Let's see... December. Christmas/Cruise. Life.

Wow, it's been a while yet life is still great as ever! December always seems to fly by and now-welcome 2010! I can't believe I graduate this year! It always seemed to be so far away, and now I'm writing it on papers daily! For Christmas our family went on a cruise to Cabo for 5 days :) It was so so nice to get out of the freezing weather and soak up some sun! Although it did ran one of the days in Cabo, but hey it made it an adventure! We had two days on the boat and two days at Cabo. The first day because of the rain we ended up just shopping and exploring the town. It consisted of alot of "Hola Amiga! For you I make a deal, best price of the day" haha of course we took the oppertunity and loaded up with some mexico souveniers. The second day, we went to Chileno Bay for a day of snokeling and being a beach bum. It was so fun there were quite a lot of fish and they would swim so close to you! It kinda gave me the willies! All in all it was a fabulous trip and I loved spending time with my family! Oh and not to forget eating absolutely non stop. Pretty sure I had an ice cream cone at least 3 times a day :) Christmas was the best, not to mention not having school for 2 weeks! During the break, our group of friends had an Ugly Sweater Day and went bowling! We found bountious amounts of sweaters at the DI and probably picked the some of ugliest ones. We got home and New Years Eve in time to ring in the new year. Oh! also a littel later a bunch of friends and I went Ice Skating at the new rink in St. Geezie! It was such a blast for something new and of course we topped the night off with dinner at OG :) I highly recommend taking a road trip and putting on some skates! As for January it has completely been a blur. wow I can't believe it is half way over! School is keeping me super super busy but thank goodness second quarter is now officially over! We also started lifting and hitting in the basement for softball. I absolutely can not wait for this season! ... it's my last, I have looked forward to this season for practically my whole life! We have amazing coaches and I think our team is going to carry on the tradition of dominating the state of Utah! As always my friends are there with me every step of the way and we are always coming up with something crazy to do. I couldn't go from day to day without them! It's been different this year and I really miss all the goodtimes with some good college friends that I don't get to see very much but I know we will always be friends :) Also there could not be a better family to put up with my craziness every day Love them :) I am so Blessed it's crazy! Down hill slope baby! can't wait!

Manager's for the boy's basketball team :) Love them!

Can you say ugly? Mine was definitely the best ;)

Lunch with some of my favorite girls! So good to catch up!

While in San Diego we went and did Baptisms as a family. It is the most

gorgeous temple! Meet me there in five years? ;)

ANTM anyone?

Creepy fake statue man, he was awesome!

Our waiter on the boat- Nate absolutely loved him!

Yes, it rained a little, oh wait. Practically poored the whole day! haha

Oh an my grandma came on the trip with us :)

My Life Goes Like...

Life is so crazy! I feel like i'm always running around doing something while I'm falling behind on something else! Thanksgiving was a super nice break from the usual hectic schedule. All of my mom's family came down this year so we had a full house but it was so fun to see everyone. And of course the non stop eating from Thursday to Saturday :) Mara was only able to stay for a little but it was so good to catch up with her and do all our usual traditions such as sleepovers and Top 20 Countdown marathons! I was sad she had to leave... I wish she could just stay home for permanent! I am definitely feeling the Sunday night blues and dreading school in the morning... however it will come no matter what. I can't believe i'm already this far into my Senior year. It is going by so fast and has been so fun! I'm going to have to start making some decisions for my future here pretty soon. It kinda makes me sick to think about it... I just need to remember to live in the moment! Oh, speaking of, I am officially a manager of the boys basketball team so that should be exciting! Life just keeps going whether I'm ready or not! Thank goodness I have the new Carrie Underwood cd to be the sound track :)

S80's!

S80's- yes it says Sadies. Also that was the theme- Sadies in the 80's! Isn't that cute! Well another successful dance has come and gone. First off, I went with Russell Stewart! It was an abosolute blast, with the best people doing crazy fun things! For our day date we went up to Jessica's Cabin. That is where we got in our Paint Fight, which is how we went to the dance, covered in paint! We split up into teams, each team had a different color and then we pretty much just went nuts! It was so fun, and our goal of being covered in paint was completed. The rest of the afternoon was filled with 4-wheeling, Apples to Apples, Curses, Fooseball, Ping-Pong, and Pool (which of course me and Russell dominated at!) We returned the boys to their humble aboads, went and got ready for the dance (keep in mind we didn't shower- still splattered with paint), and then picked them up for Dinner. Oh! We caravaned in Saryn's humungous 10 pass van and Jess' suburban which was so fun so we could all be together! Dinner was out at Kennlyn's house and it was so yummy! Dutch oven potatoes, chicken.. you name it! Then we headed out to the dance, yes, we were the very first ones there! Needless to say we got our pictures first and done quick which was way nice. Danced the night away... Then. We went out to my farm and watched Disturbia on top off a haystack! We had a projector, speakers, the whole nine yards! It was a blast! A little cold but that just provided a good excuse for some couples to cuddle ;) Over all I would rate a 10! Definitely one of the best dances I've been to!

My Date :)

My Team- of course we won ;)

All the darling girls!-My arm looks like it's a tattoo sleeve

Our boys- their dorks. This is how they wanted their picture...

The whole big happy group! :)

It's a Witchapalooza!

Well UEA is at it's end.. It has been super super fun and definitely much needed! On Wednesday Me and a group of friends went down to the football game in Hurricane which was way fun but a lousy game sadly.. then on Thursday we just bumbed around and went oatmealing and such :) Then on Friday we left for the big SLC for a wiley women witchapalooza weekend! All the girls on my mom's side of the family stayed in a hotel and went shopping and stuff and of course the main event Witchapalooza! It is a dinner play about witches so obviously it called for some wicked witch costumes! It is up at Gardner's Village and everyone dresses up as well. Super fun and got me in the Halloween spirit! Oh haha we called ourselves the Gardner's Village princesses because you would have thought we were at Disneyland. 3 different groups asked to take a picture with us! haha we found it qutie humerous. Well, one more day of freedom... who knows what it will consist of. Life is absolutely fantastic! I am really excited for Sadies ( ps I'm going with Russell Stewart) our group chuck full of super fun people! Just lovin' every day! :)

Sorry the uploading of pictures wasn't working for some reason... Witchy pics to come soon!

Homecoming!!

My very last homecoming ever at Cedar High is now complete. It was quite the week thats for sure! Dress up days, spirit nights, royalty assembly, the big game, and of course the dance. But it would be completely unthinkable for the teachers to ease up the slightest bit. It seemed like this week was insanly busy and almost everyday there was something that didn't get done that should have. But it was definitely a memorable week! I was part of the skit for Spirit Night to represent softball so that was fun! Then the Big Game. We played Pine View and ended up losing 26-28. Which we actually played pretty good I thought we were going to get creamed but our boys represented! Then of course Homecoming. I went with Jared Weaver to the dance and had a really good time. For the day date we played on a huge slip n' slip (tarp) ate lunch and played some games. It was really fun to have some close friends in the group which made it alot better! We ate dinner at Jared's house, it was delicious then headed out to dance in the rain. Thank heavens it only sprinkled a little :) Nae and Dot stopped by before he came and picked me up. Thanks so much girls, you two are so darling! It definitely calmed the mood of the usual stressfull, screaming minutes before departure :) Overall it was such a good week and I made alot of memories! I can't believe it is my last,.... well that is, till college!!! I Love CHS!!

Homecoming Game! Christi and Me :)

The HUGE slip n' slide! so fun!

The cutest girls and most amazing friends! Oh p.s. I feel like my hair is saying

Thank you very much for the country music award (Miss Congenitality anyone?)

and don't worry this is after I tried to tame it.

Bounteous Blessings- Too Many to Count!

Well, my dearest friend Lynae Lewis has got me thinking about my blessings lately. She is so darling and is always writing what she is thankful for on her blog or she even has a white board in her room for what she is thankful for each day. Such a good example, she is so amazing. So, I realized I don't often express what I am grateful for so today is the start of something new! (no that was not supposed to be a quote from HSM although I did start singing the song in my head ;)) anywho, I am so extremely blessed I feel so spoiled sometimes. I am so grateful for the most supportive, amazing family that is so strong in the gospel and loves me no matter what. Along with that I am so grateful for my relationship with each of my siblings and my parents. I am very thankful for the most fabulous friends in the world who make me laugh and are always there to listen to me vent. We have so many fantastic memories and make more daily. I am blessed with a healthy body, for the most part, that lets me participate in sports and live life to the fullest. I'm extremely grateful for a testimony of the Gospel and of my Savior Jesus Christ, it honestly gets me through each and every day and continues to make me the person I am today. I am also thankful for my material blessings like a house, Rhonda, food, clothes, technology.... I'm so grateful for the opportunity to get an eductaion, although at sometimes like monday mornings I don't always appreciate it... I am so Blessed. It's kind of crazy. Now it is just my personal challenge to realize something new each day. Oh also I am so thankful for Lynae who got me thinking about it in the first place :)
