The Big Move

So my parents had been hypothetically talking about moving to Utah. But I never knew it would actually happen, let alone happen so fast! For about a month before we moved we were pretty sure we were moving, however not till August. So I was like okay I will have time to say goodbye to my friends and I will get to enjoy my last summer in San Diego. But that all changed when I got the text from my mom the Tuesday of Girls Camp that it was official and that we would be leaving that upcoming Saturday. I was devastated. The girls that were at girls camp know that I just kind of fell apart. I cried for the next 3 days of camp. I was so overwhelmed because it finally hit me that that week was my last week with those girls in my stake that I have come to love so much! And I just couldn't believe Girls Camp was over for me (it was the highlight of ever summer that I went) and that I would be leaving my friends and starting over so soon. So we got back from girls camp with some of our house packed up. Thursday night my best friend Caitlin had a going away party for me at her house which was lots of fun but just so sad as well! Then on Friday we woke up at 6:30 and started packing up the whole house! So many people came to help with was wonderful because we got to spend time together and it helped the tedious process become easier. Then the next day we were off. I had so many emotions running through my mind.. I just didn't know what to do! I was so sad to be leaving San Diego but excited for a new change. Sunday came around and we finally made it to our rental home that we are in right now.

It has definitely been a HUGE change moving to Utah. We are in Heber City which is very small, but not as small as I thought it would be. However its just so different from San Diego. The people are different that's for sure. We have to drive about 15 minutes to get to Park City which is some civilization but its about 30 minutes to Orem, which we go to alot because they have everything. Its a cool change though because a part of me has always wanted to live in a small town. My cousins live in Mesquite, Nevada and that is a really small town and I absolutely LOVED visiting them because it was so small! We will see how much I love it when the winter comes around.... But I did meet some friends! On the 4th of July we went to a friends family breakfast and I met this lady there who said she had a daughter who was going to be a Junior! So her daughter Anne called me that week and invited me to hang out with her and some of her friends! I had so much fun! Everyone was so nice to me and I felt so comfortable around them. Every person reminded me of all my friends back home.

So its been a little over a week and its still hard adjusting, but it is getting better! :) But anyone who is reading this, please send me letters or text me or call me or anything!! I would love to hear from everyone! :)

Summer come faster please!

So Aly told me today that I haven't updated in a while so here I am! I don't have anything too exciting to post about though.. so i will just rant about my life!
Hmm.. what has been going on lately? Well there is only 2 weeks left until SUMMER! This year has gone by so incredibly fast and I just can't believe it. I am okay with it though because I am so so so excited for it to finally be summer! Beach...sun....friends...family...Utah...EFY...Girls Camp... Ahhhh! It is going to be wonderful :) School is dragging on right now. I am honestly not doing anything in any of my classes. We are watching movies and doing random lecture notes in history, nothing in costume design, okay we are doing stuff in math (the only class I have a real final in), in english we just go to class and read, and then in APES we are doing nothing. Its crazy! Why can't we just turn in all our projects and take the tests this week and be done with it? Who thought of this dumb scheduling?

My summer is going to start out amazing though! My cousin Traci is getting married on the 16th which will be my last day of school because I am skipping the last day! Whoooo! We are going to Sea World with all my family that will be in town! And then I am just hanging out till Girls Camp! Which I am so so excited for. So overall I am just so stoked for summer and I can't wait! Just gotta make it through these next 2 weeks.. WISH ME LUCK! :)

Photography

These are some of the pictures that I took at the beach yesterday. I have a passion for photography. Most don't know this because I keep it to myself but there is just something so moving to me about photography and what people can do with a camera. It is my dream some day to be a successful photographer. Maybe travel the world and take pictures!

Birthday Mum

This is from a while ago but for our birthdays, we have started a new tradition in our Young Women's Laurel class. It is called a Mum. They are flowers with strings attached and each string has something about you that a laurel has written about you. My young women's president used to live in Texas and they would all get these for Prom. So we get them in Young Women's now and this is the one I got for my birthday. They are so cool and I love that we have done them this year. I love writing stuff on them for the other girls and they are just so fun!

Obsessed

I am not sure what the point of this post is but I guess it could be about how I am in love with shopping, clothes, and jewelry. I color code my closet too. I am kinda OCD about it. I have too many clothes and accessories but I just love them. Both pictures aren't even close to all the stuff I have! There is more! I think I have a problem. Everytime I go anywhere I see something like earrings or a shirt and I am just like ah I need those! It's really bad.. haha

Water Bottle Hoarder

 So I take a water bottle to school everyday and I usually don't finish drinking them or I leave them in my bag. Then when I am getting ready to leave for school in the morning and I am packing my bag I take out the old water bottles and put in new ones. I have accumulated a very large pile of half empty bottles over a couple months and it just sits by my bed in my room. I really don't know why I don't just throw them away. I like to save them to recycle and I guess I forget? Oh well I am very amused seeing this many of them. I am finally going to get rid of them today.

My Day Today

So I have some time and I just wanted to tell everyone who reads this about my wonderful day today, in fact my wonderful week! This week was STAR testing at my school (by the way I am done with it for the rest of my life!!) and so all the classes were only 55 minutes. Therefore, I did not have much homework because we didn't even do anything in class! I have also gone running everyday this week except for Wednesday so it has been easier for me to wake up in the morning and seminary wasn't so dreadful. It gets kinda boring sometimes but I still love going. And then today just made it amazing because after my friend Karly and I finished our tests, our teacher said we could leave and if we did leave we had to leave campus. So we did. haha we went to Rite Aid and bought the mini reeses that come in a bag and they aren't wrapped. They are SO much better than normal ones. So we got those and went back to school and sat in her car for an hour. We got really hyper and we were hyper all day and in English we were just being weird and stupid and crazy and it was really fun. And now I am going to go running while my sister is at her art class and then go to Youth Conference!

Running

So for the past couple days I have been going running and I have acquired this love for running! My goal is to run 5 days a week. I don't know if I can go every day but I want to run almost everyday. I love running because it just makes me feel so much better and I feel healthier. Yesterday I ran after I got home from work at 7 and it wasn't quite dark yet but it was pretty late and I came back and I just had lots of energy and I went to bed so happy and I woke up really happy too. I try to run a couple miles but I am not really sure how long I am running because I usually go different ways up to the park by my house and I do different runs up there. It is a lot of fun and I really enjoy it.
