Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I just recently got home from California and everything has been a mess! I started back to work at the Pastry Garden Thursday and every sense then I have been working my tail off! Any who, coming back home means coming back to more drama, which personally I am getting sick of. I am always in the middle of everyday and that is always not fun! Yesterday I was reading through a magazine ( the New Era) and I came across a quote that everyone should keep in mind as they go through their life, even me! I am really going to try to live by it seeing is that I am starting a new chapter in my life; school, work, institute and other church related activities. Here is the quote:
"So many of us make a great fuss of matters of small consequence. We are so easily offended...I plead to you to control your tempers, to put a smile on your faces, which will erase anger; speak out with words of love and peace; application and respect. If you will do this, your marriages and families relationships will be preserved. You will be much happier. You will do greater good. You will feel a sense of peace that will be wonderful."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley
Boys are like purses. You're always gonna have that one boy that you're always comfortable with and you know you'll always kind of like. That's your purse that you wear everywhere. Then you have that gorgeous bag that you want everyone to see you with but the gorgeous bag is usually a jerk or costs a lot of money. Then you have those other purses that you really like but you don't want to be seen with.
Intelligent and kind. Your beauty goes much further than your apperance. Also, you make judgements of people based on their personality and not their looks. Attaining all the knowledge that you can is one of your major goals in life, but you are also a person who can make things happen.
Well Saturday, we went to Half Moon Bay. The guys went golfing while the girls and the kids went to the beach. The water was freezing but that didn't stop the kids from getting into the water. I had to wear a jacket on the beach that is crazy!
This is my cousin Aubrey (right next to me) her cousin McKenna (giving us bunny ears) and me!We had a great time that day!
This was the ugly Jellyfish that was on the beach. There were tons of them up and down the beach. I touched it! It was really gross, I didn't want to touch it but wonderful Joe put my hand on it..gross! It was interesting in a gross kinda way.
My cousin Aubrey found this crab shell when it was washed it up to shore. That was a cool find. She wanted to keep it but there was a little creature on the back of it so we wanted to put it back in the water! Also, I found a dead Sea lion on the beach, I think you know why I didn't take a picture of it. It was really sad I seriously almost cried.
Well Saturday night we went to the Oakland A's game. We had somem pretty good seats! We were on the 30th row from the bottom! I was so happy that I got to go because it has been a long time since I had been to a Pro baseball game. I just love baseball.
So the A's played the Angels. Man was that an interesting game. We sat in the middle of a group of Angels haha that was funny, just because my uncle is such a A's fan. Well in the middle of the game all the kids wanted to go to the fun zone (its just a cute little place were kids can color and just get about from the game because you know kids can get bored at a baseball game) so the moms took the kids there and it was just me all alone with the guys.
So my daddy calls me in the 5th inning and says to me that he just saw me on ESPN! I had my 5 secs of fame! I was so excited. I got to be seen all over the world how exciting was that? 
So, I am having a blast in California! We have been super busy lately! My uncles sister and family came into town last week and so we did a lot of site seeing. The picture above is of Lake Tahoe, I just think that picture is beautiful, and I took it! Lake Tahoe is so pretty! The house we stayed at was perfect. I wish I could have stayed there longer, but I guess I had to leave sometime.
We also went to San Fransisco. It was SO COLD! Now I'm from the south, and it is HOT in the south, so I was kinda cold. I'm glad I got to go there it was a good experience.
Fisherman's Wharf! It was so cool, although it was crowed! I took this picture from the restaurant of the sour dough place, I can't remember the name. But they have come pretty good sour dough bread. They take the bread and they can make animals out of it, too cute. At the restaurant I had the I guess "famous" calm chowder of San Fransisco. It was pretty good I might say.
Well, today I said my last goodbye's to my family and some of my dear friends (sorry if I didn't come by and see you but i was really busy). I had to say goodbye today because i wouldn't have time to go tomorrow seeing that I am leaving for California tomorrow. I'm so scared to go to California but super excited at the same time.
I went and said goodbye to my best friend Hannah today. It was really hard saying goodbye. I almost cried, well actually I did cry when I got in the car. She has been there for me through thick and thin. She is an amazing person and I just want her to realize that.
I found this quote and I thought I would like to share it with you since I thought it was very good way to end a blog : "Its just something that happens as you grow up, you realize that its less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones"
So. Its that time of the year again. BBQ, fireworks, and family reunions. Each year on the 4th of July we have our Trussell Family Reunion. The Trussell's make up half the city of Hattiesburg so we go out to this big farm in Columbia and have a huge part I shall say. I think this is a great way to spend my last day in Mississippi, just with my family. I can't wait to go tomorrow i think it will be fun. I hope yall have a great time tomorrow on the 4Th! Be careful and safe! *LoVeS*
Well last night i had a fabulous night with the best kids! I babysat my mom and dads friends children, Olivia and Harper! They are the cutest kids and very nice, polite and they even obey! What more can you ask for when you are babysitting...it was amazing! We had to much fun...watching cartoons, reading books, and playing one of my favorite board games Sorry! I had a blast! 
This is Olivia isn't she adorable! Her and my little brother Kru go to the same pre-school! She is only 2 but has a mind of her own! She is very dependent! SHE was the boss of the night, and what a night that was!
And this is Master Harper...that is what i HAD to call him ha ha... he is 7 and is all boy! He is the sport fan of the family and is very talented! Him and I had a blast playing on the X-Box 360 of his. He was the hard on to try to go to sleep last night he kept trying to stall and it was pretty funny... after Olivia went to bed he and I decided we would treat ourselves to a little ice cream party and boy was that a interesting treat for the both of us! But after that persuasion of ice cream and 3 books I finally got him to go to bed.
This picture is my favorite I wish all brothers and sisters acted this way..all loving and caring...but i know that it wont be long before they cant stand each other but at least i got this picture so i can prove to them that one day they loved each other! This was right before Olivia had to go to bed! I allowed them to watch a little T.V. but shh...don't tell there parents. Over all i thought last night was a hit! They are so cute and i cant wait to watch them again! The parents called me this morning and were like "What did you do?!" I started freaking out like i didn't something wrong... Then they said "They wont stop talking about you!" I just laughed! *LoVeS* 
This picture is of our feet. I liked that the shoes were neon and very colorful so i of course had to take a picture of them yay for me!
This picture is of Miss. Hannah on the left, Miss. Kat on the right, and of course me sitting on the floor :) (Kat do you like how I put 'Miss' for your name lol i didn't want you to feel old if i put 'Mrs')
And last but not least this photo contains some of the Young Men and the Young Women! Man i had a fun night! Some of the Young Men and Young Women are planning on going again Monday since Mondays are the Special days lol I guess because everything is half off that day Yay! So yall will get to see more bowling fun next week! *LoVeS* 
Well it sure if summertime in the good ole south, and you can certainly feel it. Kru (my cute little brother) and I were chillin' by the pool today and in this cute little voice said "Taylor can I have a Popsicle?" I mean how could I have said no. So we got one and man was it refreshing ha!
Now I just want to give a personal shot out to "Puff Daddy"...STOP CHANGING YOUR NAME! IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN COOL THE FIRST TIME BUT NOW IT IS JUST GETTING OLD!
I'm sorry yall that yall had to hear me ramble about that but I think it needed to be said and I know that someone yall feel the same way. *LoVeS*
We watched movies. We watched My Best Friends Wedding, Notting Hill, and While You Were Sleeping. They were really good even though me and Kat hit the hay during the second movie. Hannah and Ashleigh managed to get through all 3 of them and going to bed around 2 that morning crazy!
Ashleigh is standing. Me sitting on the chair. Hannah sitting on the floor lol.
I don't know what Hannah was trying to accomplish in this photo I think she was just happy to at the slumber party but who wouldn't? It was SO much fun! Kat is a great person with an awesome house! I LOVE the Young Women!
This is me and my graduation cake that Hannah and Kat baked for me! It was DELICIOUS! Thanks so much gals! 
He is just so cute!!
This was the first picture we took i was sitting on the ledge at the train depot..i think this is the very first picture the test shot. I like it I think this one might be the one i send in the invitation for graduation i dont know:/
This one is by far my favorite one! Suzanne told me to pose and i just struck one! I love it in black and white and with the train behind me! I want to blow it up and put it on my wall but i highly doubt my mom will let me..I might just do it and not tell her and just suffer the consquences he he he;)
This one i love as well i dont know why i just love head shots! this was the start of the back alley downtown it was funny! My mom wants this one to go in the graduation invitations but i just dont know whether to pick the first one or this one oh well i have to figure it out soon i need to get them out!
This one was the last one of the day and i shall say that it was a good way to end the day! I like the fact that i have my shades on lol!
