i had a shoot with jessica & aaron the other day.
aaron hates the pictures, so he rescheduled for sunday, but my camera is broken. so. that has to be postponed until i find the money to get it fixed.

it sucks.

i have quite a few injuries.
lots of bruises. a few cuts. mostly from wrestling with my boyfriend. i didn't even notice the worst one until jessica pointed it out to me today.
so i documented, of course.







they're pretty bad. they don't hurt. most of the time.

& while we're on the subject of my boyfriend, i love this text message :)

i took a fabulous trip to westport today with brittany & royal! a very last minute thing. something to cheer me up after my second time failing my test to get my permit. i'm 17, by the way. since you can take it two times each time, i've technically failed it four times now.
i know i can drive. i don't care if missouri knows i can drive. i know. & that's all that matters.

anyway, the shoot was..very cold. so i didn't consider it an actual shoot, because i only took 88 photos. a record low. but here are some of themmm.






this is the lovely brittany tilander. a very talented photographer & hilarious girl.

uptown theater.

a sidewalk in westport. i love westport :)


after westport we took a trip to the coffee shop right next to my highschool called benetti's to visit joe, but he wasn't working. & i had absolutely no money, so i took photos instead.


i wish it had been warmer so my fingers wouldn't have been too frozen to click the shutter.

raytown had a snowday today, which we'll have to make up somehow, & everyone will complain about even though they were gun-ho for a snowday.
if you don't want to make it up, don't hope for a snowday. simple.

but kayla wasn't out of school, so of course i had to convince her to skip & go somewhere with me :)



we went to westport to get bubble tea. i had to get shaken chai bubble tea cus they were out of coconut :( it was actually pretty gross until the ice melted & diluted the chai.
by the counter where they make & give you your tea, they have all different kinds of flyers that advertise random things in westport/downtown. i haven't checked out this photographer yet.

& i almost peed my pants when i saw tea drops opened in another location!

after bubble tea we went to see valentine's day. it was pretty cute. really funny. kinda depressing.

& this is the reason raytown has a snow day. i hate snow. hate it, hate it, hate it.

so, funny story.
my boyfriend & i have been going out for 10 months now. before we started going out, we'd hangout in my basement & watch movies & tv & fight. play fight. it's pretty fun. while we were fighting one time, i lost his pen. my couch just ate it. we looked & looked & it was absolutely nowhere.
well today, while fighting, my couch ate my phone. so i had to lift my entire couch to find it, but i found the pen, too. after 10 months! he was pretty happy :), haha.


i wish i'd remembered my memory card :/
