Going through my old journals is one of my favourite things to do. I can really be quite nostalgic when I want to be. It could very well be more of a fault than an asset, but anyway. I came across this, written in February of 2006, and loved it so much, I just wanted to share. It’s silly, and you may laugh- and, whatever- but it’s one of the few things that hasn’t changed at all in 7 years:
i like when ballet class is over, and alicia and i stay in our leotards and tights and ballet slippers and do cartwheels all around the room.
when i grow up and have a house of my own, it is going to have two very important things:
a dark room & a big spacious dance room, with mirrored walls and bars.
and i am going to do cartwheels every day and never lose touch.
Zack, take notes. This is happening.
What are some things you want in your house, when you grow up? :)
You are my fave person. Love this post & that photo of you.
P.S.I’ve never been able to do a cartwheel. It is so sad.
Aww love you, girl! :) And cartwheels are tricky! Mine have never been perfect!

Aw I love this!!! If I had kept up with a journal when I was little I probably would have said something very similar :)
Aww thanks :) It’s a pretty good thought, isn’t it?

this is such a perfect weekend outfit! in my future house i just want an outdoor fireplace to spend summer nights by : )
Aw thanks girl! That sounds absolutely lovely. I love outdoor fireplaces!

Katie you are so cute. I know I tell you that every time I comment but it’s true! I only have one journal from my past and it’s from when I was a boy crazy 13 year old. And man was I boy crazy haha
Aw thanks Denise! :) haha I was definitely boy crazy, too, so I understand completely! It was pretty ridiculous!
xo
This is so sweet! I love it…and believe it. Cartwheels every day okay Katie?!
Aw thanks girl :) YES. Cartwheels every day! It’s a deal! ;)

I just love the simplicity of this outfit, I think you look adorable and ridiculously teeny tiny (I won’t lie that I’m extremely jealous!)
I used to do ballet and if I could have a ballet studio in my house I totally would! Maybe someday…
Aww Courtney, you’re such a sweetheart! :) I did ballet, too! Yay! Yes, we can dream, right?!
xo
How precious! I love that you have all your old journals and these quotes are too cute!
Aw thanks Giselle! :) Yeah, I love reading through them every once and a while. It’s a good reminder of what’s important in life, and makes me happy!

Aw Katie! You are too cute! This makes me want to go back through my old journals!
I’m obsessed with this easy breezy look you have going on! Oh and you have seriously gorgeous hair!!

Aw thanks girl! :) You are just too sweet!! I definitely recommend going through old journals. It’s a riot!

Oh my gosh. How cute were you?? Can we dress up in our leotards and do cartwheels once you get this magical room of mirrors? ;)
YES, please. It’s a date! :)

This is awesome! I always look forward to reading your posts! Its not what I want in my house but more where , I so badly want to stay in the little town I grew up in!
Aw you are the sweetest for saying that! Thanks for making my day! :) And I love that! I hope you do get to stay in the town you grew up!

I think i have a journal entry almost exactly like that. So great! And FYI… I still want that mirrored ballet room. lol
Aw yay great minds think alike! ;)
xo
so cute! i also like re-reading journals, but mine tend to be significantly less lighthearted! still, how better to grow than to study yourself?

Oh, girl, I most definitely have much less lighthearted stuff, as well! I agree 100%: it’s the best way to grow!

Oh my goodness I love you! I’ve ALWAYS wanted a house with a big dance room and mirrored walls! Unfortunately, I haven’t kept up with my ballet since i graduated high school, but I want to get back into it oh so badly!
