       Oh boy. So this whole week, and the one before it for that matter, have been quite crazy. One of my best friends got married yesterday, as I have mentioned in previous posts, and the week leading up to the wedding was filled with preparations! First off, I was the maid of honor so I had a ton of stuff to do, and secondly, she’s my neighbor so I was over at her house getting her property ready, since it was being held in her yard (we all live on acreage and she has a beautiful, big back yard). All in all it was an insane week! Sorry I haven’t been able to post a lot lately!
       Even though it was extremely busy, it was also a lot of fun. I am so happy for the newlywed couple but it was definitely bittersweet: they are moving (well as of this morning have moved) to California! I have basically grown up with her so it was so hard to say goodbye. I know that they will have great fun there, though. And cell phones make it very convenient to call anytime!
       Goodbyes are just so hard for me! I get pretty emotional when it’s with someone who I have known for a long time. She is basically my sister so it was that much more difficult. I teared up a lot! And one of the things I dislike the most is crying in front of people so I felt so exposed. Haha but so many people were crying so it was okay. 
       Well, I just wanted to do a little check in and let you guys know where in the world I have been. I am now going to go pass out for, like, twelve hours and then do nothing for a day! Hope you all have a great week! (: I will make sure to post more this week!

       So yesterday I had my senior picture photo shoot! It was a lot fun. We went down to a creek that goes through my family and neighbor’s property and took some pretty pictures. We also went up to my neighbors barn/pasture to take pictures with their horses! It was a lot of fun, especially since I love horses. We also took pictures of me with my jeep! That was awesome, I absolutely love my jeep.
       I just can’t believe that I had my senior pictures done; I’m the youngest in my family so it is so surreal that it’s finally my turn to go through my senior year of high school. I remember when my brother was a senior and I just couldn’t believe it – I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now that it’s my turn, I just can’t wait to be done with high school!
       I plan on posting some pictures once the photographer (a family friend of ours, she’s super sweet and is fantastic at what she does) hands the photos over to us. So stay tuned! I’m super excited to see how they turned out, and I love the outfits I wore. It was also a really nice day, so it couldn’t have gotten any better. Unless of course Taylor Lautner or Jack and Finn Harries showed up 😉
       And tomorrow I am going to my really great friend’s, more of an older sister, last wedding dress fitting before her wedding! I am her Maid of Honor, and her wedding is July 27th! I am so excited, but also a little sad because she’s moving after her wedding. But she is transferring to a great college with her fiance so I’m really happy for her! We’ll still be able to talk on the phone and text so it won’t be too bad. But she’s my neighbor as well so it’ll be a little weird without seeing her everyday! Oh well, pretty soon, it will, yet again, be my turn to go off to college!

        So, I figured I should begin my blog by introducing myself. My name is Kendra and I am seventeen years old. I know, I don’t have too many years under my belt but I am trying to take it day by day.
       I am approaching my senior year of high school, and cannot wait to be graduated. I know, I know, it is bad to wish your life away but I am very ready to move on to college. Quick facts about me: I am a swimmer, I play the viola, and I love to read and write. My life at home is quite hectic due to the three big dogs we have and four cats to go along with them. We have a huge Saint Bernard who is a giant teddy bear. But he also loves to bark, and man, can he bark. My family also has two Akitas, who are a little over a year old, so they are full of energy. We actually just a kitten as well, and he is a little Spitfire. Our other three cats have not taken a liking to him yet, but we are getting there. I live with my mom and dad but I have an older brother who lives in Virginia. He’s all grown up and living on his own. Well, I don’t want to bore you with my whole life story. Moving on!
       I have always been an extremely shy person; I do not open up to people quickly and often times find it difficult talking to people I just meet. Once I do become close to someone, however, I am completely open and, yes, a bit crazy. So, I wanted to start this blog to get over my shyness and strive to fulfill my dreams. I am in love with reading, and naturally, writing so I figured blogging would be the perfect fit. I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life, so I am hoping blogging will help me lay out my life and find my path. Cheesy, yes, but effect I am hoping it will be. Just thought I would throw in some Yoda talk to spice it up.
       I want to go out and truly live my life. I figure if I can learn more about myself and the things that I love, I will be able to find my way. So, voilà, this blog was born. I will be blogging about my life, my interests, things that I do, when I have a great day or maybe even when I have a horrible day. Life is about treasuring the wonderful moments, but also realizing they aren’t all fabulous. I try to keep this in mind when I’m having a bad day, because I can realize that tomorrow could be the best day of my life. My blog will be about it all, so I hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading!
       Oh! Also a quick note on the name. When I was a baby, my dad gave me the nickname “Stinkerbug.” I have no clue why, he said it just fit, so it has stuck ever since. It is something dear to me, so I thought it was appropriate to name my blog “It’s a Bug’s Life.” Bye for now! (:
