw horses and a river otter which according to the guide is a rare sighting. There were lots of slow lazy riva parts which I didn't like as much. When we actually had rapids it was lots of fun though.
Yesterday was Annica's first youth temple trip. I really enjoyed it. In the car some friends and I worked on planning our prom. So far our plans for a mormon prom have been going really well. We have the support of our leaders too which is always a good thing.
School starts on September 2. It's way later than usuall, but still feels too close. There are people and things I have not missed and don't want to deal with again. Not to mention I'm taking an AP class. Ugg. Its kinda scary to think about, I'm nervous. One of my friends took it last year and she said she liked it. I guess I'll form my own opinion in a few days. I just bet I'll get a paper on the first day though. Again, ugg.

Sweet 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is my 16th bday! So far its been great. This morning I got a dress I've been wanting for a long time. I almost bought it for myself a few months ago, but didn't because it's a little more formal dress. I was so excited!! I went and got my makeup done at Macy's today and bought some of the stuff they used. It was really expensive stuff! Tonight I'm having a party with lots of friends. Its going to be lots of fun. I'm keeping it simple, but lovin' it!

Retainer/plastic spoon, online classes and skirts

So yea I've decided my plastic retainer is a PAIN!!! Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have it instead of my braces. But it really does feel like a plastic spoon is in my mouth all day. I end up sucking on it. EW!! I ate my first whole apple in two years today. When my Mom saw me she kinda chuckled at how I was eating it. I was taking really tiny bites cause it felt sooo wierd to eat something like that. Glad I can do it though!!
I've been working on my online class a lot latley. I actually finished a unit today, so it's going by really fast. I'll be done by the time school starts.
Mom, Annica and I have been working on making Annica and I skirts. We went and spent forever diliberating over a pattern and fabrice the other day. Annica got this really cute white fabric with dasies "drawn" in black and she's going to have a top piece be black. Mine is a red skirt with a large floral print. I love red shoes and skirts and accesories. This is a very sudden thing, no idea why either.
The other day I borowed my friend's movie Wait Untill Dark with Audry Hepborn (spelling???)All my friends have seen it, so I've heard all about the scariest part of the movie. I was waiting for it the entire time, and I still jumped when it happened. Mom screamed. I think that scared me as much as the movie.
I just realized like 5 minutes ago what day it is today. Its 14 days 'till my b-day. I was totally shocked. I haven't really been thinking about it. Which is crazy seeing I've dreamed of turning 16 since I was like 12. Wow. I know one thing for sure. I'll either end up going on lots of boring dates because no one can come up with anything creative, or really crazy cool ones. I guess I'll find out!
A few of my friends and me are planning on putting on an LDS prom this year. I went to homecomingn this last year and I have to say I hated it. And I do want to go to prom, just not the school's. So we are getting a group together and putting a prom on ourselves. I'm very excited. And kinda have a feeling I've blogged about this before.....
