In the month of May

These past few weeks have been busy to say the least. I know each of these things deserved there own separate posts but I have been slacking.

I......

Was in the New Era. I wrote a little thing in the question and answer section about how to avoid falling into old habits. I submitted it a year and a half ago and totally forgot about it.
Had Pneumonia. That was HORRIBLE! It lasted a about a week and was one of the most terrible sicknesses I have ever had. In 24 hours I went to urgent care, ER for about five minutes, my regular doctors office, and an x-ray place. Not to mention I was throwing up and had horrible back pain the whole time.
Was Valedictorian. I had to give a speech at graduation.
Celebrated my dad's 40th b-day. We had a surprise birthday party for him. He is the best dad in the whole world. He gives great advice and is an all around great example. I love him so much. undeniably

A Super Fun Picture Filled Modesty Fashion Show Mutual

2009-04-29T20:43:00.003-07:00

Last night for mutual a Laural in my ward put on a modesty talent show for the activity day girls. She had the very talented Stake Young Women's President Kim Skinner take pictures. She brought a backdrop and everything and did an awesome job. If I could choose my talents my first would be photography. I couldn't help droping my jaw as I watched her change the lenses and turn the camara to different angles and things. Sister Skinner is the best!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

2009-03-19T16:03:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, March 18 was my birthday. I am now 14 years old. This means a few things happen:

1) I am legal at stake dances! ( Hal-le-lu-ya!)
2) I am a Mia Maid. I have loved Beehives, and am very sad to leave but I think a new change would do me well. I have mixed feelings.
3) I am one year closer to driving age. Patience, patience, and unfortunately some more patience.
4)Did I mention that I can go to stake dances legally?

My birthday was great! I began the day with some shopping. I got some cute stuff. My Aunt Adele and my cousins Mallory and Julie were able to come. I was glad that they could. It really made it fun. After some shopping we went to lunch. After lunch I came home and my sister gave me a much needed pedicure in her foot spa ( thanks Karly). I then went to my brother Brett and Bryson's first baseball games. My Uncle Jason made me my favorite carrot cake and homemade ice cream. ( It was delish! Thanks Jason!) I ended the game with a game of trains with my wonderful mom.

My First Stake Dance

2009-03-17T15:00:00.000-07:00

My first stake dance was on Saturday and it was AWESOME! It was for a Gilbert stake not mine. The best part was that most of my friends form school were there. My BFF Kellie and I were SO excited. It was her first dance also. We had a blast getting ready together. Kellie even straightened my monstrous hair! ( Thanks tick!) We were having too much fun getting ready and lost track of time and were a little late but it was totally fine. I danced with some pretty cute boys, but half the time I was dancing around being completely silly with some friends. My next stake dance is in just a few days and I am WAY excited.

It's just a little smug .... right?

2009-03-17T13:05:00.000-07:00

So about two weeks ago I decided to ditch school to help my mom clean house ( that was the only way she would let me ditch!). After a little cleaning I decided to paint my nails. I really felt like some tunes so I pulled out my sister Karly's ipod. I was happily listening to music and painting my nails when I decided to change the song. That's when things began to go south. I didn't realize that I had nail polish on my finger!! I touched the circle part of the ipod smuging it instantly. I panicked and picked up the first cotton ball I saw to get the polish off. It would have worked beautifully except that the cotton ball had already been used so it only made the smug worse. I decided to just leave it alone. I had a wonderful plan as to not have my sister get too mad. I would tell her in front of her friends so she wouldn't freak out. My plan worked wonderfully and she wasn't too mad. Thanks for putting up with me Karly!

BTW! my nails turned out really cute. I would have included a picture of the ipod but I couldn't get a very good one.

BYU

I want to go to college at BYU so bad! I know exactly what I need to do to get a scholarship. I need to especially go well on the SAT test. I love the atmosphere of the campus. I can't wait to go to BYU!

My AMAZING Sister

Karly ( my little sister who is ten) is amazing. She is the best sister EVER! Actually she just wanted to have a silly post on my blog. We are sort of opposites but I love her lots.

Cabin trip

2008-12-30T12:47:00.000-08:00

This last weekend I went to my cousin's cabin in Show Low. It was such a blast!!! We did lots of fun things. We played in the snow, Mexican trains, Ranger rides ,movies, pedicures with Karly's foot spa, and SLEDDING. Sledding was so much fun. We had to drive kinda far but it was so worth it.
