Day 361: Flashback


Today and tonight, most of my time was consisted on flashbacks. First it was videos; looking through and uploading old tapes to my computer for my dad's football project was the main idea, but I stumbled into a few random shots along the way. The Commander Baker game, old athletic banquets, and even my brother's "High School Musical" play from middle school was hidden in there somewhere. It made me want to go through all of my old home videos and upload them to the computer, getting to watch those bad boys would truly be hilarious. Secondly, I went through tons of old photo boxes to find the perfect pictures for my graduation slideshow. Erin said she had found tons of pictures from when she was younger, so I had to make sure that I got my cute baby pics in there too! I looked through pictures starting from 1995 all the way to 1998, and I must say that I was a pretty cute kid in a pretty cute family! Throughout these past eighteen years, my family has always been there for me; through the good times and the bad. It seems to me that no matter how serious we tried to be, we just couldn't help but be silly! Growing up in my family must have been a blast, I wish I could remember the younger years more! Now that I'm truly growing up and moving out - there's only one group of people I'd like to say has shaped me into the adult I am today, the Muller family. It doesn't get any better than this :)

Day 360: Catching Up



Today was a day full of catching up. It started out with sleep. After this crazy three day weekend, I definitely needed to catch up on my sleep. Even though my family all woke up early today, I slept in until one. That's pretty late for me, considering the usual early time I've been waking up lately! The second thing I caught up on was tv shows. Lately, all I've been doing is watching Desperate Housewives on Netflix, so I've been ignoring my DVR. I've been missing out on almost every single show I watch, and I realized that I needed to catch up on all the new season finales! I finally got caught up on 90210 and One Tree Hill, my two favorites. I've been watching these shows for years, so I just coulnd't go on without them. :) Third thing I caught up on was this blog. I've gotten into the bad habit of putting it off for a couple of days, and then just updating on multiple days (one time even a couple of weeks) at once. This is my last week of my 365, and I'm making a promise to myself. No more catching up, It's all getting daily updates from now on. I've come to realize that it truly is crazy that I have only five days left! My the time flies by....

Day 359: On the River!


In order to celebrate Memorial Day Weekend properly, it was necessary that Erin, Victoria, and our Indian Princess friends get together at the Brook's river house on the St. Bernard! Since my family decided to be bums and not come, I rode up with Victoria! We got there later than we wanted so we missed the first tubing trip with the Cassani's, but we still made it one of the most fun days ever! We rode on the Rigsby's boat for a bit, then joined up with Kaitlyn and Erin for a little bit of tanning and tubing on Bob Brooks' boat! None of us had been tubing in a year - last memorial day weekend! When we were younger, we didn't have any problem holding onto a tube for hours, it was so easy! Nowadays, our out of shape selves have a difficult time tubing like we used to! Regardless of our weak arms, we still had an amazing time doing what we love :)

We only spent the day at the river however; we had to get back for the Engle graduation party! Kaitlyn was graduating from Austin High School and Lauren was graduating from the University of Texas, so they had a joint graduation party! The house was of course filled with some amazing cakes, food, and people! I had fun catching up with the older kids and hanging out with the young ones, and just having fun bonding with some loving people. I think we can all agree that our favorite part was the end of the night when we got to kick it and start a little party. We're crazy kids, and I wouldn't change a thing about anything we ever do!

Day 358: Party Dress!

After many many times of searching for the perfect graduation dress, my mom and I finally found it today! We made multiple stops in River Oaks, the Houston Dillard's, and even Rice Village! We thought we found the perfect dress at Em & Lee, but after trying it on multiple times, and even buying, I realized that it just wasn't the dress for me! My mom wasn't too happy that we had spent so much time and found nothing, but we were determined to find THE dress before we went home. Thankfully we made our way to Nordstrom's in the Galleria, and found dress heaven! I tried on more dresses at Nordstrom's than I did anywhere else I'd looked - the one definitely had to be there! Eventually, I did find the perfect dress, and I'm so excited to get to wear it :)
Later tonight, the girls and I got to go out on the town... all ten of us! The usual crew added Kaitlyn and Gabrielle for the night, and we made sure that it was a night to remember! Hanging out with my ladies is my favorite thing to do, and having a great time is what we do best! We got a little crazy, and we definitely made it a memorable night... just not in the way we expected. I think next time we go out, we're gonna hold off on the drama. Bringing the party is what we're known for, and we want to keep it that way! We'll keep being the crazy girls we are, but we'll just make sure to keep it classy - class of 2011 that is!

Day 357: Salsa?


Thankfully, tonight was the very last thing I will ever have to do with a club at Austin High School... an SNHS social! I feel like these last couple of weeks have been filled with getting my club hours and socials done, and after tonight I am finally finished for LIFE! The social which was supposed to be an after school movie was moved to tonight as a dancing under the stars social in Town Center! Since school was let out early for the kids exempt from their 6th period exams, we couldn't come back to the school after leaving, so they decided to change things up. I didn't want to go dancing alone, so I asked Mark if he would come with me! Usually, I would think that he would reject an invite to go dancing in front of a bunch of people, but he said yes! I was not only surprised, but thrilled that Mark was willing to spend time with me while making a fool out of himself :) We thought we were going to be salsa dancing, but we wound up learning how to "boogie"! Thankfully, Melinda, Justin and Andrea joined with us in learning how to do the swing, and even though it was a retro dance, we had a blast! I'm glad that even though we weren't the best dancers out there, Mark and I still had a blast dancing the night away!

Day 356: So Long DP 16


Today were my two final Banquets of the year... Mu Alpha Theta and Broadcasting! Both were right after school, so I decided to attend the one I was getting a cord for first... Mu Alpha Theta! Even though it was at the school, it was definitely better than the rest of the banquets I've been to this year! All of the seniors decided that the math geniuses in MAO definitely know how to get more bang for their buck! After about an hour of door prizes, drawing pictures, and eating some delicious food, I realized that I had to abandon my fellow mathletes and head on over to the broadcasting banquet at Mary's house! I got there in the nick of time, because Mr. Gardner was handing out his awards! After we congratulated the winners, Mr. Gardner gave us all back our original applications for broadcasting - videos included! Looking back on the year, I realized I have definitely developed some skills of learning how to make some better and funnier videos. We all swam in the pool, took some underwater pictures, and just hung out for the rest of the day. Broadcasting class may be filled with a bunch of random people, but getting to know them over the past year has been a blast. I am definitely going to miss my buddies in Dawg Pause 16!

Day 355: Late Night Hangover




Who says you can't get crazy on a Wednesday night?! Tonight at midnight (well, technically thursday morning) was the premier of the Hangover 2! This movie was something my friends and I didn't want to miss out on, so we definitely made sure we were attending the midnight premier! Erin, Mariah, Savannah, Jamie, and I got there about thirty minutes early, but we still had to sit in the second row. Not our prime spot choice, but we were still happy that we got to see the movie at midnight! The movie is almost exactly like the first one, pretty much the same exact plot. This time however; there are a few more hilarious characters and schemes. After seeing this moving, there's one thing I'm sure of. I will NEVER get so drunk that I would be convinced to cut off my own finger... GROSS!
