Summer :)

Summer is almost over?! Only 2 weeks left? WHAT? where the heck did it go?? Summer always goes wayyyy too fast! This summer has been SO great though. I have done so much and had so many good times! I worked at the Timp Freeze almost everyday. And anytime I wasn't working, Jalen and I were hanging out. Going crawdad fishing, to seven peaks, shopping, looking for an apartment, going on spontaneous road trips, doing spontaneous things, living by YOLO, etc. The list goes on and on. I also got to see my best friends Caitlin and Tj. And I just recently went to Moab with my family and the Hansens. And cant forget, Rach got married!! So many good times, memories, and laughs will remind me of the summer of 2012. Now it is almost time to move on with my life, and begin another amazing adventure!! COLLEGE. and living on my own. I move out on the 20th. That is about 1 week. I can't believe it. Growing up is a weird feeling. I haven't decided how I feel about it yet. When I do, I will update you. :)


Graduation

The time finally came. I graduated!! Never thought the day would come. It has been almost 3 months and it still hasn't hit me! It is just too crazy! It came too fast!! But here are some pictures from graduation!

I am really excited to go to college. It has been really stressful, but I know it will be so much fun. High school was a lot of fun, but I am ready to move on and see where else life takes me!

Solar Eclipse

So on Sunday there was a solar eclipse. It was sooo cool. Me, Todd, Tate, Jake, and Kati were going to drive down to Cedar City to see it because apparently thats where you could see it the best, but we decided not to. So we drove to a cemetary in Provo that was kinda on top of a mountain. It was a pretty sweet view. It was really fun. Such a bummer though that right when the sun was the most covered, the clouds went right over it.... so we couldn't see much. It was still cool though! fun group of kids.



Little Miracles Dance!

This past Saturday was the Little Miracles dance at the school! It was a charity dance, and to get into the dance you had to go and buy three things to donate to a childrens hospital. It was such a cool idea. I went with a guy named Todd Ogilvie who is in my ward:) It was a ton of fun! For the day date, we had a huge paint fight. Then we jumped in the lake, went to the hot pots, had pizza, went to the dance for about 30 minutes, then went into the mountains and had a fire! It was just a really good time. And it couldn't have been more perfect of a date. Good way to end senior year :)

Almost Done!

This is basically my last week of high school. EVER. I have 3 more days left until I check out as a senior. Words cannot describe how excited I am for next wednesday, May 30th, the day I graduate, to come. High school has had it's ups and downs. I have been through a lot, especially this past year. But those things have only made me stronger and a better person. I am so excited to see what the future has in store for me. I am ready to move on with my life and see what else there is in the world.

Golf season is here!

In Utah, girls golf is in the spring. Which is now! We started practices in the rec center before school like 3 weeks ago and then this week we actually went out and played a few holes. Then yesterday we had our first tournament against the other 5 schools in our region. It was so fun! We left the school on a bus at 9 in the morning because the tournament started at 11 in Salt Lake at a course called Glendale Golf Course. It was a pretty easy course. Not what I am used to playing. It was flat. haha! But super fun :) I ended up playing the best round of 18 holes I have ever played in my life. I took 2nd overall individually with an 82. The girl who beat me shot a 75. I am so excited to be playing golf again. I am really enjoying it and I hope it is a good season! :)

BYU Idaho

So about 3 weeks ago, actually Friday February 17th was probably the hardest day for me. My friend Shaylee Wilcox who goes to BYU texted me and asked if I got accepted to BYU. I didn't even know they were sending out their acceptances yet! So I hurried and got on the computer to check. When I saw the word DECLINED on that screen I broke down. It still makes me cry just thinking about it. I knew that it would be hard for me to get in, but I prayed and prayed that I could somehow get in. Ever since my first year at EFY where I met Caitlin and we decided we were going to go to BYU together and room together and everything, it was always a dream of mine. But that won't be happening. Not at first at least. But the hardest part of it was just seeing it on the screen, and making it official. It is hard when something in life goes differently than what you imagined and you kind of have to redirect your path!

That is what I am having to do! I feel good about my decision to go to BYU Idaho. I had the choice between going to Idaho or just going to UVU in Orem and living in BYU housing. But I know I am meant to go to Idaho. Things are just kind of playing out for me to go there. I am going to room with my friend Gracie from California. I think it will be such a good experience. And I know a lot of kids from my old stake in California that are going there. I know that I will have a good time and get a good education.

I do not know the reason why I didn't get into BYU, however I do know now that it just wasn't meant to be. Luckily, Rachel Potter was at my house when I found out the sad news and she told me exactly what i needed to hear. She told met that there is a reason I didn't get in and no matter what, everything is going to be okay. I don't know if I will know immediately the reason why I need to go up to Idaho, but in time I will know. I am excited for the new experience and to finally get out of high school.

So remember... if things don't go the way you planned, obviously there is a reason. Everything happens for a reason. Heavenly Father has a set plan for us and we just need to have faith and go with whatever happens :)

Gossip

GAHHHHHH. I can't take it anymore. I have never ever seen so many people that just gossip and gossip and gossip about other people. Even when they are standing right there! It is so stupid and so dumb and it is so hurtful. Can i please just be in college already where no one knows anyone and no one has any reason to be stupid, mean, and immature? 6 more months... college please come faster!

Forgiveness

I just wanted to say that forgiveness is so powerful. Why hold a grudge on someone and never let anything go? I feel like that only hurts you if you do not forgive someone and move on. So we need to try and forgive anyone that has hurt us. I definitely am learning to.
Alright that is all <3

I got my hairs cut..

So this past week, on Tuesday, I got a HAIRCUT. I have wanted to cut my hair for the longest time. But I also wanted to have long pretty hair. I realized that my hair was never going to grow the length that I wanted it so I decided I would just get it cut. So I got an A-line cut, with some highlights. Such a big change! I think the lady cut off about 3 or 4 inches. It is weird to run my hands through my hair and its gone! But I am glad that I did it. I love the change. It was SO needed. And I just feel good about myself. It was fun:)
This isnt a very good picture, but you get the idea :)

Rant for the day...

I am going to go on a little rant right now. Today has been such a terrible day. I have been shaking all day because I just feel like crap.

Can I just say that some girls in high school are just so freaking rude sometimes? Here's the story. So I like this guy named Zack.. he is going on a mission soon but we are still good friends and we both like each other. His little sister used to be one of my friends. She completely freaked out when I hung out with him and was texting people about it. Then I go on facebook and I saw a post on this girls wall. It said "We need a good movie night! Ohh and that girl really wants to be you! Same hair cute same guys. What else is next?" The girl whos wall it was on dated him a long time ago. I knew this was about me because the girl who posted it says stuff about me to Zack's little sister all the time. I was talking to my friends about it today and it is all just so stupid. They need to grow up. They do not even know me! They have no right to talk about me the way that they do. They think I am going to keep Zack from going on his mission. But why would I do that to someone I care about? I am not like that. And I am not a skank that will do anything with him to keep him from going. Some people really need to think before they try to purposely create dumb drama... on something or someone they know nothing about. It doesn't make them look or sound cool.

Anyways.. I think that is it. Life is just so crazy right now. But I have such great friends that have helped me so much and told me just to ignore them and stay positive.

Be Positive

So today.. was crappy. Not a good day at all! First of all, my car died yesterday and we didn't have time to jump it this morning so we had to get a ride to school. I hate not having my car with me at school. Then I spent all day studying for my math test. And I still didn't feel ready. Yeah... I think I bombed it. Who cares. I have a high A in the class. And I just didn't feel well all day. But just now... I was listening to this new Kelly Clarkson song that I absolutely LOVE. It is called The Sun Will Rise. It is just such an uplifting song. Makes me feel better :)

Here are the lyrics:

"The Sun Will Rise"
(with Kara DioGuardi)

I can see the weight there in your eyes
I can feel the thorn in your side
Your knuckles are bruised from a losing fight
One way down a dead end street
Broken glass underneath your feet
You think the day won't break the sunless night

The sun will rise
The sun will rise
When you've lost your lights
The sun will rise
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

I've been in stuck in a storm before
Felt the wind raging at my door
Couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't find a way out
Somehow my clouds disappeared
Somehow I made it here
Maybe just so you could hear me say

The sun will rise
The sun will rise (The sun will rise)
When you've lost your lights
The sun will rise
It'll be alright (It'll be alright)
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

And though you can't see it's
So hard to believe it
Sometimes you just need a little faith (All you need is a little faith)
There's an answer to your prayer
And I swear that there'll come a day, yeah

The sun will rise
The sun will rise (The sun will rise)
The sun will rise (The sun will rise)
The sun will rise
Yeah
The sun will rise
The sun will rise
The sun will rise

It'll be alright
It'll be alright (Eeyeaheeyeah)
It'll be alright (Eeyeaheeyeah)
It'll be alright (Eeyeaheeyeah)

The sun will rise

I have the best job!

I work at the Soldier Hollow tubing hill, and can I just say that it is the best job EVER? Well, apart from freezing to death every single time I work, it is awesome! I work with some pretty fun people and they just make it so great! We all goof around so much while doing our jobs well. It is a good time that is for sure!

One thing that I absolutely love about my job is just getting to talk to people. My job is so costumer service based, but we aren't selling anything! (As my supervisor Forrest would say it) I talk to lots of people everyday and just ask them questions like where they are from and stuff like that. It is always fun to joke around with them too and make sure that they have a good time and experience which makes them want to come again!

The kids are always fun to talk to! They are so dang cute and I love seeing the giant smiles on their faces when they go down the hill or just finish. They are always like " THAT WAS AWESOME!" or "THAT WAS THE FUNNEST THING EVER!'. It just makes me so happy and so happy to be there helping them have fun! A couple times while I have worked, some kids with either down syndrome or autism have come and I love to see them having fun. Yesterday there was a boy there named Parker who was autistic. I was talking to his mom and she told me that she was so happy he would out there having fun because he would normally prefer to just sit in his room and read. It made me so happy to see him having so much fun.

I am glad that I can do something for these people, even though it is pretty small. I am so grateful for my job and for the people that I get to interact with every time. I am so blessed!

"This is a new year. A new beginning. Things will change" -Taylor Swift

This is my last semester in high school. I have been thinking about this and the future a lot lately and it is such a bittersweet feeling. I have had an interesting high school experience, especially with moving my senior year. But I am grateful for the good memories and friendships that I have made along the way. But once high school is over, then what? I am hoping and praying to go to BYU in the summer! But if not I have a couple options. UVU or BYU Idaho! We will just have to wait and see what happens.

But this is just what I have been thinking about lately and what has been on my mind.
