Hiiiiii!

Okay, people!  Sorry I haven't posted/emailed anybody in a very long while.  Craziness has been my life lately.  However, the next time something cool happens, I shall post something worthwhile. 
For now, the best I can do is say how much I miss you all, give you a huge air hug, and promise to write something of use the next time something eventful occurs.  <3

Horse riding!

I got to go horse riding today!!!! YAY! I am doing a trade with a lady I know, I muck stalls and in return I get to ride! I will be doing this twice a week, and I started today! The work part is pretty easy (though dusty!) and doesn't take to long. I rode today for about an hour, so I'm really sore! I also got to clean out Big B's (the horse's name is Buckleberry, so we call him Big B for short) hooves and put on all of his tack (saddle, bridle, etc)!! I worked on trotting and going over the "bridge" that is in the corral. He was a bit testy at times and would not listen to my commands, but I showed him I was the boss, and he was pretty good. It feels so great to be back up in the saddle!!! I love horses soooo much!!!!!

Frustration

This has definitely been the summer that I have learned the most. I wish I had known what I know now ten months ago. But I can't go back in time. So now I'll just have to be content with planning, planning, planning! I've never been so determined to do anything ever before. I only home that I can eradicate the sting of my mistakes. And my ignorance.

books!

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner an Eclipse novella

This is SUCH a good book I read! It is the story inside of the newborn army in eclipse! I love the writing style and the way the story played out. I was kind of sad that Bree has to die at the end (obviously) but she made it work pretty well! I hadn't heard of this book until my Aunt showed it to my sister and I. If you haven't read it and you like the Twilight series, you'd like it!!!!! GREAT book! Happiness!

Home Again

Well, I'm back now. I had a fabulous trip to South Carolina, visiting one of the best beaches in the country, getting tanner, partying, stuff like that! It was so nice getting to experience a different culture and explore some old history, I should do it more often.

Traveling has always been something I love to do, now I just love it even more!

By the way Utahans, I'm absolutely DYING for some juicy gossip to gnaw on! Especially about those I know. Got any for me? I would be much obliged.

Trek Walk/Swimming/Death

I am currently dead.  Just so you all know.  This is a ghost writing this.

Now then.  On Saturday, my youth group set out on our Qualifying Walk for Trek.  It wasn't so bad.  Our legs went numb after the first five miles.  Now, five miles is not actually all that much.  But it feels like a lot when you're out in the middle of the desert with the sun hammering down on your neck, the water gone from your bottle, and you have to go up and down numerous hills.  What's wierd is that the last five miles was way easier than the first ones.  My friend Makelle and I jogged down the hills at first because it felt easier.  Then we started jogging up them.  All was fine and dandy.

UNTIL I GOT HOME!!!!!  The whole ten miles (it was actually technically only about nine) caught up with my legs.  Owie.  Not fun.  But an episode of Wordgirl and the Gilmore Girls made me feel considerable better. 

Today I went to the Lehi Legacy Center with my friend Mary Djurich (pronounced JUR-ITCH) and GUESS WHO WE RAN INTO IN THE LOCKER ROOM?!?!?!?  Whitney Bullock!  Wierd, eh?  Does anybody know where she lives?  Anyway, 'twas quite fun. 

Horse Riding

Abbey and I went horse back riding today! We got to brush and groom them, put on tack, and ride!!!! We both agree that we belong with the horses. It was sooo much fun, and afterward we got to feed them peppermints!! It was an awesome-possum day! I love horses!!!!!!

South Carolina!

Well, it's finally time-I'm going to South Carolina! It's going to be over 90 degrees every day there, we're less than one hundred yards away from the beach and I get to go shopping! I'll be gone the 3rd through the 23rd, almost all of June.

This will be the first time that I've ever been on a plane, it should be fun. Except for the fact that we have to be at the airport by 4:30 and security is quite the experience I've heard. Our entire flight will be eight hours long... Not including the plane change in Dallas. I'm sure by the time we get to West Columbia we will all be very tired and ready for a nap.

I can't wait to taste how different the food is there, the whole south is like a different culture. We'll be staying at Myrtle Beach for most of the time, so close to the ocean. Later on we're going to head to some of the biggest theme parks in the world in neighboring states!

Wish me luck, I'll be back some day! Hopefully with an even tan!

Summer List

I have an assortment of things I am planning on doing over the summer, most of which involve taking over the world.


Here is my list, in order of most important to least important:

1) Write about ten gazillion songs for guitar and about five gazillion songs for piano.

2) Ignore the fact that all of my close friends live in Outer Darkness. (Don't ask)

3) Not die. (If you didn't know, this is referring to Trek)

4) Earn about 400 bucks, with which I will buy the moon.

5) Enjoy being 15, in which you have to watch all the >16 year olds have fun while you sit and twiddle your thumbs.

6) Memorize the book of Alma.

7) Make one new friend. Preferably a leprechaun. No experience required.

8) Organize a band of minions with which to storm the white house.

9) Read the Fablehaven books (yes, I know. It's a shocker.)

10) Give Matthew a successful piggy back ride.

11) Eat dirt.

12) Clean my room.



All of these, I have decided, are perfectly acheivable and will be carried out.

All except the last one.
(For those of you who don't know, this is not at all true.  I can hardly function in a messy room and most of the time, it is clean)

I made it!

Well, it took me long enough to get on here! Silly computer.

School is out!!! (I know, kind of a delayed reaction.) It didn't feel like it though until this morning... I am now a Junior baby! I'm a little excited if you couldn't tell. No more drama and pain for three whole months, no more worrying about grades, no more dealing with stupid boy... Yeah, I made it!

And to top this wonderfulness off, I'm packing for South Carolina, where I'm going to be all of June.

Birthday Haircut!

Heylo ladies!!!!! I donated my hair to Locks of Love today!

Before the cuttage:

During the cuttage:

DRUMROLL!!!!!!!!

After the cuttage:

It's really different, I know. 
But it's still me.
:) <3

Sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore Sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore Sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore Sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore sore!! Can you tell i'm sore? Simulations week is great, though, i'm REALLY enjoying it!!! Hip-hop, cha-cha, and tomorrow is ballet and rumba and stuff...YAY!

Homework oh Homework

I'm not sure who wrote this, but it plays out my feelings quite well at the moment as i work on my last biology project:

Homework oh homework
I hate you, you stink.
I wish i could wash
You away in the sink.

If only a bomb
Would blow you to bits,
Homework, oh homework
You're giving me fits!

I'd rather take baths
With a man-eating shark,
Or wrestle a lion
Alone in the dark.

Eat liver and spinach,
Pet ten porcupines
Than tackle the homework
My teacher assigns.

Homework oh homework
You're last on my list
I simply can't see
Why you even exist.

If you'd just disappear
It would tickle me pink!
Homework oh homework
I hate you, you stink!

Muahahahah!

Today (even though it's not technically summer yet) I am going to be doing my first post on Over the Summer. It is about...TORTURE!!!! Yes, you heard right.
After school, my friends Leticia, Madeline, and I ambushed our other friend Codie. He was peacefully walking down the outside stairs to leave, when Leticia and I jumped out in front of him, weilding unsheathed Sharpie markers! (Duhn Duhn DUUUUUHNN!) As he backed away in fright, we advanced, while Madeline came up behind him and dumped two bottles of water down his shirt! Oh yeah, baby!
We thought it was a victory, but as I reached out to stop his escape, he held me prisoner! (gasp, I know) He held me in front of him as a shield to ensure that he wouldn't get wet. Meanwhile, he was getting away. In a panic, Madeline yelled "DUCK!" to me, and while I did so, she sprayed him right in the face. He relinquished his hold on me, and Madeline threw me a water bottle. We proceeded to dump it out on him as he fled down the stairs.
As we all laughed our heads off (including him), he turned around and said, and I quote :
"You are going to get it!" Therefore, if this is my first and last blog post, you will all know for what cause I have been put to my untimely death.

It was the best last day of classes ever.

PS we would never have done it if Codie hadn't been the kind of person who can take a joke like this, just so you all know.
