last day of school...

i am going to miss driving down this road!

Well the day has already come...i had to say adios to my sweet awesome Costa Rican public school... :( i have become SUPER close with my class mates and it was SO hard to leave.I feel like when we move back there will always be that empty hole in my heart from missing them too much...i could NOT have asked for a better childhood experience! it made me realize how much i am going to miss them as they come up and squeeze me and say ''no te vayas'' (dont go) and my teacher gave a sweet speech about having me in their class this year..i am so grateful for all that i am getting to experience! :) ''DON'T CRY BECAUSE ITS OVER...SMILE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED''

My LOVE for ACTING and SINGING!

Annie,grace.daddy warbucks,and sandy

Me and Emma slept over at her house on Wed. We had SO much fun! she is like a big sister to me. We have so much fun...haha even tho there is a 4 year age difference... :) but ..on TUES. we went out to dinner with her family and it was really fun. Then me and Emma went to her house for the sleep over.The next day we went to the beach..one of my favorites '' Playa Minus'' it is a BEAUTIFUL beach by the way! any way it was raining a little bit there toward the end...but it was even more fun with the rain! :) anyway...HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKY!
