Life=Good!

Life is good right now! Busy, but still good! I kinda got bored with blogging for a while, and I didn't really have time. With school, homework, volleyball, spending time with my family, Church things, more homework, I haven't had a ton of time to blog... and when I do have time, I just don't feel like it and I have nothing to write about. Life is definitely good, there was like a month that just wasn't good. I never really felt like people liked me, like I was always just kinda there! But I'll just stop there.

So on monday, me and the fam went to an autograph party for the jazz! It was pretty sweet. Except D-Will wasn't there:(. It was still so much fun! And now I have and autographed jazz hat!

Tuesday was a normal, there was a basketball game after school. It was a practice game, and I left at halftime. I went to mutual and then went to bed.

Wednesday I didn't go to jazz band, which was nice! I came home from school, went to work out, came home and did homework and ate dinner and then went to the Parry's. Kevin's best friends Evan Parry got his mission call last night, so we went up there to see him open it. I came home and watched the rest of the jazz game and finished homework, and then went to bed.

Thursday, or today, there was a basketball game today at south davis. I left again at halftime and went to my church ball game. I am definitely not a basketball player. I came home and did homework, ate dinner, and now I'm blogging!

Pretty boring week I know!

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas!

So I know I haven't blogged for a while, which is weird cause I've had lots of time! Well today is Christmas! I love Christmas! It's just good being with family and everyone! It's such a great time of year. Yesterday, I woke up at 6:15 and went to the stake youth morningside. It was good and I enjoyed it! I came home and took a long nap because I was way tired. Then I just helped people get ready for dinner and such and me anddad ran some errands. My grandparents on my dad's side came and my dad's sister, who's from D.C. came with her husband and her two little boys. Dinner was yummy and then we just sat around and hung out. Later my mom's parents came over, we opened our annual pj's and then went to bed at about midnight. I could not sleep last night. And it wasn't just because I was super excited... although I was, but I just couldn't sleep, and I don't exatly know why. So we woke up at about 7:00 and just layed in my parent's bed and then went and got my grandparents at 7:30. We finally started opening presents at like 8:00.

So on Thursday my mom told me about how she ordered these boots that I wanted and it turned out that it was a scam. So I was kinda sad cause that was the main thing I was asking for and it's pretty hard to get a pair of Uggs days before christ

mas. But it turns out that they had some at Nordstrom on wednesday that were the exact ones I wanted! So for Christmas, I got some Uggs, which I had no idea that I was getting, a new camera, a Sweet Jazz hat from spencer,

some clothes and some other random stuff. It was good! I feel so lucky for everything I got! There are some people who can barely afford to get one present.

Here are some pictures from this morning...

Spencer didn't sleep that much either

Yeah, it's pretty sweet

Definatly not a white Christmas

Good Week...

So this past week has been pretty good! My birthday was on Thursday and it was fabulous! I have the best friends! Friday night I had my birthday party and we went to the zoo lights! They are so cool and it was so much fun! I took some pictures, but i'm not sure how to get them on cause I'm on Spencer's computer! At the zoo there was a baby monkey that was born the day before... so that makes it my BIRTHDAY! Yeah, we have the same birthday now, pretty cool! Saturday I slept in 'till like 9:00 and then made some breakfast cake! I ate breakfast and then showered and then went to the store with mom, costco=always good! So after the store me and mom went to Christmas Carol and Rogers. It was really good! Saturday night I went to a family party, kinda boring, but ok! Sunday was just a normal day...good day! Today was good. AFter school I went to the rec center with emily and worked out, then we saw marissa and her mom took us home. Mom and Dad are at the Jazz game, some and spencer got Subway and now we're just watching the Princess bride! 4 more days till Christmas Break!!!!! ...aaand only twelve until Christmas!

There's no fRiEnd like an oLd FrIeNd!

Thanksgiving break was good! Since most of my friends were gone, emily and I hung out a lot. It was good. There really is nothing like an old friend. Emily and I have been friends since we were like TWO! Crazy, huh? It's so much fun to hang out with her and I honestly could tell her everything. I LOVE our crazy talks about random and kinda weird things. Emily know pretty much all there is to know about me so I can always just be myself around her! It's nice, I enjoy ours talks! So here are some highlights of my thanksgiving break...

-the "blizzard" on tuesday

-doing p90x with emily on tuesday

-watching Bring it on on tuesday with emily

-watching mean girls with emily on wednesday

-THANKSGIVING!

-going to walmart at 12:00 on thursday night/friday morning

-walking around with sarah cause the movie was sold out

-the jazz beating the lakers! stupid kobe...

-Nevada beating Boise... that was a good game

-getting an e-mail from kevin! He had a good thanksgiving too!

-Byu-Utah game on saturday!

-going to church

-snow all day on sunday!

...that's pretty much it! Oh, and also sleeping in until about 10:30 every day, yeah it's kinda bad but still fun! It was nice to have a break, but I'm kinda ready to go back to school. I actually really enjoy school, and we have two basketball games this week and I must say our guy's basketball team kicks butt! we have a really good team! Plus, the sooner school comes, the sooner my birthday is here!!

sToRmS?!?!

So i was going to write this post on wednesday, but I didn't have time when I got home. I decided to call this post storms because I was thinking about this quote, it goes like this: Life isn't about waiting for the STORM to pass it's about learning to DANCE in the RAIN! I thought this would fit good with this time just because of everything that is going on.

Kevin has been gone for over a week. We just got a letter from him today! He's says it's tough, but getting better everyday! He says his comp is stupid though, he says "he is a self-righteous butthead"- his words, not mine. I guess everyone in his district just kind of roll their eyes at him.

On Tuesday there was a "blizzard". Everyone was freaking out about it at school and saying that everyone needed to be home by 4:00. Even though it was kind of ridiculous- it was barely a storm at all, let alone a blizzard, I decided to have some fun. Emily came over after school and we went and rented a movie. Then we came home and did p90x and then had dinner. Then we watched the new Glee and then watched our movie, we watched Bring It On- Fight To The Finish. It was hilarious and I enjoyed it very much! After we watched the movie, we decided we were going to go sledding... at 10:30 at night! It was really fun!

Thanksgiving was good! Spencer, mom, and I went to walmart last night at midnight to get some stuff for my Aunt Karen. I can't believe people actually do that every year. It was fun, but i probably won't do it again, atleast not at midnight!

Life is good right now! In less than two weeks I can get my permit!!! ..and I will also be 15! I put up the christmas tree today and we'll probably decorate the house pretty soon! I love the christmas season! It's good.....

Farewell?

So today was Kevin's farewell. It's crazy! I can't believe it's already here. I look back to July when he got his call, and back then, November seemed so far away, and now all of the sudden it's here. I'm am going to miss him so much. I love all of our times driving down the street, blasting to music and singing at the top of our lungs. I love going to see movies with him, and hanging out with him. I don't know what I'm going to do without him here. It will be so weird. Even though Kevin and I have had our fights, and at times I've said that I wouldn't miss him at all, I'm going to ball my eyes out on wednesday. I only have 2 and a half days left with him for the next two years. When he gets back I'm almost going to be 17. Crazy, huh? I honestly don't think it's really hit me that's i'm not going to see him for TWO YEARS! We don't even get to talk on Christmas because he'll still be in the MTC.

So today in yw our lesson was on being grateful. We talked about how everything we have came from someone else, and it's true. You could make cookies, but where did the ingredients come from? I have so much to be thankful for and sometime I don't think I show it enough! Here are some things to be grateful for...

-My parents, all they do for me,

my mom came and picked me up from school EVERY day during the volleyball season and took me to practice

-my dad who goes to work everyday, and works super hard, just to provide for me.

-My brothers

-My amazing friends, they help me stay strong in the church and are good examples

I could go on and on forever about things I'm thankful for.

I do have some pictures, but my computer is being retarded right now, so they'll be up soon!

State Tournament!

So this weekend was the volleyball state tournament! It was so much fun! It was down at UVU. Yeterday we lost our first match, which meant we couldn't take state :(, but then we won our second match! Yesterday in the morning we played sky view, we barely lost and went all the way to 5 games. Then after we went to the mall to get some lunch, and then went to the Herricks grandparents to just chill until we went back. In the afternoon we played Salem Hills. We took them to 5 games too, but ended up winning! Then this morning we started off playing Spanish Fork. We only went to 4 games, and won that match too! Then we just chilled for a couple of hours until we played again. Our last match was against Mountain View ( I think, It's hard to get all the names straight). We beat them in 4 games! So at the end of the day, we ended up in 6th place. Which is pretty big, saying as Bountiful hasn't placed in state in YEARS. It was so much fun! We had a great season and I'm going to miss all of our seniors. I look up to them so much and they really have helped me get better!

6th place baby!
